A simple spritz wakes up tired hair and also adds texture and volume without the need to waste valuable time under a hot hairdryer.
Alongside their original dry shampoo, Batiste has expanded their range to include some sweeter smelling fragrances like roses, cherry or tropical.
And gone are the days of having a chalky white shadow on your hair – the most obvious giveaway that you skipped a proper shampoo – because their Hint of Colour products blend seamlessly into your hair whatever your colour.
But there are some helpful tips to make sure youre getting the most out of your dry shampoo – and believe it or not, there is more to it than simply spray and go.
The best way to get the full advantages of dry shampoo is to spritz it into hair in sections about two inches apart, concentrating on your roots.
Make sure youre holding the nozzle between eight and 10 inches away from your hair and dont spray one area for too long.
Once youve finished, wait a couple of minutes and then massage the product in so it doesnt just sit on top of your hair. Use your fingers and work it through your roots and scalp.
George Northwood, hairstylist to the likes of Alexa Chung and Alicia Vikander, told British Vogue that the key to getting the most from your dry shampoo is to use it straight after youve dried your hair post-wash.
“I use dry shampoo on my clients for prevention, not cure,” he said. “Particularly with finer hair which gets oilier more quickly, spritzing it onto a newly blow-dried style will amp up volume and make your hair last longer between washes too.”
