Batiste Dry Shampoo

Advantages: A fab product which leaves hair looking great
Disadvantages: None at all

...I was having a really bad hair day a couple of weeks ago, though it was my own fault as the night before I hadn't washed my hair out of laziness! I have the type of hair which does need washing on a daily basis or else it looks greasy, dull and lifeless the day after. My hair was that bad due to it not being washed that it made me feel really awful and self conscious. A work colleague recommended that I try Batiste Dry Shampoo for such occassions. I took her advice and purchased a bottle from Tescos on my next shopping trip. I paid £1.99 for a 150ml cannister, which I thought was quite good value for money. The cannister itself is a bright yellow colour with a jade green plastic lid. The cannister is re-cycleable and is found amongst the normal shampoos on the shelves. It supposedly had a Tropical scent to it, which was the theme...

Batiste Dry Shampoo :)

Advantages: Great for those who dont have time to wash greasy hair!
Disadvantages: Leaves hair feeling a little rough to the touch.

...I love this stuff!!!! It is literally a godsend!!!!! I first came across it when I was in school, I found I didn't have time to have a shower everymornign before school and wash my hair as it took half an hour to drydue to its thickness, and I just didnt have time, so when I found this, it meant I could just have a body shower before shcool and throw this on my hair if it needed it. (My hair gets very greasy very quickly so washing it the night before, the next morning it wouldn't look fresh!!!). Batiste Dry Shampoo is £1.79 (approx) from Body Care, and other various shops (Boots/Superdrug). And its basically like "talcing your hair", not sure if anyone knows abiut that??? Putting talc on your hair if it was a little greasy and you had no time to wash it...! Lol. Well this is much the same only it smells nice haha! it comes in 3...

Batiste Dry Shampoo

Advantages: Makes hair appear cleaner
Disadvantages: Hard to spray on to the back of hair

...I've been looking for a dry shampoo like this for a while but thought they were all out of my price range, as I didn't want to spend a fortune on something that wasn't any good. That was until I saw a review on here, stating how good it was and also the price - £1.99. For this price, I thought you couldn't go wrong really, because if it ended up being rubbish, it hasn't exactly made me skint, so I thought... why not? I read some more reviews on it, and the majority of them had got 4 to 5 stars. So the next day I went in to boots, and searched the store for it. Once I had found it, it was priced at £2.09, so me, being the cheap skate that I am, went across to Superdrug and found it in there for £1.99. It's in a srapy can in a similar size to hairspray with a pull-off lid and comes in a 150ml size can, but I don't think you can buy...

Batiste Dry Shampoo - a good product for hair emergencies!

Advantages: Makes hair look clean; excellent value; doesn't irritate scalp.
Disadvantages: Leaves an unpleasant deposit; hair doesn't 'feel' as clean as after a wash.

...I am a bit of a slave to my hair as it needs washing every day. Although some hair stylists don't recommend daily washing, I think some peoples' hair just needs it, and I'm one of those people. If you have a morning when you're in a real rush, washing and drying your hair can be too time-consuming. It can be much quicker to pop a shower-cap on and have a quick shower without having to deal with shampooing, conditioning and using a hairdryer for 20 minutes - but I never feel clean and presentable if my hair looks a little bit greasy. I bought Batiste Dry Shampoo ('original' scent) from my local chemists' for rushed mornings such as those. It cost just £2.07 so I could afford to experiment with it. I'd read about it on the internet and people were very enthusiastic about it. The packaging is rather retro, which I enjoyed - I think it...

Review of Batiste Dry Shampoo

Hair today, gone tomorrow! Batiste Dry Shampoo

Advantages: Smells great, makes greasy hair look fabulous, can be used to create killer styles!
Disadvantages: Runs out too quickly, can leave a gritty feeling in the hair.

...Ok so this is my first review on here and I think it's appropriate that I write about a product that people should be wary of, but should be in every girl...and boy's handbag! I had an aversion to dry shampoo as I had always associated it with people who could not be bothered to wash their hair, or just dirty people in general! That was a little bad of me and I am ashamed! Washing your hair regulary can be very bad for it indeed, depending on what sort of hair you have, some people can get away with washing it as often as they please and other poor souls get left with dry brittle hair if they so much as wash it more than once a week. If you like me are in the middle then you should wash your hair once or twice a week. When you do wash it you will find that the longer you have gone without putting shampoo on it the better it will...

Review of Batiste Dry Shampoo

Batiste Dry Shampoo - Grease be gone!

Advantages: Really works, cheap, easy to use/apply, takes away grease
Disadvantages: Can used up too quickly

...My hair is quite greasy so I have found the most fantastic product to take care of it. Often I do not want to wash my hair everyday as I have spent ages straightening it etc, the day before and wanted something that would help with the grease when I came across Batiste Dry Shampoo. It says on the can, "refreshes and revitalises hair between washes." It comes in a 150ml spray can. I always buy mine in Boots where it costs £2.09 per can. This is good as I have seen some other dry shampoo's out there from places such as Bumble and Bumble that cost upwards of £20. When you spray it onto your hair it comes out in a fine mist much like the consistency of talcum powder. To use you shake the can first, hold the nozzle a little way away from your hair and then spray lightly onto your hair, concentrating on all the greasy areas. Beware...

Batiste Dry Shampoo

Advantages: A quick fix to refresh your hair
Disadvantages: Excess spraying can cause coloured hair to look dull, especially red hair

...This review is on Batiste Dry Shampoo. You can get this dry shampoo in different scents like Blush and Tropical as well as the original scent. On the bottle it claims to "revitalise greasy, dull and lifeless hair between washes. Instantly leaves your hair feeling clean, full of body and smelling beautiful". This product really does make greasy hair look fresh and clean, also adding volume and a nice fresh smell. It refreshes your hair when it begins to get greasy. This saves you time because you don't need to spend ages washing it. This is good for me because i dye my hair red and too much washing fades the colour quicker. Although this is a dry shampoo, this doesn't mean you can substitute your regular shampoo for this quick fix. I would recommend that you use this no more that twice a week. As mentioned, it is only...

Review of Batiste Dry Shampoo

Batiste dry shampoo

Advantages: Does reduce appearance of greasyness, price
Disadvantages: The product is a bit messy and doesn't quite live up to its claims

...I bought this product because I had seen adverts for it and I had also had friends recommend it to me. The product claims that it "leaves your hair feeling clean, full of body and smelling beautiful". I wouldn't say that it left my hair feeling clean. It does however leave my hair looking and feeling slightly less greasy. Although, each time I use it, I do have to use a lot of it, so the can gets used up quite quickly. It is not quite good enough as a substitute for washing your hair. It also claims that it is "Quick and convenient to use wherever you are". This is not quite true, as it can be quite messy to use. It almost seems like dust when you spray it. I will continue to use this product, even though I have only rated it as satisfactory because it does help a little bit, and it is not as expensive as other dry shampoos...

Review of Batiste Dry Shampoo

Batiste Dry Shampoo

Advantages: Fast, smells nice, works like it says on the tin.
Disadvantages: none

...I havn't been around there in a while and I have been trying loads of new products so keep an eye out for some of my other reviews. All will be honest. As usual I was browsing the shelves in my local chemist with my basket full of hair, face and body products promising to take care of me and make me the best that I can be. I look around and see a small green tin with a green lid. I just assumed it was a spray on hair dye for halloween or similar. I picked it up and started to read it. "dry shampoo" it said, I just assumed it was for dry hair so put it back on the shelf. As i was walking around again (I circle the isles several times to make sure I don't miss anything new) I remember hearing about it on somthing with Gok won. Seeing as I think everything that comes out of the TV is fact I threw it in my basket and off I went to give it...

Review of Batiste Dry Shampoo

Cheap and cheerful dry shampoo for those bad hair days

Advantages: Does what is says it does, cheap
Disadvantages: Leaves my hair a little dull

...The aim of a dry shampoo is that it acts as a pick me up to hair between washes. This particular brand I picked up in Boots and is usually priced around £1.99 for a 150ml aerosol. Now I have A LOT of hair, its long and thick and consequently gets in the way a lot of the time. I espeially have an awful habit of pushing back the front, which means that I often have normal hair except at the roots and in hot weather my hair tends to stick to where I sweat...lovely! So I needed a product that stopped me from washing my hair twice a day and this seemed to do the trick. The packaging is a yellow tin with some tropical leaves (as this is the tropical version) and does look very appealing for someone who is going on holiday as this is the time when you get the worst greasy roots and where hair suffers most. Definitely puts you in a holiday...
