I am a MASSIVE dry shampoo fan! (Isn't everyone?)
As I have such fine hair, it has come to be my daily hair saviour & without it I would probably have to wash my hair every single day. That would be a bummer for sure & a big old waste of time. I love love love Batiste dry shampoo & always make sure I'm well stocked up, so when I noticed they were on a 3 for 2 offer in Superdrug I decided to grab my usual scents & also try out the 'Big & Bouncy XXL Volume' version. Well....it is a horrible disappointment. As soon as I sprayed it on to my hair it turned into a big tangly mess - I couldn't even brush it through. My hair was left feeling absolutely disgusting; a bit like straw. It was knotty, matted & it didn't even make it feel refreshed & clean which is the whole point of using it - I couldn't wait to get home from work all day in order to wash it all out!
Perhaps if you're going for the backcombed, big hair look it might work - I really couldn't say. All I know is I'm not going to be touching this product again. I hate it, sorry Batiste.
Rather than dumping it in the bin, I was wondering if anyone else would like to test it out? Who knows, it may work better for different hair types. If you'd like me to send it to you, just comment on this post with your email address. I'll get it touch with the first person that asks. :]
Have you tried this product? What did YOU think?
That's such a shame it was such a disappointment! Like you I'm a big fan of Batiste and this is probably one of the only ones I havent tried yet. If you're still up for sending it to someone to try I would love to give it a go :)
