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

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!!

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.

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.

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 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!

I really do love the product, it cleans your hair without leaving a white residue. However the most recent bottle they sent shoots out a clear spray and does not clean the hair. In fact, it leaves it more oily. I’m pretty sure this was a fluke, because I have bought this same product several times and never had this issue.

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.

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.

Me encanta este producto, lo he comprado ya varias veces y seguiré comprándolo. He probado otras marcas pero no me convence ninguna. Deja un aroma muy agradable y no deja residuo. Tiene varias medidas y hay una medida muy pequeñita para llevártelo en el bolso a todas partes. Súper práctico!! Se ha vuelto un imprescindible en mi día a día porque gracias a este champú en seco no tengo que lavarme el pelo tan a menudo. Lo recomiendo 100%!!

📦 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!
