    I've tried a few of these this year- a festival must!!

    Batiste is ok, definitely sorts out the gunk - it has a strong smell and can make hair look faded. Has the advantage of being the cheapest too :)

    Toni and Guy is my second fav - I think it keeps my hair cleaner longer than the other two, though not quite as much bounce as Klorane. Has a nice smell too :)

    The best one I've tried though is Klorane:

    It makes hair look just washed - and matte without looking gray or faded. I haven't seen it for sale except online though...
    :money: I heart Martin! :money:
  • Lee Stafford dry shampoo is amazing, comes in an aerosol can so no mess or waste. I've tried talc but it makes my dark hair look a bit powdery. Feeling creative one morning, i tried a little cocoa powder at the roots and it worked a treat. Smelled pretty good too :)

    i used to use the batiste but really hated the smel and discovered that talcum powder does just as good a job and not so obvious a smell. plus its also a way of using up all those johnsons talcum powder that may have been bought for the 100 bonus clubcard. use in exact same way.hth

    I rediscovered Batiste lately. It's handy when I'm on very early shifts and don't have the time or inclination to wash my hair first thing. It's £2.09 in Boots. Might have to try the Lee Stafford or the Toni & Guy though.

    I've found if I use talc, it help if you lightly rub your hair with a towel (as if you were drying it). It helps distribute it through a bit better.

    Oh, and a word of warning when using dry shampoo - don't spray it whilst wearing a black top. :rotfl:

    I finally tracked down the stuff Bountyhunter was talking about from "Sally", now that Kleeneze (or is it Betterware?) do it. I was so impressed I got some for me as well as my old Mum. I knew this stuff existed because I saw two girls on a basic campsite shampooing their hair with no means of rinsing out the lather, and I saw them a bit later with nice shiny clean hair. Unfortunately I was not near enough to ask what they'd used. Now I know! I also like the info on Orris root, thanks. Sometimes, the old ways are as relevant today, and gentler.
    Howwwwwww Much???? ;)
