Advantages: SAVES TIME, PREVENTS HEAT DAMAGE

Disadvantages: NOTHING

There's no doubt about it, dry shampoo has become a very popular product in the past few years and due to this many brands are selling their own branded shampoo.

Competition is high, as so many people are buying them, apparently boots are selling 45% more dry shampoo than they've ever sold.
I purchased my Batiste dry shampoo for only 99p, this dry shampoo can be bought in supermarkets, boots, Superdrug and sometimes even the corner shop.

Packaging
There are five types of batiste dry shampoo available and each one has unique colours.
I have purchased the "Original batiste dry shampoo" which includes the shade green yellow and turquoise and also the "Tropical" which is yellow and green with yellow, red and orange logo.
The tropical batiste dry shampoo has a summery kind of scent, which is great to take on holiday or use in the summer time.
Original batiste dry shampoo smells like really tangy sweets (I prefer the original batiste dry shampoo personally)
You can buy batiste dry shampoo in 150ml and 50ml cans, 50ml cans are perfect to put in your handbag so you can use it throughout the day.


So what is dry shampoo? And what makes it so different to normal shampoo?
In the late 1960's many women used talc on their hair, talc powder is a really easy way to remove grease or moisture from your hair this meant women could spend less time washing their hair instead they just added talc to their hair and rubbed it until you could no longer see the powder.
Now there are products called dry shampoo which are talc based but have other properties they now contain refreshing and volumising agents, and work by mopping up excess grease from the roots and scalp.
So fundamentally, dry shampoo the reason dry shampoo is different to normal shampoo is because you don't use water to clean your hair you're simply spraying the product on your hair and then rubbing it in until there's no dry shampoo visible.


Why dry shampoo helps hair
So many people use heat products: hair dryers, hair strengtheners, tongs etc after they've washed their hair.
Heat causes damage to your hair and causes hair to split (split ends) so by using dry shampoo it means you no longer need to wash your hair every day, you can now skip a wash and therefore there's no need to dry your hair because you haven't washed it in water or even used other heat appliances depending on your preferences.

Applying
Spray the dry shampoo about 30cm from your hair then use your finger tips to massage the dry shampoo into your roots until there's no residue left, you can use a comb instead of finger tips if you like.
In conclusion, dry shampoo can help reduce damage to hair and also it saves you a lot of time and effort getting ready.

Summary: GREAT
