Dry Shampoo

[bobthedragqueen]

Aldi used to do a fantastic one and typical of Aldi, discontinued it

I use one from Lidl that I find very good. I can't remember exactly how much it is, but it's cheap, around £1.50 maybe. I prefer 'California Breeze'.

I don't like Batiste or Colab at all.

Aldi have recently started doing a dry shampoo again and it’s branding is just like Batiste. It’s bloody good, too!

The Lee Stafford one is my absolute favourite.

They also do a travel size which is super handy!

I read something interesting on the EffinHair account on insta. She said that if you get oily roots, you should spray a bit of dry shampoo in the night that you’ve washed your hair. I think she said it’s because it then prevents your hair from getting oily, rather than using it when your hair is already oily and just trying to cover it up.

My hair is quite flat too so I might give this a go. I use baptiste too but same as you, I find it leaves a coating on my skin!

I do this and it really works. If I wait til my hair is already greasy then I need to use loads and it's not as effective. Batiste is the best brand I have tried.

@Keikochan black violet! It literally smells like Parma violets, so divine! That’s the one that didn’t absorb the oils my hair though.

Can’t wait to get to Tesco now and try girlz only now!

I might also give living proof a go when look fantastic have an offer on!

I keep looking at opalex but never know what to get... do you think it’s worth the money then?

Olaplex is definitely worth it if you have damaged hair. I have bleached hair and it definitely feels and looks in much better condition since using it. It does however, make my hair really heavy and greasy. But Obviously I’m prone to oily hair anyway (hence this thread )

Apologies for the not so exciting thread but I’m after dry shampoo recommendations!

As somebody with very oily roots, dry shampoo is a big part of my life. But I’ve never found the right one!!

what I’ve used so far:

Batiste- this is the most effective for me but it makes my scalp itch like crazy and leaves a powdery cast on my skin. Even when I wash it off I’m left feeling like it’s on my hands all day.

Co Lab- I thought I’d found my holy grail with this but I was noticing I needed to use ALOT before it made a difference to my hair. I also (stupidly) flat ironed my hair the day after using co lab and it burnt my hair. My fault but I now can’t bring myself to use it again

Superdrug own brand- picked this up on a whim and it was like hairspray, totally glued my hair together and I couldn’t get my fingers through to rub it in!

Herbal Essence- this was on clearance so I don’t think they make it anymore but I had the same experience as above.

Label M- was coerced into buying this at my hairdressers, I think I remember liking it but used it up really quickly.

Tresemme foam dry shampoo- do they still make this? Does anyone remember it? You put wet mousse foam in your greasy hair and it leaves it sodden with product and worse than before

eager to hear what product I’m missing out on!

Batiste is my go to and I use it sparingly because otherwise it sits on your scalp and gets on your hands. I picked up a Boots own brand a few weeks back and it’s pretty decent to be fair but only comes in the silly small tins

I tried talc but it made my hair static

Talc end a tumble dry sheet.

I love the Soap + Glory one, smells lovely too

I just use talc... seems to work??

I find the Batiste one in Oriental is nice. The cherry 1 smells nice and I think it's OK but I've heard others say it isn't good.

I really like the Colab one in Violet something (can't remember the name but it's something violet). It smells great and really does make my hair feel clean.

I love the smell of the Lee Stafford CocoLoco! Coconut is my absolute fav scent!!!!! It doesn't make my hair feel all that clean though.

I really like Phil Smith dry shampoo that I get from Sainsbury’s

Oh, thank you. I'll have a look when I'm in next week

Beautyworks dry shampoo is really good. It's not cheap though!

 

[WhatABore]

This thread is useful for me I rely on dry shampoo as my hair gets greasy hours after washing it!

I've stuck to Bastiste because it's the only one I know that works. I've tried supermarket own brand ones and they just didn't work. So I'm skeptical to try other brands!

Living Proof, 100%. Pricey but worth it. Percy and Reed do an ‘invisible’ one, so no powdery finish. It is good. But it’s no LP

 

[JoeBloggs]

I do love the living proof one but the price is too much. I’ve found using olplex shampoo and not putting serum in really helps. I was a daily/every other day washer for years and now I’m twice a week. I also dry shampoo at night and brush my hair to comb the oil away from the roots.

I have been using he bastelle brunett and it’s good so I’m interested to try this Tesco one!

Talc. Romeo done.

I tried talc but it made my hair static

Another vote for living proof.

I stock up when Marks and Spencer have a hair and beauty offer on
