VO5 Plump It Up Dry Shampoo

An absolute dry shampoo convert, it was time to stray away from the safety zone of Batiste and try out an alternative product, the VO5 Plump it up Dry Shampoo. This product aims to boost body and grip, while refreshing your style.

 

This dry shampoo has a lovely scent and a gentle texture. It does freshen up your hair but without leaving a thick white residue, which I often found with Batiste. Some dry shampoos, a TreSemme in particular can feel a bit too wet and have a distinct hair spray scent. Wonderfully, this VO5 dry shampoo successfully avoids this also. As it is very gentle in the way it works, I feel like I have to apply a lot of product in order to achieve the desired effect, leading to a bit of battle with the grey-ish streaks. It is lovely to use and feels a lot lighter in your hair than other dry shampoos I have used, making it ideal for a quick freshen up session or to add a bit of extra volume. Would happily purchase this product again!

Batiste Dry Shampoo // Original vs Dark?

The Batiste dry shampoo is a real life saver when it comes to those lazy days when all you need is a quick pick me up to revive your hair. Being a dedicated fan of the Batiste dry shampoo for a long while (the cherry one smells deeeelicious), I still felt there was something missing.... then it came along - the Batiste dry shampoo with a hint of dark and deep brown designed for brunettes, best thing ever right? At first I absolutely loved it but then came the flaws. I can never decide which one I prefer, so now I always try to have both at hand. 

Batiste original:

Pros -Available in lots of lovely scents. Doesn't rub off on things

Cons - Visible in dark hair, brushing a lot of it out loses volume too.

Batiste dark:

Pros - Less visible when applied to dark hair. Can apply a lot without worrying about the residue.

Cons - Rubs off on hands ( I like running my fingers through my hair), rubs off on cushion (spontaneous naps). I wish there were more scents to chose from!!

Which one is your favourite? Brunettes - do you love the dark dry shampoo do you stick with the original?
