Even when my locks are freshly washed, I like to use Dry Shampoo to style it. I just find it adds a little grit and texture to my hair making it easier to style, and hold it's volume. Also, I find that my hair gets oily quickly these days, and 24 hours after washing, I need a little dry shampoo to perk up my roots. That being said, I'm pretty picky in terms of what I use, so I thought I'd give you a rundown of the dry shampoos in my stocks at the moment. I have a fair bit, but I use it so much that I get through them pretty damn quick, so I like to stock up when they're on offer.
First up is a newbie to the ranks, the Lee Stafford Original Dry Shampoo for Oily Roots*. This is one I've been reaching for for day old hair as opposed to freshly washed hair, since it's one of the most cleansing in the stash. I like this because it makes hair feel clean, without feeling dry, a winning combination in my books.
The current favourite is the Dove Hair Therapy Refresh + Care Dry Shampoo, a shampoo that doesn't leave a white cast, and makes your hair feel freshly washed, no grit, no powder, no dryness, just clean and soft locks.
I picked up the Girls Only Dawn Til Dusk Dry Shampoo in an emergency root cleansing situation, but I actually really like it. It makes my hair look clean, but also really bumps up the volume in my roots. You can however feel it in your hair, and by the end of the day it does get a little itchy.
The Tresemme Instant Refresh Volumising Dry Shampoo comes a close second to Dove's offering. Cleanses your hair without leaving a white cast, but because it can leave a bit of a gritty finish, it's good for texture and volume. Doesn't leave your hair feeling as clean as Dove's, but it's great for styling.
I have a few cans of Batiste Dry Shampoo* on the go, Cherry*, Dark Brunette*, the Original* and this one Tropical*. I find Batiste Dry shampoos to be much of the same, they make your hair look clean but not really feel clean, and they add good volume, but that's because they leave quite a heavy residue in your hair. I use this stuff, but it's definitely not my favourite, and to be honest, I'm not sure I'd repurchase any of them. It's worth mentioning that I loved these until I discovered the others.
What is your favourite dry shampoo? Which should I try next?
KMS Hair Play Makeover is SO SO SO GOOD.It smells pretty nice and doesn't make your hair turn gray and it's really nice to use as a texturising spray if you have hair that tends to be a bit limp (like mine). I got a sample in my Birchbox and purchased a full bottle straight after it ran out.
ReplyDeleteI've been stuck in a Batiste rut but I need to give that Dove one a go, it sounds lovely! xfiveonecouture.blogspot.co.uk
ReplyDeleteInteresting, I tried the Batiste which I absolutely adore and it works wonders on my hair and the Lee Stafford which I hate with a passion, since it made my roots even more oily and my scalp crazy itchy and irritated :) Would love to try the Dove one though :)sparklewithlaughter.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI used to have a can of Batiste, but I went off it pretty quickly because it made my hair feel insanely greasy and gross. I gave it my sister and she seems to like it, but I think if I'd try another one, I'd probably go for the Dove one. Amy :-)http://beautyfalconer.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI didn't realise there were so many on the market! Never even knew that Dove did one but it sounds great, think I'll be getting this one!
ReplyDeleteOoooh I'll definitely take a look at that!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the advice!
ReplyDeleteI'm running low too! I'll have to keep an eye out for that! x
ReplyDeleteYeah, I loved batiste until I tried this, now I can't stand it! x
ReplyDeleteHow strange! The dove one is incredible!
ReplyDeleteThe dove one appears to be really popular, it is really good! x
ReplyDeleteThere's loads once you start looking! You should it's awesome!
ReplyDeleteI'm taking a peek from twitter, and I was literally just thinking that I'm quite bored of my current Dry Shampoo and I should try something new as your page was loading and then this came up! DOVE it is! :P
ReplyDeleteGlad I could help! Dove is amazing :)
ReplyDeleteI've never been one to use dry shampoo, but I've been interested in giving the Dove one a try after hearing so many incredible things about it!xxCelina | The Celution | Bloglovin
ReplyDeleteIt's really as good as everyone says! xx
ReplyDeleteYou loved Batiste until you discovered new ones? ;-;Well dang, I better dig deeper into this ~mysterious world of dry shampoos~ (IS THAT WHY YOUR HAIR IS SO BIG? BECAUSE IT'S FULL OF SECRETS?)Tresemme. Dove. Into my cart. This weekend. Vanessa | Citron and Guavaberry | Makeup & Silly things
ReplyDeleteYeah it's worth giving them a go, they are really handy! xx
ReplyDeleteOh yup! Hahahaaa Mean Girls 4evs.
ReplyDeleteI use Oribe Texturing Spray... and it's great but I have trouble getting used to not washing my hair everyday. My hair, my head, even my face just feels so unclean if I don't wash exactly every 24 hrs! On the days that I'm supposed to skip the wash I grumble and dread it... I'll try your Dove recommendation since you say it actually makes the hair feel clean :)QuinnDesgettier.com
ReplyDeleteI love the Oribe one but it's just SO expensive! For making your hair feel clean Dove is definitely the best! x
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see someone that isn't over the moon with the Batiste one! I still have one can and I might repurchase, but it's not my favourite at all! My favourite is the Klorane one, but it's expensive. Dove is the second one, but I find the smell too overpowering!
ReplyDeleteI don't really notice the smell of the dove one! It's a shame Klorane is so expensive because it really is good!
