How I Apply Dry Shampoo

My hair gets greasy quickly. I know people say that not washing your hair every day can help this, but it didn't work when I tried it. I had a few weeks off and wasn't doing much, so decided to give it a go. After a few weeks, nothing had changed. It may require longer than this, but I'm not doing it again because I refuse to even leave the house with greasy hair. So, although I wash my hair every evening, sometimes it needs some sprucing up in the mornings because I have a habit of playing with it. I don't like dry shampoo sprays because you don't get much product, and half of it ends up in the air. I prefer bottles, and am currently using Lush's Vanilla Puff Dusting Powder. After I've run out of this, I'm just going to refill it with cornflour because that's the main ingredient in it (and most dry shampoos/face powders). When I apply a dry shampoo directly to my roots, I find it goes on unevenly and a lot of product sticks to my scalp (so gross!). To get around this, I've been applying it with a powder brush. I simply tip some dry shampoo into the palm of my hand, pick some up on the brush, and apply to my hair. This makes it apply evenly, and ensures you're not left with white/grey marks.

Dry Shampoo Troubles

So, I haven't had the best relationship with dry shampoo. The first bottle I bought was over a year ago - Batiste Diva. I actually think I liked this, but it didn't last very long. Then a few months ago I bought Batiste Brunette; this just didn't work. It left my hair slightly grey and half way through my first time using it, it permanently clogged up. Thennn last week I bought Superdrug's own dry shampoo. This was when Batiste was on offer for 99p and Superdrug's own costs £1.49, but I wanted to try it and compare the two brands.

I don't particularly like this one either, I couldn't get the white out of my hair. I don't think this is the brands fault, but something I must be doing wrong as I've read countless good reviews on Batiste and some on Superdrug's own.

Earlier in the week, I found out that Batiste were on Twitter. I tweeted them saying that my Brunette dry shampoo clogged up after one use and they kindly said they would send me a new can. It arrived today and they also have included the Nude dry shampoo, which is very generous of them!

I'm most looking forward to using the Nude dry shampoo because the spray ones choke me (With powder being in the air and all). I think it'll take a little bit more work but I would rather that then not being able to breathe!

Reviews for both of these products will be up in the next few weeks :)
