Dry shampoo for fair hair

Toast4532

Hi,

I'm looking to get a dry shampoo for fair/light brown hair.

I've tried Basiste in the past and didn't like it at all, it left white, almost dandruff like stuff (powder?) in my hair and my hair felt as if I'd sprayed a tin of hairspray on it, it was horrible.

I usually have to wash my hair every 2-3 days as it gets greasy, but if I could get a decent dry-shampoo and wouldn't leave a white powder-like substance in my hair and wouldn't leave it feeling like I'd put hairspray on it I could get away with washing it once every five days or so.

Can anyone recommend a good, not too expensive dry shampoo for fair/light brown hair that won't do any of the above?

Have you tired the Baptiste hint of colour range?

It goes on significantly less white, if that's any help. Can't think of anything else.

It is great actually if you have roots, I can get an extra few weeks out of my colour using it. In fact, when I start using it to prolong my colour, someone invariably asks if I've gotten my hair done!

Umberto Gianni Morning After dry shampoo dries clear, not white. It also doesn't smell as offensive (to me) as the Batiste ones. It's often on offer in Boots.

Don't go near that Batiste coloured one for blondes. It's like spreading yellow talc on your head! I use the regular Batiste, have to say I like it.

I found the blonde batiste good when I had highlights, didn't appear yellow on my hair, but the smell is awful! Try before you buy!

I don't colour my hair at all, its naturally brown/fair.

Thanks for your suggestion.

I will have a look in Boots and see if they have it, thanks.

The Blonde Batiste is horrific. It stinks and is akin to spraying yellow paint spray on your head.

Klorane is great if not a little pricey but a little goes a long way.

Talc is great if you brush it out properly and don't over do it.

I like the Batiste Cherry one (I've really dark brown hair though, but it doesn't leave a grey cast if used correctly) as it dries fairly quickly so any excess product/dust can be easily shaken out. Smells like cherry lollipops though if you don't like that scent.

I have Batiste for red hair but its not great. Have a light coloured top today and it has stained the back of it with colour:(

This stuff is supposed to be great but hard to get here widely available in France

You can order this on the amazon UK site too for about €12 incl delivery.

Spotted this on a blog about making your own dry shampoo. Don't know if it works but could be worth a try.

The Lush dry shampoo is pretty good. It's called No Drought. It blends well and I'm a brunette.

I bought that. It is unbelievably rubbish (in my opinion!) It's just cornstarch! and a bit of essential oils! Kinda cheeky to charge a €10 for it.. though look at me, I was sucked in!
