I use dry shampoo on the odd occasion, I always read directions and experiment a little to get the application right. Thanks for the tutorial Cherie. I much prefer a wet shampoo wash. SandraXxX

I find they tend to leave my hair looking dull, so I only use them if its a last resort. A ponytail tends to be a better option for me.

I don't use dry shampoo regularly. It's great to know they come in various shades to suit different hair shades. I would love to try one that's dark or black.

thanks for the video, but i really don't see why everyone loves dry shampoo so much, it doesn't seem to make much difference to my hair

As a recent convert to dry shampoo, I can say that it's awesome and just gives me that one or two days extra before I have to go through the wash process - yay!

My hair is on the drier side, so I don't feel the need for dry shampoo. A great product for those that have oily roots

I love dry shampoo, it's a saviour on mornings I'm running late & haven't washed my locks. I had no idea there were so many brunette options on the market, will check them out too

Great article as so many people I know apply these wrong and then complain about the dry shampoo! I find they are great as a quick fix and love that there are more on the market now so we can select which works best for our hair. I like Klorane, batiste and cedel. Have yet to try these others.

I use dry shampoo occasionally and I always take one when I am travelling to freshen up. I really like the Batiste dry shampoos, the Klorane one is good too. The Toni & Guy one sounds good and I'll probably try that one next.

I rarely use it, but it does seem handy for travelling. I just wash my hair with real shampoo instead.

Dry shampoo is a godsend. Grey looking hair has never been a problem for me as I have reasonably light colour hair luckily.

Gee, I didn't know there was a formula for red hair from Batiste! I don't use dry shampoos normally as I avoid anything that accentuates my white regrowth between colourings, but a red one would be brilliant - thanks for the update bh :-) Great video Cherie, you look fabulous by the way ♥
