Batiste Dry Shampoo, Tropical, 6.73 Ounce (Packaging May Vary)

This is the greatest thing since sliced bread. I have health issues which render me easily tired. Therefore, it is an ordeal for me to wash and style my hair frequently. I had heard of dry shampoo many years ago and forgot about it until recently when I was browsing the web. I decided to try Batiste because it consistently received the best reviews. I love this product. It's taken very little trial and error for me to determine how best to apply it. I first purchased the Batiste clean & classic original variety. After the first application it was clear to me that I would never spray it indoors again. The aerosol and the odor were overwhelming to me. I aired out my bathroom and asked my husband what my hair smelled like. He said the fragrance, once in the hair, is barely detectable unless one is up close and deliberately trying to smell the hair. To me, the odor of the clean & classic original is reminiscent of a cross between laundry detergent (that generic "clean" scent that we've been programmed to recognize) and baby powder - not things I want to smell like. Mercifully, only my bathroom smelled like that after application rather than my hair. So, since that first time, I apply the product while standing outside on the balcony. This is an enormous improvement. I later ordered the Batiste Tropical which smells like coconut which is more pleasant to my senses. The aerosol application is strong, so you'll need to hold the can about a foot (30cm) from the head to apply. Do not over-apply the product. A little goes a long way. You can always apply more, but if you first apply too much, you will get a build up of white powder which will be difficult to remove without washing your hair with water. I apply the product in about eight sections: bangs, either side of face, and then a few shots at the crown and back. You'll only need to depress the pump for a second to get a good blast of product. Massage the product into the scalp with the fingertips and then brush through. I've found that brushing my hair upside down is the best way to distribute the product and also to allow any excess to fall away. I can brush through my hair with the product as easily as I would without - it doesn't make my hair sticky or tangled. Clean your brush of hair and then rinse after each brushing as you will see a buildup of white powder on the brush. (You don't want to brush your hair with a brush full of old, oil saturated power!) Since I've been using Batiste dry shampoo, I've been washing my hair once per week and my hair looks full and clean throughout the week. I've attached a photo of my hair after five days without washing, only using Batiste dry shampoo. (I have a bit of grey in my hair - not to be mistaken with any product buildup.) This stuff has made my life easier. P.S. I've since tried the cherry scent and I found it to have the least strong odor. It's my new favorite.

I purchased both items for my daughter, and she is very, very pleased with the umbrella and the dry shampoo. We definitely will probably re-order thank you.

I got a small bottle of this in one of those subscription boxes and honestly wouldn't have tried it if I weren't desperate. I thought I hated dry shampoo. I did. I ended up loving this brand and buying more because it really left an impression on me!I have hypothyroidism and have been going to the gym 6 days a week. I noticed a huge impact on my hair (I.e. It's falling out even more and for no reason that I could identify!!!) since my new healthier lifestyle. I wondered if it was the chlorine (I am in the pool those 6 days since our gym pool is amazing and I can't help going into the pool after a workout!!!) but realized that's not the issue... I went a month w/o the pool. No changes. 😭Thankfully between figuring out what's going on through a natural Doctor (I'm stressing my adrenals "duh" and apparently am not absorbing vitamins) I was able to use this dry shampoo to help "literally" fill in the blanks!You do need to make sure you toss your hair around a bit to get it to absorbe into your scalp but it gives you body and if you're a few strands light, it still makes your hair look like it was 10 years younger.Don't believe me? I was (and still am till my new meds kick in) pulling out HANDFULLS of hair each bath. I didn't know my thyroid was this bad, but it is. 😢 This stuff helps lots in the meantime.I have brown hair so bald spots would show. If you look close, you'll see them. :-( Just spray and rub this stuff in your hair and you don't see it as much as normal if hardly at all. If you're a female like me, you might want to figure out why you're losing hair. I've thankfully got answers and am fixing it, but I know it's not as easy for some.Wishing us both luck!! 💋
