=== An Impulse Bargain Buy === As a consumer I suppose I'm the kind that usually has some kind of list, even if it's in my rather unreliable memory. I'm fairly disciplined about buying what I need and avoiding too many impulse buys, with the possible exception of two areas: books and shampoos. I was doing a quick shop in Lidl's a few weeks ago when I spotted two of these Batiste Dry Shampoos for the price of £1.49 each, which seemed very reasonable. I'd been curious about these for a while, largely through reading reviews on sites like this one. I felt I had nothing much to lose by giving one a try, so I bought the Blush version mainly because I thought the ...  Read the complete review

I used to wash my hair every day, and had no need of dry shampoo. However, I had my hair cut recently and the hairdresser pointed out that my hair was in really bad condition. This wasn't really surprising, as not only did I wash my hair every day, I also dried and straightened it, and coloured it every month or so. I decided that I was going to have to take action, and decided to start washing my hair only every other day. Even then, I didn't start using dry shampoo immediately. My hair is quite dry, and I find that on the second day, it often looks perfectly clean and I just need to style it as usual. However, on the odd occasion, the roots look slightly ...  Read the complete review

I am someone who suffers from really greasy hair and wash it pretty much everyday (don't lecture me about how this bad for me because I'm not going to change!) so I thought this would be a great product to buy, although the first one I tried was the original. The first time I tried it was in the morning when I woke up, which is when my hair is at its most greasiest. I sprayed and massaged it in, I was not too impressed as the white powder showed up alot and it was obvious I had used it (my hair was dark brown at the time). My mum picked up for me instead a can for brunettes which was a little bit more impressive but the effect didn't last for long and my ...  Read the complete review

I was first introduced to this product about a year or so ago and now it is always on my shopping list, I dont know how I managed without it! I was recommended by a friend to give it ago and I have not looked back since. The main aim of this product is to freshen hair and give it a boost. Its great to be used in between washes, or 'forget to wash your hair' (which really means you couldnt be bothered to wash your hair) which I am guilty of! The product comes in an easy to use spray, aerosol type canister similar to a hairspray but a lot smaller. All you need to do is hold the spray about 20cm or so away from your hair and spray on your roots, it ...  Read the complete review

For the last few months I have been trying to leave my hair as long as possible without washing. If you wash your hair too frequently for example every day it removes your hairs natural oils which help to protect and moisture the hair. So instead of washing my hair every other day, I am washing it every 3-4 days. When I first started doing this my hair was becoming greasy quickly, so after recommendations of this product from friends, I headed straight to the shop. -- Some information -- A beauty secret for over 30 years, Batiste Dry Shampoo is a must-have for girls who have more fun things to do than wash their hair!
