Dry shampoo is great if you need to make your hair last an extra day. You have to spray on, work in and brush out after a cuple of minutes. It really is a great quick fix once you are used to applying it. Batiste is the old original, but still the best. Available in the UK in most supermarkets. Haven't seen it here. Toni & Guy do one here, but not as good as Batiste, in my oponion.

They sell one at Boots which is very affordable and fairly good for emergencies (only). But if serves the purpose quite well.

Batiste is great. Very good if for e.g. you're going out straight after work and just need to perk up your hair a bit. For those who got the grey look - you're supposed to spray it in then brush it out, not leave it! :) The only one I've seen here is Boots own brand and it's rubbish unfortunately

I used to use the Klorane dry shampoo - very mild and good, but cant find it in Dubai. Have not seen any of dry shampoos here? Where to buy it?

I thought that was something mainly used in hospitals when you have to wash your hair but not allowed to shower.

I find my hair itches when I go to bed after I have used it for an emergency. Not a top ten product for me.

People who suffer from very greasy hair tend to use dry shampoo to extend the time between shampooing their hair, it is a bit like talcum powder. I remember trying it in my teens and looking like I was going prematurely grey! Hehehe... The first time I used it I ended up grey too. Lol. It's a lifesaver for those with children/newborn babies. But it'll never be one of my must-have products. I like to FEEL clean. I also found it used to make my face feel dirty/greasy. Probably all in my mind though. Lol

It's for those mornings when you wake up late or the children are under your feet and there's no chance of a shower and your hair needs a wash. Simply spray it on your hair and you're good to go. It's great but nothing like the real thing. It's basically the same as putting baby powder inthe roots to spruce oily/dirty hair up. Just more handy in and aerosol.
