Top 10 most reviewed dry shampoos

Oily locks are an issue that plague everyone at one time or another. That greasy, icky feeling that comes after a gym session or too many days between washes.
So what is the best thing to do when an icky oil slick hits? Not all of us have time to rinse and lather our locks just before heading out the door, which is why it’s great to be able to grab a bottle of dry shampoo and provide your hair with a breath of fresh air and that just ‘washed’ feeling as it soaks up all of the oil on your scalp – and leaves you with a clean, fresh scent.

#1: Batiste Dry Shampoo (Blush, Tropical, Fresh, Diva, Original, Boho and Coloured)

I’ve only ever used Klorane and Batiste. I used to like using dry shampoo but my hair seems to not like it anymore, so I only use it when I’m desperate. Might try a different brand. Some great suggestions here.

I really don't feel dry shampoo does anything for my hair, but the Klorane one was the best and Batiste the absolute worst!

I used to use #5 and now have changed to #1 and am so happy with the move! It is easier to find within Australian stores I find and is the only reason I changed over.

So many great options on the market nowdays. I'm yet to try dry shampoo that's especially for dark hair, but plan to give it a go next time I buy some

I've tried Klorane (must review that one) and Batiste (meh, and I don't think I've reviewed that one, either). The one I know I've definitely reviewed and thought was great but a pain to apply was the dry shampoo by Lush.

I have a baptise london edition dry shampoo and it smells too overpowering. Otherwise it's a good product.

Kms is my fav. Dry shampoo by far. Ive tried the klorane from priceline and it was hardly making my hair feel fresh and clean. It felt to powered and left too much white dusty look. Kms is 30.00 from hair house ware house and i cant ever change. Try it.

After reading this I went a bought the Toni and Guy dry shampoo and it is the best. No white powder aftermath, fantastic smell and gives your hair the body it needs when it hasn't been washed. Thanks for the suggestion!!!

I have tried a lot of dry shampoos but I haven't tried the Tigi one - so that would be good to try.

TBH, I really dislike dry shampoo, but I do use it occasionally in absolute desperation. I think Batiste is the best. I like the cherry one.
