Batiste Original Dry Shampoo, Absorbs Oil & Grease, Classic Clean Scent, 3.81 oz

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 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

This product seemed to work pretty well. It cleaned my hair and left it feeling clean. The only problem I had with it was the smell. It has a lemon-like scent that is very strong. The smell is gone after about 30 minutes or so though and it does leave your hair feeling clean. I mainly use it on days that I am off work. So far, I have tried Klorane, Tresemme and Batiste dry shampoos. Klorane is definitely my favorite, while Batiste is second, and Tresemme last. The main difference I found between Klorane and batiste was the smell. They both work well, but Klorane smelled a lot better. klorane has a fresh oatmeal scent that is soothing and smells really good. It helped me feel relaxed and clean for the day. Tresemme smelled fine but it didn't work very well. The only time I use a dry shampoo is on days that I am off work, and I like the fact that you get a lot more with Batiste, for a wonderful price. I love Klorane, but I used it twice and it was gone. I paid like $5.00 for a 1 oz spray of Klorane. With Batiste, you can get a 5 oz spray for about the same price. It definitely lasts a lot longer. I plan to continue trying other dry shampoos in the future, so I can see how well they all work, but Klorane is definitely my favorite so far.

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!!

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.

In high school, I swam competitively and showered (and washed my hair) daily. At age 16, this is fine, but as you age (and become more busy) it's impossible to wash and dry and straighten (or style) long hair every day. In college, I began shampooing every other day, and wore a ponytail on the days I didn't shampoo - BLAH! Batiste is great - you shake the can HARD, spray lightly and evenly on the part in your hair and rub into your scalp, then brush out. I will then part my hair again (about 4 times total) all along the top of my head and spray evenly, rub with fingers, and then brush out. The spray absorbs most oil and even adds some body to the roots! It even works well after you sweat at the gym (I recommend lightly and coolly blow-drying your roots, then using Batiste to touch up). No, Batiste is not exactly the same as a real shampoo - you won't get the same results, but 75% is better than the 0 I was getting before! Now, I only have to shampoo every third day, instead of every other day like when I started using Batiste. Most people don't know, but shampooing is a self-defeating premise - the more you shampoo, the quicker your roots become greasy. After a month of using Batiste (for the days in between shampooing), I need less product than I used to, and only shampoo every third day. I've tried baby powder on my roots before - it just makes brown or black hair look gray! The only draw back is the scent is a little strong, but my boyfriend claims it smells almost as good as a fresh shampoo. Batiste is money well spent on the 6+ hours I now have every week!

I ordered the Batiste because of the price, but I had a hard time rubbing out the white powdered coating in my hair. There also was no scent. It did a fair job drying out the hair after a lot of effort trying to rub out the white powder. If you want an affordable dry shampoo you can try this, but you may consider paying a little bit more for a dry shampoo that you can easily rub out the white powder.

Only one problem leaves a white residue on my brush

Mycket bättre än jag trodde

Infelizmente ele funciona muito bem (infelizmente porque ele é caro). Já testei outras marcas e esse shampoo à seco foi o único que deixou o meu cabelo com uma aparência de limpo, retirou a oleosidade e durou o dia inteiro. Ele não deixa o cabelo oleoso com o passar dia e não deixa aquela bruma branca depois que é utilizado (meu cabelo é um castanho bem escuro e liso e propenso à ficar oleoso se não o lavo). Obviamente, ele nunca vai se igualar à uma lavagem com água e shampoo líquido mas ele ajuda muito naqueles dias em que por algum motivo não foi possível lavar o cabelo.

Ich kaufe dieses Trockenshampoo mittlerweile schon zum wiederholten Mal und bin nach wie vor sehr zufrieden. Es frischt die Haare effektiv auf und ich kann das Haarewaschen damit problemlos um ein bis zwei Tage hinauszögern. Der Duft ist angenehm und nicht zu aufdringlich. Beim Auftragen hinterlässt das Trockenshampoo zwar zunächst weiße Rückstände im Haar, diese lassen sich nach der kurzen Einwirkzeit aber ganz einfach mit einem Handtuch entfernen oder mit einer Bürste ausbürsten. Für mich funktioniert es zuverlässig und hält, was es verspricht. Ich werde es auch weiterhin kaufen.

Can’t live without it!

Ce n'est pas la première fois que j'achète un shampooing sec de cette marque et celui est vraiment une valeur sûre selon moi. Très facile d'utilisation, odeur légère et l'effet est là les cheveux ont l'air propre. Il ne laisse pas de résidus et dure dans le temps. J'ai eu un petit soucis lors de la livraison, le bouchon est arrivé cassé... J'ai donc retourné l'article le lendemain (très facile et rapide quand l'article est vendu et expédié par Amazon !) et 2 jours après (plus rapide que la livraison initiale) j'en ai reçu un en super état ! Comme toujours service clients Amazon au top, il ne faut pas hésiter à échanger un article ou contacter le service lorsque vous avez un problème. Excellent rapport qualité prix et prix plus intéressant que dans le commerce !
