Advantages: Good value, effective.

Disadvantages: Packaging a bit naff, aerosol not environmentally friendly.

After reading quite a few favourable reviews on this product, I decided to give it a try. I have found some real little gems since joining dooyoo and taking the recommendations of other members and I think it's one of the best aspects of being a member.

I bought the pink can (called Bastiste Blush) from Superdrug for £1.95. I have also seen it in a supermarket and think it's quite widely available.

So, my hair wasn't great this morning and I would have washed it if it were not for my Batiste experiment. Instead, I did as the can says. Shake can vigourously, spray from approx 30cm lightly and evenly onto hair, massage in and brush out.

**What I liked about the product

Well, the smell was good (I bought the Pink can called "Blush"), I think some comments on the other fragrances have been a bit negative but this one is fine.

It was easy to use and much, much quicker than washing and blowdrying.

The effect was good, it definitely made a difference, livened up my lanky locks a bit and left them looking neat and clean. I don't think it makes my hair look freshly washed but it definitely improved the look.

You don't really need much - even if you've got long hair as you only spray the roots. The can should last quite some time.

** What I didn't like

Nothing major, it's a good value product which delivers what it claims to do.

I suppose if I was being picky, the packaging is a bit naff. It reminds me of cheap 1980's hairspray brands. But who really cares about that?

Also, it is an aerosol which isn't the most enviro-friendly and I guess there is an argument that you are spraying chemicals onto your hair. As I use all manner of potions and sprays it would be hypocritical of me to say that this is an issue for me, but it is a consideration for some people.

I shall definitely be continuing with this time saving "bad hair day" beater.

Summary: Great little time saver.
