Dry shampoos: Syoss Volume lift, Swiss O Par Frottee and Batiste Light & Blonde

I tried quite a lot of dry shampoos past year and here is review of few of them, some more coming next week.

SYOSS VOLUME LIFT

Price: you can buy it in DM drugstore (in Slovakia, Germany and so on, DI store in Belgium), it costs 5,29€ (in Slovakia).

Scent: it has very fresh scent, nothing annoying or strong; it fades away after a while.

Colour and performance: the powder has white colour which is not very practical if you are brunette or have dark hair. If you spray it too close to the roots it will look very powdery and visible even when you brush it out. I recommend spraying it from distance and in small amounts. It works ok, it soaks hair oil and leaves my hair looking and smelling fresh. On the other hand, the volume it promises was not very visible so I wouldn’t recommend it in case were looking for 2 in 1 kind of product.

SWISS O PAR FROTTEE

Price: this dry shampoo is also from DM drugstore and it costs 2,99€ (in Slovakia).

Scent: it has very powdery scent, something similar to antiperspirants like Dove one, it reminds me of baby powder. I personally don’t like this scent.

Colour and performance: it performs as well as Syoss dry shampoo but I feel like the powder is thicker than the one in Syoss and therefore even more visible and powdery looking. Even though it costs half a price of Syoss I still wouldn’t buy it again, there are better dry shampoos in the drugstore.

Dry shampoos: Syoss Volume lift, Swiss O Par Frottee and Batiste Light & Blonde 

BATISTE LIGHT & BLONDE

Price: it costs 5,59€ in DI drugstore (Belgium).

Scent: depends which one you buy. Regular dry shampoo, as well as one for the blondes (on the picture) or brunettes, doesn’t have any specific scent. Maybe little bit of freshness but nothing as strong as the Syoss or powdery as Swiss. Other editions of Batiste shampoos have different scent, for example tropical or cherry.

Colour and performance: if you buy regular dry shampoo it has white colour powder like other ones but it is so finely milled that it disappears easily when you brush your hair. Batiste for blonds has beige colour and when I was blond I really liked to use it to temporarily colour my roots. Now that I have dark hair I love Batiste Dark & Deep brown. It blends well into the hair. I tend to use it to extend the time between two colourations as it hides my grey hair like no other. This shampoo is my “safe” one which I go back to no matter what I try.
