Sunsilk refreshing dry shampoo review

For as long as I can remember I've used Batisse Dry shampoo to refresh my hair between washes. I've tried out lots of variations: original, blush, tropical, brunette etc but never switched brands. I always thought it was the first on the market and likely the best. A classic like L'oreal Elnett hairspray that I'd never deviate from.

Well, then I arrived in Dubai and put on the infamous Dubai stone in the first year and have spent my second year exercising like crazy to try and take off the stone! I exercise five or six times a week at the moment and just don't have the time - or the energy - to wash and dry my thick wavy/curly hair everyday. So I have been relying heavily on my trusty Batisse. Except recently I've noticed it hasn't been all that effective in masking the root greasiness. 

Enter Sunsilk refreshing dry shampoo for normal hair. This came in my Glambox recently and Sunsilk isn't generally a brand I'd ever go for. Well, I've been using it this past week and I'm happy with the results!

It comes in a pink aerosol can, is easy to apply and has a barely noticeable smell - hurrah! I can't handle overbearingly smelly hair products.... 

It sprays on as quite a grey powder and initially I thought: "urgh this isn't going to rub in", but you need to leave on your hair for a few moments to soak up the oil and settle (maybe brush your teeth in the meantime!) and then thoroughly massage in to your scalp. The colour disappears and you are left with a powdery look on close inspection but nothing noticeable. 

It totally stripped the greasy look and also added some good volume which I was really happy about! 

The hair is left with a dry textured feel and doesn't feel soft but this dry shampoo does the job it's meant to do and lasts all day in my hair. Impressed!  


Before... Greaseball (sorry!): 


During... Bit grey eek!

After- all rubbed in, volumnised and grease free- winner!
