Batiste Dry Shampoo

The very kind people at Batiste sent me a couple of their new products to review. Batiste is the UK's No 1 best seller when it comes to dry shampoo and I can see why. They have a brilliant range of products available and at a very affordable price. It has been around for 40 years and as  the popularity grows it will definitely be around for a long time yet. The two I got sent are from the Revitalise It range and cost £2.99 each

Floral - I love the ditsy floral print on the tin, it's so summery and would be easily found if thrown into your handbag. The print has been inspired by pretty English gardens and vintage textiles. This has a light fragrance with top notes of Blossom, Melon, Orange and Peach with floral base notes of Rose, Muguet and Violet.  This is a nice clean scent, it is light and fresh and not overpowering at all.

Oriental - This has a lovely oriental print in my favourite colours so this was my instant favourite before I even tried them out. The print has been inspired by traditional costumes from the far east as the autumn/winter catwalks have been heavily influenced by the East and the oriental design will be everywhere this season. This has a delicate fragrance with top notes of Apple, Wild Berry and Grape, middle notes of Jasmine and Iris and base notes of Coconut, Sandalwood and Cedar. This has a light fruity scent and you can definitely smell the apple and berry coming through.

Out of the two of them Oriental is my favourite, the smell is so fruity but not overpowering at all. The scent is yummy and as I love fruity smells I kept spraying it the day I received it because I fell in love with it straight away. I will definitely be repurchasing it when it is finished. Batiste has such a range of different scents out in the shops to buy there is something for everyone. I would also recommend their cherry one; it smells so good. They also have a range for different hair colours which is great as some dry shampoos leave a powdery residue on darker hair colours. Batiste really do have everything covered with their products.

As a girl who has very fine hair and should really be washing it every day I swear by Batiste dry shampoo, it gives me the extra day out of my hair as washing your hair every day can be bad for it. I have also used it two days in a row as I haven't hadn't had enough time in the morning to wash my hair and it looks fine.

Dry shampoo is the easiest thing to use; before use shake the tin then hold it about 30cm away from your head (who measures these things) and spray it on to your roots lifting different sections each time. Rub it through with your fingertips and if needed brush it through.

I was talking to a friend recently and she told me she had only discovered dry shampoo a few months back and I couldn't understand how she'd never known about this miracle product before. She was saying how good it was and how it had changed her life! A lot of people also use it for volume and sometimes I would as its great for padding out the hair and giving it that wee bit of oomph that's needed for styling if your hair is too soft after washing.
