My Opinion:

 

Although I do wash my hair everyday, my roots gets really flat by midday, especially during the summer, and since I've discovered my first dry shampoo, I've been branching out.

 

I've really liked the Alterna dry shampoo, it smells really green and it doesn't leaves any white powder behind. Unlike Batiste which always left my hair gray, and since I've dyed my hair black, the normal white powder dry shampoo looks really weird on me.

 

This product was really expensive in comparison with Batiste which was only HK$50.00, but I was willing to overlook the price, because I've really liked the product, but my bottle stopped working after 5 applications, I've tried rinsing the nozzle with hot water but still no product would come out, the bottle was still full!!!!! I'm so frustrated and I'm not sure if I want to try this again.
