My Opinion:

I though that Got 2b Rockin' It Dry Shampoo was my favorite dry shampoo, but recently I've tried the Suave's Dry Shampoo and felt in love with the scent, the Suave's scent is very different from Got 2b, while Got 2b is really citrusy and fresh, this one smells really sweet and it reminds me of a tropical cocktail.

 

If you are allergic to scented stuffs you might not want to use this because the scent is very strong, sometimes I found it to be even stronger than my perfume, but the scent doesn't lingers for too long. I've been rotating between these 2 dry shampoos and I love them both.

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.

Got 2b Rockin' It Dry Shampoo

Contents: 4.3oz / 122g

 

Ingredients: Isobutane, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Starch, Alcohol Denat, Butane, Propane, Parfum (Fragrance)

My Opinion:

 

Personally I think all dry shampoos are the same, and I've always used Batiste because it is the most economical one that I could find.

 

I've recently got tired of the Batiste scent and wanted to try something new, although I don't remember exactly how much I've paid for it, I remember that it was about twice the price of Batiste.

 

I shouldn't have gotten this product, because I fell in love with the scent, it smells exactly like lemon tea, and being a citrus freak there is no going back.....

Batiste Dry Shampoo

Scent: Original
Contents: 150ml / 5.05 fl oz
Price: HK$44.90
Local of Purchase: Local chemist

My Opinion:

 

For product details please check out my previous post on the floral scented Batiste Dry Shampoo.

 

I prefer the original scent over the floral scent, but this is just a personal preference, because I don't really like floral scented stuffs.

 

Apart from the scent this works in exactly the same way as the floral scented dry shampoo, so if you are interested go check it out.

My hair routine has recently gone thru some drastic changes, and I no longer wash my hair everyday, I've started to wash my hair in alternative days. On the days that I do not wash my hair, I rely on dry shampoo (I've got oily scalp). I've tried those that comes in a bottle where you have to pour out the product and didn't like it, I personally prefer dry shampoo that comes in a can, it's easier to control.

Since I've started to use dry shampoo, and not washing my hair everyday, I've noticed a huge improvement on my hair texture, although I'm not a huge fan of the gritty texture, I'm willing to overlook.
