Batiste Dry Shampoo

[AbsOfCroissant]

I'm in love.

I have crapola very fine hair which looks like I've been dipping it in grease after about 2 days without washing. However, I decided to try out Batiste (handbag sized, I normally use Klorane) and used it on Sat morning. My hair was still looking good and clean this morning, after a weekend of hard-core housework. AMAZING.

[this is not an advert, just in case anyone thinks it is. I just thought I'd wax lyrical about the stuff]

AND ... my hair is really soft today (I had to wash and style it, important meeting), but I don't know if that's also down to the Batiste.

yes it's great.Makes my head itchy though.

Makes my hair grey. Unless anyone has any ideas I think I have wasted my money!!!!

You are meant to brush it out!

fayeso, you can now get specail ones for black hair and brunettes....that might help you. I dont brush mine out cos brushing makes my hair frizzy, but rubbing it in to the scalp enough gets rid of the grey.

Yes, I rub it into my scalp and that takes out the grey residue. I wouldn't be without my Batiste, it's a miracle in a can

Where do you get it? How much?

I spent 10 minutes laughing my ass off yesterday at photos posted on facebook my a very vain acquaintance on a night out.

In every single picture she's duckfacing and pouting without realising the entire top of her head is grey like she's just been through the Ghost Train and got caught in the cobwebs. Someone actually commented on her going ott with the baptiste.

I won't be buying. Would rather just wash my hair properly than try to cover up the grease.

I love the stuff - it enables to me to be even more rubbish about washing my hair than I am normally.

However, I am blonde-ish so maybe that helps. I would never use it for a night out though.

I only started using it in the last week or so, got the one for black hair and its fab. Just means I can wash my hair every third rather than every other day and still look ok. Very time saving.

There's a james brown one which is more ££ but not as grey as Batiste

Ojon do a good one too but think it is pricey

Do the black and brown ones not stain your scalp/fingers though? I usually use a Trevor Sorbie hair extender freshener whatsit as I only wash my hair every other day or else it's just a big frizzy mess, but I think it must be discontinued as I can't find it anywhere and am just about to run out

I was looking at the Batiste stuff today, but was put off at the thought of it staining.

TheYearOfTheCat -you can get it from Boots and Waitrose also sell it.

mmmwine thanks, I may give it a go.

Thanks, I will look for the one for dark hair-I did try and brush it out, but this then made my hair frizzy and grey!!!, not what you want 20 mins before the school run!!!!

i just use talc, works just as well as batiste IMO

I've just bought some in town, not tried it yet but just wanted to let people know that they sell it for 99p in Savers

wouldn't be without mine...love the smell of the tropical one...ok on my light coloured hair but takes a lot of brushing out of dd's [slattern]
