Dry Shampoo discussion

[pumpkincat210]

I bought one, can't remember the brand, but it was high end. I used it and the next time i went back to use it, it was all gone! No one else had access to it and my husband wouldn't use it.. did this happen to anyone else?

You can get the Batiste at Sally Beauty Supply!! It was about $7.50 per can, but it works.. i'm loving it!

Wow, a HG product which is cheaper in the UK that it is in America

.

To the person who said their's had run out, try vigorously shaking it as mine did that a few times

Someone else said they wanted one for dark hair, my hair is really dark brown and Batiste works a charm, it's super easy to brush it out

 

[MACLovin]

Yup, it's definitely cheaper for you guys

..damn import products! haha

i'm glad i found out about it though, it's still cheaper than the ones at like sephora or ulta. the higher end brands are all around $20-25 or whatever. batiste is definitely worth the $ for what you pay!

I've been using Rockaholic and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! I have long dark brown hair and it gives me so much body at the roots. My hair looks so good on the days I use it. At $AUD32 it's expensive though. I've had 5 uses from the one can so far and maybe I'll get 2 more and that'll be it I say.

I was reading reviews on it on Makeup Alley and people were saying they only get 4 uses out of each can max. I don't know how they're using it but they must be spraying it all over their hair and not just at the roots at the oily bits.

Anywho I love it but want to find a more economical version. Any recommendations from girls who have used Rockaholic and found a better alternative?

I tried it and I am not in-love with it. Wish I as, cuz I love the concept.

 

[MxAxC-_ATTACK]

I haven't tried it, whenever I go in to my supply store they are all sold out!!!

But since I am licensed I can get it for about 6 bucks (U.S) (the rockaholic one)

i'm thinking of getting a dry shampoo for my roots. because my hair is so dry anyway i can't wash it every day and have been leavinbg it every 3 days. hut on the thrid day my roots start looking greasy so maybe dry shampoo on the roots would be the answer!

i'll try and pick up the tropical batiste one from boots tommorow when i'm at work.

I recently got a small size of some dry shampoo from Sephora, Ive been looking for one and figured I would try a small size 1st to see if i liked it. Its by Ojion or something like that idk ??? its a weird name. I just use mine at the roots because my hair cant take washing everyday and blow drying and then straightening or curling. So I get like 3 days with using the spray on the 2nd and 3rd days just at the roots. It really freshens your hair too, I was in a smokey casino and used it later that night and I couldnt smell the smoke in my hair at all ! I hate weird smells in my hair.

anyways YES dry shampoo rocks !!!

How do you work dry shampoo in your hair? I have tried to put powders on my scalp before and it's really not easy, very messy.... do the spray-in dry shampoos work better?

I've never tried the loose powder ones, but yes, i imagine the sprays are much easier to use.

The way I do it is just part it (with a rat tail comb) in numerous sections and hit the roots with a couple quick sprays; like first I'll do a side part from the front all the way back..spray the roots, wait a couple seconds, then work it into the scalp with your fingertips. Then I move a couple inches to the side and make a new part and do the same thing. When I've pretty much done my whole head I rub it in some more - give yourself a scalp massage basically

Then brush your hair, preferably with a natural/boar bristle brush, touch it up with a hairdryer/flat iron if you want, and that's pretty much it!

Hi, dry shampoo comes in a can and you just spray it onto your hair, massage it in a bit and then comb it out, no fuss no muss.

I use the batiste blush dry shampoo and I love them. It really gives volume to your hair as well as take off your greasiness

. I usually buy it from boots for 2 euro (I think.. can't remember the exact price)

so i bought basite tropical today and freaking love it!! it completely soaked up any grease (my 3rd day of not washing) i can see why some darker haired people may not like this because i have blonde hair but i'm getting my highlights done next week - therefore i have brown roots and i could see they looked lighter after i used this. like it left a white tint to the brown. obviously on the blonde hair this is not noticeable in the slightest. so yeah! big thumbs up from me!

I used Ojon dry shampoo in the past and it works okay...I think my hair is just really oily to begin with so maybe thats why it didnt work as well as I wanted it to. BUT it did smell good! I just use baby powder and it actually works better...I think i'm going to go back to dry shampoo and try a different brand because I honesty dont like my head smelling like fresh diapers hehe

 

[swaly]

I honestly can't do dry shampoo. My friend who has fabulous teased-out, spiky hair gets away with it because she's already rocking the slightly matte hair texture and doesn't want shine or sleekness. But I can't stand the feeling of the powder...I've tried baby powder (when I had platinum hair) and my friend's dry shampoo, and maybe I'm just oversensitive but even when the oil's been sucked up, I can still FEEL the weight of the oil + added product in my hair. I have oily roots + fried ends also, but I would rather do a full shampoo every 2 days and coddle my ends with Redken, CHI and aPHogee than walk around feeling like I have all this stuff accumulated in my hair.

When I'm in a bind and have NO time, I just wash my bangs and blow-dry them. I look a thousand times more presentable than if I was stringy/dirty all over, and it's enough to get by at work without feeling gross.

this is a great idea thanks!!

 

[onezumi]

I feel embarrassed...I am not sure where the right forum is to post this...I just put some Bumble and Bumble Hair Powder on ebay for .99. (I just got into a car accident and am trying to raise money) Where should I post it? The auction is here for anyone curious.

It seems the ebay thread is for just MAC and the sale thread is for stores? *confused.*

BTW: I liked the hair powder - but it made my hair too tangly because I don't get very oily. Also I am allergic to BB products.

Otherwise it's good stuff.

I <3 Dry Shampoo. Great thread! I can't wait to try Rockaholic! I currently have Psst! I hate it but its better than no dry shampoo.

 

[SalescoopCaro]

Yes!! I discovered Oscar Blandi a few weeks ago and it is amazing. I hate having to wash and restyle my hair everyday! Not only is it a pain, it isn't good for my already dry hair either! Dry shampoo is the answer.
