ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT DRY SHAMPOO

Skip to the bottom of this article to learn why Batiste is best!

Since I started working at Luxplus, I’ve had the opportunity to speak with all sorts of members, ranging from makeup professionals to beauty newbies. And I have to admit that these interactions are one of the best parts of my job! Not only do I get to leave the office feeling like I’ve helped someone, but I learn something new everyday. One question, however, keeps popping up again and again, what's dry shampoo?

If you don’t already know the answer to this question, go ahead and take seat because I’m about to CHANGE. YOUR. LIFE. 

What if I told you that you could achieve blowout worthy hair in seconds? Or, better yet, that you didn’t have to spend every morning laboriously washing and styling your hair?

It’s not a coincidence that this miracle product has literally been called a shower in a can. Dry shampoo has the magical ability to absorb oil, build volume, and leave your hair smelling intoxicatingly good. 

But maybe your heart has been hardened from years of bad hair days and you’re unwilling to be scorned by another hair care product full of empty promises? Don’t fret! Luxplus has Batiste dry shampoo for less than £2, a price that’s worthy enough to transform even the harshest of critics into true believers. 

Step 1- Shake! Shake! Shake it like a polaroid picture. No really, shake your can of dry shampoo before use.

Step 2- If you’ve ever used hairspray before, this next step will be a snap. Just position the nozzle of the dry shampoo 25-30cm from your roots and spray lightly. I like to spray my Batiste in quick, short, bursts, but there’s no hard science to my method so go with whatever works for you. But remember the golden rule of beauty—LESS IS MORE! 

TIP! If you have thick tresses like mine, try lifting your hair up and applying the dry shampoo in sections.

Step 3- Let the dry shampoo do it’s magic by leaving it to set for about 30 seconds.

Step 4- Using your fingertips, distribute the dry shampoo evenly throughout your hair. You can also use a hair brush during this step, but try to be as gentle as possible, otherwise you’ll lose all that volumised goodness.

Now that you’ve been enlightened on what dry shampoo is and how to use it, let me break down the Batiste basics. I’ll just come out and say it—Batiste is the holy grail of dry shampoo. It’s the cheapest, most versatile, dry shampoo that you can find on the market. 

I’ve been through my trials and tribulations with dry shampoo—testing every brand of this stuff possible. So believe me when I say, Batiste is by far the best value dry shampoo. For the less than the price of a takeaway coffee, you can ward off bad hair days for a month. That said, I’m no stranger myself to beauty splurges. I am always willing to pay top price, if I truly believe that the quality is worth it. However, that’s not the case when it comes to dry shampoo. I’ve bought high end salon dry shampoos and actually switched back because I missed the texture and longevity of Batiste.

Luxplus already offers several variations of Batiste and we’re constantly getting more in stock. There’s a Batiste scent and size for every occasion imaginable. Want to bring your dry shampoo on the go, why not try Batiste handy 50ml travel size? Do your limp locks need more oomph? Batiste XXL Plumping Powder works as an instant volumiser. In fact, I even use Batiste Tropical Dry Shampoo when I'm in need of a bit of a mood lifter. Not to sound too much like a shampoo commercial, but the smell really does whisk you away to exotic coconut-laden beach! 

Batiste dry shampoo is a godsend on those mornings where I can’t be bothered to get out of bed. It’s there for me when I’ve just finished a workout and get a text from my crush to meet him in 15 minutes. Dry shampoo is simply my hair’s BFF.

So yes, believe the hype...once you’ve tried Batiste dry shampoo, there’s no going back!
