Batiste6.73 fl oz Dry Shampoo by Batiste Original

I've been hunting for the perfect dry shampoo for a very long time now. I've tried an easy half dozen, more I'm sure. To date this is by far my favorite. I had found one other that I loved, my hair felt great, looked reat, and it lasted all day -- However the whole day I left white fingerprints all over everything. Black pants anyone? No. After I found that I kept trying to find something else that worked so well and didn't leave the fingerprints behind. Some made my hair sticky, some made my hair stiff, some just didn't seem to do anything. This Batiste is perfect. It does all of the things you would want, your hair looks as if you've washed it that morning. Your hair still FEELS like hair, it's very touchable. I have dark auburn hair and you can't see any residue in my hair at all. There's no strong scent that comes along with the product either. I can spray this in my hair in the morning, go to work all day, go out for drinks after, not get home until late, and my hair still looks oil free. Also, unlike some of the others I've tried, I don't have to be terribly careful with the usage either. If I accidentally spray too much, meh, that's ok.; It's always worked into my hair just fine. I spray it in all the roots and all over the top of my head lightly, then go about my business getting ready. after some time I rub my scalp with my fingers, then leave it alone again. Sometimes 2 minutes go by, sometimes 10, it doesn't seem to matter. Then after some more time passes I rub it into my scalp with my fingers again. then right before I get dressed I run a brush through my hair. Perfect results every time. The best part is, I can use it several days in a row (3 to 4 with no problems) and it works great day after day with no washing in between. (I also have no problems using a flat iron after I've worked it into my hair). When I do wash my hair, it washes out with no problems. I don't have to rinse and repeat, I don't have buildup left behind, It just washes out like nothing, not effecting the lather of my shampoo at all.All around great product that I would recommend to anyone with a more oily scalp

TL:DR Lightest starch (rice), most effective oil soaking, disappears well, texture is good, my hair doesn't feel dry, stiff and rough to the touch.I have vividly coloured hair (aka party coloured, aka creatively coloured). For the blues and purples I love shampoo doesn't work well. It fades those shades REALLY quickly. Note: ALL the red based colours, party or natural, have the same issue. What's the solution?Dry shampoo.I've tried, at this point, seven kinds, including this one. One of those was even homemade arrowroot powder based. Overwhelmingly, I had texture problems. The starch would leave behind a dry, stiff feeling. No pliability to my hair. Now shine. I get that the texture added can be helpful, but I'm an air dry, hair down person. My hair was stiff, looked weird and STILL HAD A GREASY LOOK TO IT. This is after trying more, less, far away, close, waiting for ten minutes for the starch yo do its job, brushing like crazy. It wasn't great.I ended up buying Pureology Hydrate Shine Max. I'd apply a little to my hands and smooth over my hair, working into the ends then running my fingers through. It added a little shine, very little, but did absolutely nothing for the texture.I did a Google search and found a lot of blog and magazine posts with level based reviews on dry shampoo. This one was so consistently at or near the top.It works. Really well. It kills that dirty, oily look, my hair isn't rough and dry. It actually feels nice to the touch, and the starch brushes out. The shine is still deadened, but that Pureology I mentioned earlier? It works now.The other dries I tried had aluminum starch, tapioca starch, silica silyate and arrowroot. The Batiste uses rice starch. The carrier formulation isn't different from the others, except the two powder based ones. I just washed my hair today, after five days. I still showered to wash my body. I still washed my face. However, it was just the Batiste Hydrate Shine Max and brushing for my hair. It still smelled great. Looked good. Was touchable. Five days, people!!

Love this dry shampoo but it was poorly packaged. I ordered 3 and all 3 lids were off and the bottles had been sprayed all over in the box during shipment.

I'm lazy and on days when getting up early is out of the question, I use this to refresh my hair before work. It works great and the smell is very pleasant. I have tried other and the smell makes me sick.
