Batiste Dry Shampoo: Review

September 18, 2012

I was super excited to try out this dry shampoo, particularly because Batiste is a line of dry shampoos that I had heard so many excellent things about but I had yet to try anything by them. Having thin, lifeless hair that easily looks oily when not washed for a day, I’m always in the market for that holy grail dry shampoo. I’ll try anything once, and sometimes you find one that just sticks. I have to say, Batiste will be hanging out in my hair care routine for quite some time. “Batiste Dry Shampoo is ideal for creating body you crave, while ditching the dirt, oil and grease as it freshens hair in minutes and brings life back to dull, lifeless hair! Simply spray lightly and evenly, massage through with your fingertips, brush out, and voila, strikingly revitalized hair!”   Batiste is available in four amazing scents: Original, Blush, Fresh and Tropical, to tantalize the senses. Original is clean and fresh, while Blush adds a hint of floral tones with notes of red hibiscus, peony, tuberose and lily for those craving a flirtier aroma; Fresh is a unisex scent inspired by the rainforest that has invigorating floral scents and wood musk and sandalwood base notes; and Tropical is ideal for those who desire the exotic coconut aromas of the Caribbean. As a former tanning lotion addict, I tend to gravitate towards anything that smells “tropical” so that is the scent I chose to try out from the four. 

What they say…

  • Creates volume 
  • Masks dirt and grease 
  • Freshens and brings hair back to life 
What I say…
  • Awesome scent 
  • Completely hides that greasy and unwashed look 
  • Easy to use 
  • No build up 
  • Adds volume 
The Verdict…
I’ll share a little bit about my hair care routine so you all can see when I am using the product and the positive effect that it has on my hair. I have very thin, lifeless, over-processed and very damaged hair. I try to only wash it every three days. This is a tough task and would be absolutely impossible without some form of dry shampoo because after just one day my hair gets very oily looking and lacks any type of healthy shine or volume. I have started using Batiste in between washes when styling my hair on “unwashed” days and let me just tell you, it ranks high on my “likes” list. I have found with *most* dry shampoos that they work against me by leaving and extra build up after application and Batiste just doesn’t do that. It also got brownie points because it lays on my hair clear rather then looking white or grey when I spray it on. Hands down though, my absolute favorite part of this product is the scent! I spray it on and the lovely tropical scent stays with me all day. This is definitely something I would repurchase!
 
You can purchase full size bottles of one of the four scents for $7.99 or the “on the go” size for $3.99 HERE.

    I’ve heard of this, but I’ve never brought it. My sister has the Primark one, but I don’t think it works, might be because it’s cheap though!!

    I’m obsessed with this stuff! It comes in brown and it’s cheap and it doesn’t smell. I didn’t know they had travel size. I’m on my way to buy!

    I think I really need some of this in my life! My hair is fine and I try to wash it every 2 or so days too.

    I should really give this one a try.
    I tried the pssst and hated it. IT did NOTHING for my hair…still hard to work with, still flat and dull and bleh.
    So many people LOVE dry shampoos and I WANT a dry shampoo that will work, so you may have sold me! 🙂

“The black and white photo challenge started as “The black and white photo challenge started as a way for women to raise their voice. To stand in solidarity with the women we have lost.

A total of 87,000 women were intentionally killed in 2017. More than half of them (58 per cent) ̶ 50,000 ̶ were killed by intimate partners or family members, meaning that 137 women across the world are killed by a member of their own family every day. More than a third (30,000) of the women intentionally killed in 2017 were killed by their current or former intimate partner ̶ someone they would normally expect to trust.⁣

🔟 Creating this community has been one of my favorite things about life. What will you find here?! Easy beauty tips and tutorials, attainable fashion, endless Amazon finds, but also the UNCOMFORTABLE stuff: pap smears, depression, anxiety, the effects my husbands addiction had on our marriage, eating disorders, struggles with fertility, body acceptance, and being comfortable in your own skin. I try to keep it as real as humanly possible. Being so vulnerable all of the time isn’t the easiest thing but if it helps just one person feel less alone, I’m good! ⠀⁣

Loving an addict is one of if not the hardest thin Loving an addict is one of if not the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. ⁣
⁣
We’re about two hit two years since Jim entered rehab and I’m forever proud of the changes he made and the man he has become⁣
⁣
For the person reading this who loves an addict. It’s changed you, I know. It made you a little harder to reach. It made getting out a bed a little rough. It’s isolated you from groups of friends. Your hearts a little more closed off then it once was. Your trust is a little bit broken. You’ve felt more alone then you ever have. You’ve felt judged. You’ve felt betrayed. You’ve felt at fault.⁣
⁣
Whether you’re past it or still in the trenches. I want you to know some things. ⁣
⁣
I need you to know that it’s not your fault. I need you to know that you could not have done anything differently. I need you to know that you can’t cure it. You didn’t cause it. And you can’t control it. ⁣
⁣
Most of all I need you to know that it gets better. I need you to know that it’s ok to feel happiness again. It’s ok to put yourself first. It’s ok to take care of your. ⁣
⁣
And you’re not alone. ⁣
⁣
I promise you that there’s a light on this side of the tunnel just waiting for you to walk through. And that light doesn’t mean it’s over, it’s just there to guide you. Because every day could be a battle. ⁣
⁣
I stayed for the battle. But that’s not the only way. If you need to leave that’s okay too. Either way. You have to get to that light. ⁣
⁣
Don’t be afraid to reach out for help. Go to a meeting yourself. Grab a book (Co-Dependent No More, was helpful for me) listen to a podcast. Get yourself a village. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF⁣
