Batiste 6.73 fl oz Dry Shampoo by Batiste Original

I've been hunting for the perfect dry shampoo for a very long time now. I've tried an easy half dozen, more I'm sure. To date this is by far my favorite. I had found one other that I loved, my hair felt great, looked reat, and it lasted all day -- However the whole day I left white fingerprints all over everything. Black pants anyone? No. After I found that I kept trying to find something else that worked so well and didn't leave the fingerprints behind. Some made my hair sticky, some made my hair stiff, some just didn't seem to do anything. This Batiste is perfect. It does all of the things you would want, your hair looks as if you've washed it that morning. Your hair still FEELS like hair, it's very touchable. I have dark auburn hair and you can't see any residue in my hair at all. There's no strong scent that comes along with the product either. I can spray this in my hair in the morning, go to work all day, go out for drinks after, not get home until late, and my hair still looks oil free. Also, unlike some of the others I've tried, I don't have to be terribly careful with the usage either. If I accidentally spray too much, meh, that's ok.; It's always worked into my hair just fine. I spray it in all the roots and all over the top of my head lightly, then go about my business getting ready. after some time I rub my scalp with my fingers, then leave it alone again. Sometimes 2 minutes go by, sometimes 10, it doesn't seem to matter. Then after some more time passes I rub it into my scalp with my fingers again. then right before I get dressed I run a brush through my hair. Perfect results every time. The best part is, I can use it several days in a row (3 to 4 with no problems) and it works great day after day with no washing in between. (I also have no problems using a flat iron after I've worked it into my hair). When I do wash my hair, it washes out with no problems. I don't have to rinse and repeat, I don't have buildup left behind, It just washes out like nothing, not effecting the lather of my shampoo at all. All around great product that I would recommend to anyone with a more oily scalp

TL:DR Lightest starch (rice), most effective oil soaking, disappears well, texture is good, my hair doesn't feel dry, stiff and rough to the touch. I have vividly coloured hair (aka party coloured, aka creatively coloured). For the blues and purples I love shampoo doesn't work well. It fades those shades REALLY quickly. Note: ALL the red based colours, party or natural, have the same issue. What's the solution? Dry shampoo. I've tried, at this point, seven kinds, including this one. One of those was even homemade arrowroot powder based. Overwhelmingly, I had texture problems. The starch would leave behind a dry, stiff feeling. No pliability to my hair. Now shine. I get that the texture added can be helpful, but I'm an air dry, hair down person. My hair was stiff, looked weird and STILL HAD A GREASY LOOK TO IT. This is after trying more, less, far away, close, waiting for ten minutes for the starch yo do its job, brushing like crazy. It wasn't great. I ended up buying Pureology Hydrate Shine Max. I'd apply a little to my hands and smooth over my hair, working into the ends then running my fingers through. It added a little shine, very little, but did absolutely nothing for the texture. I did a Google search and found a lot of blog and magazine posts with level based reviews on dry shampoo. This one was so consistently at or near the top. It works. Really well. It kills that dirty, oily look, my hair isn't rough and dry. It actually feels nice to the touch, and the starch brushes out. The shine is still deadened, but that Pureology I mentioned earlier? It works now. The other dries I tried had aluminum starch, tapioca starch, silica silyate and arrowroot. The Batiste uses rice starch. The carrier formulation isn't different from the others, except the two powder based ones. I just washed my hair today, after five days. I still showered to wash my body. I still washed my face. However, it was just the Batiste Hydrate Shine Max and brushing for my hair. It still smelled great. Looked good. Was touchable. Five days, people!!

Love this dry shampoo but it was poorly packaged. I ordered 3 and all 3 lids were off and the bottles had been sprayed all over in the box during shipment.

I have been using dry shampoos for over a year. It works well when I need my hair to look good in a hurry. I tried Batiste as well as Peralessence, and Batiste works better and more economical. I tried both brunette and blond Batiste (I am a brunette) and it does not make a difference - they both leave a white residue when applied and once you work into your hair they become invisible. That white stuff is what soaks up the oils and makes the hair look freshly washed. When I first heard about dry shampoo product description did not answer all my questions and now I know the answers. 1. All dry shampoos leave white powder when you apply them. The white powder disappeared after I worked the shampoo with my fingertips and then the styling brush. You are supposed to work it in the same way as you would the wet shampoo under the shower. I did not see any powder on the vanity so there was no "dirt" I had to clean up after using the shampoo. My hair felt different compared to the texture it has after I wash it with wet shampoo. It felt "pooffier", this was not bad just different. 2. My hairdresser told me not to use the dry shampoo more than twice a week and never two days in a row. Dry shampoo works by soaking up the oil in your hair and scalp. Having some oil on the scalp is normal and healthy. If there is not enough oil from dry shampoo over-use the skin and hair follicles can become irritated and lead to problems. 3. I only use dry shampoo on dry hair. If you just washed your hair, my hairdresser said, dry it thoroughly before applying dry shampoo. Even on clean hair, the dry shampoo adds volume although this volume does not last all day. 4. I asked her if the dry shampoo can cause dandruff and she said no. Dandruff is caused by an inflammatory reaction of the skin to the natural yeast that lives on the scalp (this is called seborrheic dermatitis) and dry shampoo has no effect on this condition. Ali Julia review

This is an excellent dry shampoo. It smells fresh without being too perfume-y, overwhelming, or chemically. Adds body without leaving hair too 'grabby' or coated feeling. Sprays in easily, absorbs oil very well, and brushes out well without leaving too much white residue behind. Does not make hair too matte, either. My hair is fine-textured, dark blonde and highlighted (so any remaining white powder residue is not as obvious as it would be on someone with really dark hair), with roots that tend to be a bit oily, so I usually wash every other day. The water where I live is too chlorinated/chemically to wash every day, plus it's too time consuming to wash my long hair daily. Using this dry shampoo easily adds an extra day between washes. I wash my hair on day 1, on day 2 (depending on weather) my roots are usually fine and I can brush out and restyle my hair. If I don't have time to wash on day 3, I use this dry shampoo. After my shower (use a shower cap to keep hair dry!) and before applying makeup, I brush my hair well before application to remove shed hair and knots, then spray this rather liberally all over my roots in sections. Clip the length back in a ponytail and put a thin plastic headband on to keep the front sections off my face, and apply makeup while allowing the dry shampoo time to work absorbing oil. Usually leave it in for at least 15 minutes, the longer the better. Then this trick: I use a clean, dry washcloth or hand towel (dedicated for this purpose) and gently rub the excess powder residue off my root sections, taking care to not tangle my hair too much. Then flip hair over and brush, brush, brush from root to tip to remove the remaining powder residue, flip my hair back over to the front, style, and spray in place. It it a bit time-consuming to take care to remove the excess powder and brushing it out, but all told, it's still less time-consuming than washing and blow-drying. This product leaves my hair somewhat shiny, not too matte. I'll continue to purchase this, and usually buy several cans at a time because I do use quite a bit in one go.

I've heard a lot of hype about this brand of dry shampoo, and was excited to try it out. I've tried 2 other brands and was looking to change it up. (The first brand I tried created a sticky residue and the second one didn't seem to work as well for absorbing oil, even on second day hair. I hoped this one would work better in both regards.) This one is a happy medium - it helps a bit and doesn't leave any sticky residue - but it's just "meh". I don't love the scent, so that might have more to do with it. I might be happier with a different scent from the same brand. For now, I'll continue my search for The Perfect Dry Shampoo. Others might find this one works well enough.

I read all the reviews stating there is residue on the dark drown spray and went ahead and bought the original pray instead. I have medium brown hair with outgrown highlights and figured that if the original leaves powdery whitish residue, I'd at least be able to use it after I touch up the platinum highlight. Ironically, literally a week later, I had our airbnb guest leave behind the dark brown spray which I was thrilled to try. So this is a review addressing both. The original does leave a slight whitish residue which is to be expected with most dry shampoos, love the smell and the oil absorbency. The dark does leave a slight brown residue which in my opinion does come off slightly onto the fingers and nails but it's noting to complain about, it wipes right off by rubbing your fingers (I don't have artificial nails) without even needing a wipe. I made it a point to touch my hair a lot just to see what happens and in my opinion the reviews complaining about the brown residue are overly dramatic (I myself am overly dramatic in many cases lol) - it's so minute that it's worth the "no-oil, fresh hair look". Also I slept on a bright white pillow case and there was absolutely no brown residue on my sheets as some other reviewers had complained. Another positive I like, is that the dark brown spray literally covers grays. I'm 36 and starting to see some individual grey hairs appear :( which is why I'm doing the platinum highlights. If you are a light or medium brunette - get the brown, if you are a blond, get the original, I can't speak for dark brunettes. You wont be disappointed. I am a forever customer and will keep both in stock brown for grown out roots and original for fresh highlights.

I have tried all sorts of dry shampoo brands and products ranging from $5 to $30 but this is by far my favorite. Not only does it work... it smells great. I have very dark hair, it's nearly black. I have tried all the "clear" sprays out there and they suck, to be completely honest... they really suck. I discovered the Umberto Dry Clean Dry Shampoo at Target one day and loved it (only $10). It wasn't a clear spray but gave me extra volume and got rid of the shininess. LOVE, LOVE that product. Then I was browsing through a magazine and saw a recommendation for Batiste and since it's cheaper than Umberto, I decided to give it a try... and it's awesome. It works very well - comes out as a white powder spray and if you rub it in well, it works wonders and smells great! (that's the one thing with Umberto I didn't care for - it didn't smell all that great). I've tried the "Not like your Mother's" dry shampoo and that's pretty mediocre. Doesn't work really well but smells great and is cheap. Dove - smells great, works okay, doesn't last long. Then the expensive stuff... Oscar Blandi... meh - sucks. The Batiste is great and works if you have dark hair like me -- so definitely recommend for everyone!

Mycket bättre än jag trodde

I love this brands products, even though they are a little more expensive. This dry shampoo is incredible - unlike others it leaves hair clean without completely drying it out. Hair is left soft and still so easy to style! Adds volumes, removes oil. Love love love.

📦 Produkt & erster Eindruck Das Trockenshampoo gefällt mir wirklich gut. Es macht genau das, was es soll, ohne viel Drumherum. Positiv finde ich auch, dass es zum Auffrischen zwischen den Haarwäschen gedacht ist und zusätzlich etwas Volumen gibt. 💨 Anwendung & Wirkung Für mich ist vor allem wichtig, dass es einfach funktioniert. Die Haare sehen schneller wieder frischer aus, ohne dass man sie direkt waschen muss. Genau dafür nutze ich so ein Produkt, und das klappt hier wirklich gut. 🌸 Duft & Gesamtbild Besonders gut finde ich, dass der Geruch nicht störend ist. Das ist für mich bei Trockenshampoo ein großer Punkt, weil viele Produkte da schnell zu aufdringlich werden. Hier ist das nicht so. Insgesamt einfach ein funktionierendes Trockenshampoo, das seinen Zweck erfüllt. Die Produktseite beschreibt den Duft als fruchtig mit floralen Noten, was gut dazu passt, dass er zwar wahrnehmbar, aber nicht unangenehm ist. ✅ Pro / ❌ Contra ✅ Kein störender Geruch ✅ Frischt die Haare gut auf ✅ Einfach in der Anwendung ✅ Gibt zusätzlich etwas Volumen ❌ Keine nennenswerten Schwächen 📝 Fazit Für mich ein wirklich gutes Trockenshampoo, das einfach das macht, was es soll. Kein störender Geruch, unkompliziert in der Anwendung und insgesamt genau das, was ich mir davon erwarte.

Can’t live without it!
