I recently started my search for dry shampoo. I started out trying the new Tresemme one and was extremely disappointed. I then turned to Batiste. This worked great for me. I try avoid washing my hair daily because I have dry ends but suffer from oily roots. This soaked up the oil well and left my hair looking clean, soft, and silky. I definitely recommend it.

I have used this for years, i couldnt live without it, not only does it refresh my hair it's also creates volume and lift to my fine hair. handy if you want a bit of oomph in a style not just for refershing hair. its an oldie but a goodie. (be aware when you spray it, it will get on your clothes, so cover up especially if your wearing black).

Ok so dry shampoo can be a bit gross!!!! But i have long blonde hair, not neccesarily what god gave me, more like what my Colourist gives me every four to six weeks. This product works for me on two levels. Firstly I try everything to avoid doing any further damage to my hair than the highlghts tend to do. This includes less styling/washing etc. This dry shampoo enables me to wash my hair every second day, without feeling completely dreadful! it smells lovely & i can put it in on the morning of day two without my hair getting oiler throughout the day, it really does have lasting power. Secondly the original Batiste that i use actually lightens up any roots, so that i can usually get an additional week or two before needing to highlight, at this point i'll add this product even onto freshly washed hair. (Obviously this isn't a great option for Brunettes, but i do believe that they have brought out a line for darker do's)

This line do small travel sizes as well that you can pop into your handbag. The only issue i have with the packaging is that occasionally the spray can become a little clogged and stop working, at this point i simply remove, run under hot water, dry and replace & it's back to normal!

I do repurchase often & this product is definitely improving the condition of my hair

Best dry shampoo I have ever tried and most reasonably priced, I enjoy the fresh lemony scent. I really didn't like the smell of the blush dry shampoo too sweet and sickly so I will stick with the original.

This is the best dry shampoo for my hair, my hair is brunette, long, thin, color treated and healthy. I have tried Ojon, Oscar Blandi, Sexy Hair Concepts, and a handful of others. This is my favorite of all the ones I have tried and it is the least expensive. I use the dry shampoo in Blush and it makes my hair smell great and absorbs the oil. I alternate washing my hair every other day, I use this on the days I do not wash my hair and it works great. Just spray, leave in for a few minutes while the powder absorbs and then I brush out the powder and style my hair with a round brush and blow dryer.

Wow this product is my life saver, let me explain. I have a full fringe and extremely oily skin. This oily skin leads to my fringe becomming extremely oily by the end of the day, so oily in fact that sometimes after if I have one event in the day, I'll have to shower and wash my hair again before I can go out again at night. My actual hair is not oily, its in fact on the dryer side because of all the straightening, dying etc.
Anyway needless to say washing my hair everyday and sometimes twice a day is pretty frustrating, so when I heard about this product I couldn't really believe it. It sprays a powder like substance on your hair, you wait abit then you brush it out with a fine tooth comb and it soaks up all the oil, leaving your hair looking nice and clean!! Just spraying my fringe in between washes is so convenient for me, I love this product I cannot live without it. This product is cheaper then Klorane dry shampoo and to me the two products work the same.

This is my first try at a dry shampoo in a can. It really gave my hair lift and took away the slight oil I get on the top of my head the day after washing it. If I do not wash my hair everyday it gets extremely greasy at the very top-back (think bald man!) by the afternoon. This stuff kept me from getting greasy, although by the second day of use my hair did get stringy looking at the roots (like greasy, but not shiny). When I used this at night and slept on it, my hair was perfect in the morning! And it looked perfect by the 3rd day with just a little spray down my part and one more spray 2 inches away from my part on each side (3 lines across the top total). I added some glosser to my hair to give it luster (the dry shampoo can make hair look dull) and to freshen the body of my hair. I probably could have gone longer without washing, but I was worried that the ends of my hair was absorbing food smells and stuff from cooking. The best part about this dry shampoo (besides it works of course) is that it made my hair smell fresh..... even with my smell sensitive nose! It did not smell like dirty hair at all! I get really really crabby with dirty hair (can't stand the gross smell and dirty feel) and this made my hair feel, look, and smell like it was clean! The only downfall is that the bottle only lasted 6 times and I have to order it from the internet.

I like the price of this product but it is not comparable to others on the market.... I have waist length hair and dry shampoo saves me on many days... If you wash your hair everyday this product is not for you.... It takes a while to train your hair to not be washed everyday...If you are an every other day or two days... Dry shampoo will let you go an extra day...

this product is really good for your hair the day after washing. it absorbs all the oil, so that you dont have to wash your hair, but it feels like your hair is dirty, but feeling dirty hair is better than visibly greasy hair. its a bit hard to rub in, and sometimes can be a bit visible, even in my blone hair, so i wouldn't recomend it to someone with quite dark hair. i wouldnt use it every day, because it would probably build up as dandruff, and obviously you need to wash your hair:)
also, it was really cheap at less than £2!
i would buy this agagin, untill i find a better alternative

I think dry shampoos are an iffy lot, but this one does a decent job of drying out my "second day" greasy roots and adding a little bit of lift.

It's definitely not a viable replacement for a proper shampooing. In fact, adding stuff to my wilted hair just made it feel dirtier. The fact that Baptiste Original closely resembles a can of spray snow doesn't help, and the white mess it shoots onto your hair is a little frightening. But, after massaging in as directed, it did blend into my light-brown hair fairly well. It soaks up oil, but diminishes shine as well, so you really must limit the product to your roots.

Overall, I have mixed feelings about this product. The price (I paid $5.99) is reasonable, and it gives my fine hair a bit of a boost. However, it feels kind of gross and isn't *that* much less of a hassle than an actual shower, so I don't think I really need this in my life.
