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)
Definitely the major player in the dry shampoo arena, if the ability to absorb excess oil from your scalp doesn’t impress you, then maybe their various amazing scents – or the fact that they have a whopping 475 reviews across the brand on beautyheaven, will.
Reviewers said:
“Does the job perfectly. Can get another day out of my hair when I'm too lazy/busy to wash and wait for my long hair to dry!” – xCarla
“This product regularly saves my life! And as a blonde, when I'm close to my colour, it also helps to lessen the severity of my regrowth!” – Kristie_

I haven't really found a dry shampoo that I like. Maybe they don't work well on fine, straight hair? This gives me some options to try though.

Most of the dry shampoos Ive tried haven't been that great. They always leave residue behind and even the coloured ones don't work =/

I use batiste and like the tropical and blush fragrances. It is a life save on the mornings I am running late to wash my hair and it gives more body to hair style too

I am not a fan of dry shampoo as I have tried Freshstart Dry Shampoo few times, not a very good product. Disappointing.

I love Batiste Dry Shampoo. My favourite is the Cherry one. I tried the Tresemme one & liked the product but found it clogged the spray nozzle so I was forever washing it out. Most annoying when in a hurry... which is why I like to use Dry Shampoo in the first place.

I'm always looking for a good dry shampoo; I'm not 100% happy with the Batiste ones but I do enjoy the tropical scented one. If we had the Herbal Essences dry shampoo, I'd be all over it! I love yummy smelling ones :)
