Advantages: Quick, very easy to use, great smell, extremely refreshing, good value for money

Disadvantages: Sounds like a fire extinguisher when applied!

I first came across this little gem when my Nan was in hospital. She was too poorly to wash her hair properly but wanted to feel fresher, so I did a little investigation and found Batiste Tropical Dry Shampoo at under £2.00 a can.

The shampoo is in a brightly coloured aerosol can, and personally I love the retro feel you get from the design on the pack. Functionally this is a winner too. All that's needed is a little shake of the can and then just point and spray straight on your hair. A very fine white powder comes out, but you can barely see this, especially if you hold the can at arms length away from your head. It does sound a bit like a fire extinguisher going off (gave poor Nan a bit of a shock!), but you soon get used to it. Then once applied, just brush or comb through the hair and you're done!

Nan's hair had visibly improved immediately and smelt lovely, a great quick fix until she was well enough to wash it properly. Afterwards I took it home and have since started using it myself! I have dry curly hair but it can turn greasy when I straighten it, and I have been told in the past not to wash my hair every day. This has been a brilliant product for me to use in between washes and instantly de-greases my hair. It also seems to give it more bounce and volume so I would recommend it for people with fine hair too.

I haven't been to a festival for a couple of years but I really wish I had discovered it then, it would have made for a much cleaner experience! Highly recommended for girls (and guys) on the go, festivals, campers, and for people in hospital.

Summary: Great for on the go-ers, camping holidays, festivals and hospitals!
