What I say:

I'm normally a Batiste girl, occasionally Osis Dust It but when I sent DH to Sainsbury's for dry shampoo, he came back with this.  Priced at £4.99, a good few quid extra than it's Batiste counterpart, I had high hopes.

First impressions were good; I followed the instructions and shook the can before spraying through my hair, paying particular attention to the roots.  My hair definitely felt more bouncy and the limpness was reduced.  There was no visible signs of powder on my blonde hair which can be an issue with other dry shampoos.  The scent is sweet with subtle floral undertones, definitely quite a clean, pleasant scent.

A couple of hours later however, my head felt decidedly itchy!  I've used it a couple of times since and it's almost like you can feel the shampoo's presence on your scalp!  Not good.  I wonder if anyone else has felt like this, or whether I don't agree with a particular ingredient?  I have never had similar issues with other dry shampoo products though.

Would I re-purchase?

Afraid not.  Particularly when my local Superdrug is currently selling Batiste at 99p!
