Batiste dry shampoo XXL - my saviour for a bad hair day !

Yesterday I had to participate to a very important meeting #BeautySwapByBeautyBarometer , where many, many beauty bloggers would meet, chat and swap beauty products.Very, very fun! But of course my hair just wouldn't cooperate: I had washed it one and a half day before and it was already very oily and lacking volume. Bad, bad hair! And a bad hair day soon would follow! I just couldn't attend the meeting like that! What to do ? I didn't have the time to wash it so I took my saviour out of my stash : Batiste dry shampoo to the resque !!! Before I show you how it saved the day something about the brand :
...........................

Batiste is a personal hair care brand which was founded in 1975 by Schwarzkopf as part of a larger hair care range. But then in 2001 Church and Dwight bought Batiste and Batiste was relaunched with a new design and the beginning on their trade markcolours. Batiste offers a large range of dry shampoos that are perfect for every hair type or colour.

'For over 40 years we've been using our expertise to help women have fabulous hair every day. That’s why we've created a range of products for use between washes when you need a quick fix, but still want your hair to look amazing. Whatever your hair style, type or colour, we have the product for you.'

The science behind Batiste:

At the heart of all Batiste Dry Shampoos is an innovative starch based “no water needed” formulation. Adapting to your hairs needs, it targets excess oil and grease, helping to eliminate it at the roots. Boosting body it gives dull, lifeless hair the makeover that it deserves without water. Just spray, massage in and style!

The products in the Revitalise It range contain amazing fragrances for hair that smells as great as it looks. For the ultimate volume boost, the Oomph It range is the one to go for. Strength and Shine Dry Shampoo with L-Arganine in the Nourish It range is perfect for refreshing dull and tired hair while Smoothing Conditioning Mist is enriched with the naturally moisturising and nourishing Argan Oil and is for the mid length & ends. The Hint of Colour products are colour tinted, so they blend seamlessly, whatever your hair colour.     source : batistehair.co.uk

Batiste Dry Shampoo is a starch based product with an innovative ‘no water needed formula’ which banishes oily roots and boosts body giving dull lifeless hair the makeover that it needs without any water. A quick burst revitalises hair leaving it feeling clean and fresh. No need to worry about skipping a shampoo.

I have the Batiste XXL Volume in the travel size in the 50ml/1.6 oz recipient of product .

Instructions for use : Batiste is simple and easy to use. Shake the can vigorously before use. Separate hair into sections and spray into roots in quick short bursts (holding the can about 30cm away from your hair). Leave for a few moments, massage through, brush out any excess and you are good to go! For extra texture and body don’t brush through. Batiste can be used on most types of hair. It’s fabulous if you have fine flyaway hair as it can give your hair texture and added volume. If you don’t want that volume effect, simply brush out any excess after massaging through.

I have followed the instructions and indeed the results were significant, my hair lost its greasy appearance, received a burst of volume and became stronger and easier to style (my hair is very soft and therefore hard to style without strong styling products to hold the style).
   
But let me show you the magic of Batiste :

before - I was not happy

after - much better

I just love the XXL Volume especially for the oomph it gives to my hair! I'm so very happy that I found it! I will definitely buy it and keep it ready to save the day...the bad hair day. It is a wonderful product so I wholeheartedly give it the A grade!!

CAN I USE BATISTE ON COLOUR TREATED HAIR?
Yes! Using Batiste regularly can help prolong the vibrancy of your colour, as you won’t need to shampoo and blow dry as often (the main causes of coloured hair fading).
......................
CAN I USE BATISTE IF I HAVE EXTENSIONS OR WEAVES?
No problem! Just make sure you only spray onto your natural roots and gently massage into the root area. We don’t recommend that you try and brush the excess out as it could damage your extensions or weaves, but if you choose to, then please be extra careful.     source : batistehair.co.uk
