Dry Shampoo – Review of some of the most popular brands

2014-10-07 15.17.23
One of the most life changing products I have started using regularly over the past two to three years would have to be dry shampoo.  Every single day (even on days I wash my hair) I use this magical spray to give my hair a little extra “oomph” or to sop up some of the oil on my head.

I have super thin, unruly hair that will not grow past my shoulders.  I hate it and am so grateful to hair extensions and dry shampoo for giving me the opportunity to not have to wash my thin mane daily.  Not only does this cut down on my get ready time drastically, but it also is better for the overall health of my hair in general.

I have been collecting “empties” (products that are all used up) to discuss whether or not I like them and if I would purchase them again.  As you can see from the image I had quite the collections and here is my take on several of the most popular dry shampoos out there:
1. Pantene Dry Shampoo: This shampoo is pretty good.  There is a pronounced scent which I really like, however if you are sensitive to scents I would pass this one up.  I will definitely repurchase this item due to the price, ease of getting it and most importantly it does a really good job on my hair.  The one con with this is I find that the ends of my hair seem drier with this product than with others.
2. Eva NYC Dry Shampoo: This is my favorite of all dry shampoos shown here.  At $11.99 a bottle, this is a relatively good value and really does a good job of freshening up dirty hair while not weighing it down.
3. Redken Pillow Proof 2-day Extender:  I actually liked this dry shampoo, however I seemed to run out of this stuff sooner than any of the other dry shampoos.  In terms of quality I think it is comparable to the Eva NYC, but I will not repurchase due to how fast this ran out.
4. Batiste for Blonds:HATED this stuff.  The blond that came out was reminiscent of a lemon – not blond hair.  I would not recommend this one at all.
5. Batiste: Original Formula: I thought this was pretty good although this product did seem to weigh my hair down more than the Eva NYC and the Pantene product.   For that reason I will not repurchase.
6. Victoria’s Secret Fresh Body Dry Shampoo: This product has a really strong, girly scent which I loved.  If you are in any way sensitive to fragrance I would not recommend this item.  As for the actual dry shampoo I found this to be just OK.  The bottle didn’t last long and it weighed my hair down similarly to the Batiste.  This wasn’t cheap and for these reasons I will not be repurchasing.
7. PSSSSST…Dry Shampoo: So this item is not pictured, however I wanted to talk about this item as well.  I found that the smell on this shampoo didn’t bother me, however more than any of the other shampoos referenced in this post this one weighed my hair down the most.  Whenever using this I always was forced to wash my hair the following day.  In addition the white cast that PSSSST left was the worst of all these.  In a nutshell, would not repurchase.

Sooooo…do you have any dry shampoos that you like?  I would love to hear your thoughts!
