Since I’ve discovered dry shampoos, I’ve
never been without them. I have extremely
oily scalp, some days my hair is greasy the same day I’ve washed it. It’s a real problem, which only gets worse in
the warmer months. I’ve always relied on
Batiste to sort me out.
I wanted to try some other dry shampoos
out for comparison purposes. Today I
bring you my verdict. First up, Dove Hair Therapy Refresh + Care Dry Shampoo, £4.59, I was really keen
to try this out as I like Dove’s hair care products. The product smells nice and fresh and isn’t
overpowering. It does leave a white
powder residue but it’s not extreme. You
can massage it into your hair so you can’t see it as much. However it didn’t perform as well as I had
hoped. You need a lot of product to do the job and even then it doesn’t absorb the
oil as well. And because you’ve used so much product, it weighs your hair
down. You definitely don’t want that
when you have greasy roots to begin with!
Overall I was disappointed with this product, definitely not what I’m
looking for in a dry shampoo.
I then tried the Paul Mitchell ExpressDry Dry Wash Waterless Shampoo, £18.95. This again has a nice subtle scent, and has
the least amount of white powder residue.
I could hardly see any. I think
this’d be great if you don’t have much of a greasy root problem but just want
to refresh your second day hair. For me,
it didn’t absorb a lot of grease from my roots, but I could see that it does
work. However it’s just not as effective
as I need it to be. It’s quite a ‘mild’
product in my opinion. For it to work on
my full head, I’d have to go through the half a can each time. So although a decent product, but not as hard
working as I need my dry shampoo to be.
Last but not least, the newest offering
from my favourite dry shampoo brand, Batiste Heavenly Volume Dry Shampoo, £3.99.
I was attracted to this for two reasons, a) I knew other Batiste dry
shampoos work on me b) greasy hair wants nothing more than some liftin’ at the
roots! It smells quite strong like all
Batiste dry shampoos; I tend to hold my breath and runaway from the spot where
I sprayed! It’s a nice scent but can
feel too much when you’ve sprayed quite a bit all over your hair. It settles within 10 seconds and leaves your
hair feeling really nice. I give it a
couple of minutes after spraying to get working on my greasy roots, and then go
in with my finger tips and work the product into the roots. I found that you don’t need anywhere near as
much product as the others. It really
helps to absorb all the oil from my
roots and even my third day hair (greasy and flat as hell!) looks fresh! It does have quite a bit of white powder
residue so you have to spend a little longer to work the product in, after that
it looks great. This particular version
gives a lot of boost to my roots to really make my hair look fresh. I love this as it’s thorough worker. It does what it says on the tin and does it
well. You don’t have to use much
product, and you won’t be breaking the bank!
