Superdrug Dry Shampoo

Despite the Kim Kardashian lookalike on the can, I do quite like the theory and packaging of this range.  Names like "Head In The Clouds", "Away With The Fairies" or "Chocolate Brownie" above filled my head with nice, carefree summery thoughts.

I'm a Batiste girl at heart, but regular stocking up can get expensive (a friend made the radical suggestion that I just make the effort to wash my hair...I nearly choked) so when I saw this on offer for 99p I figured I'd give it a whirl.

I wish I hadn't, because it was so bad that I spent a week dry shampoo-less and had to go out the next weekend to buy my beloved Batiste which I should have done all along.  It left my hair feeling powdery and doesn't smell nice, so I handed it over to Ed in a bid to get him to leave my good stuff alone.  He's come to the same conclusion as me, and his input to this post is "it doesn't really feel like dry shampoo, leaves s**t all over my hands and when you wash your hair loads of orange stuff comes out of it".

This dry shampoo really isn't for me, and I wish I'd followed my initial plan to not buy this because I'd read many a rubbish review.  That said, there are also quite a few glowing ones too.  Which side of the fence do you sit on?

    1. That's the part that annoyed me most! Although it was just 99p on offer, it really annoyed me that I'd wasted it and theoretically made the cost of my usual dry shampoo more expensive! x

  3. I do not like dry shampoos too. I tried a product once and never tried it again. I almost get the same feedback when I read reviews like yours. Although there are positive comments too, to those well-known brands. And the girl really looks like Kim! haircutting classes
