I use a lot of dry shampoo as my hair gets greasy the following day after washing it but I tend to use batiste. I’ve recently read that there was proof that it contained benzene which is apparently a cancer causing chemical.
I want to change to something else but which ones are deemed safe? I’ve seen georgiamane advertised as safe but it’s about £17 a bottle 😬
Any other recommedations?
AIBU?
To ask about dry shampoo? Batiste?

Washing your hair daily would fix the problem.

I’m actually very interested in this. I have been using batiste every day for years (sometimes multiple times a day). I have a full fringe and due to the texture of my hair, if I don’t use it (even if fresh out of the shower), my fringe looks stringy and greasy. So the dry shampoo has been a lifesaver for me. But I wasn’t aware or looked into the ingredients which is a shame. But the thing is, so many things cause cancer. I think if we limited everything that ‘possibly’ can cause cancer, we wouldn’t be able to use or eat anything.

Talc is good, and you can get fragranced if you want a scent (I use lavender, but wear a lavender perfume)

You can use bicarbonate or soda to do the same thing but it's not fragranced.
