Dry Shampoo Wars

I think The title might be over dramatic. Ah well. So I said a little while back in this post here that I might just review the two dry shampoos I had picked up in a moment of indecision. If they were to similar, the idea would pretty much be out the window, but there are some noticeable differences. Let's get cracking.

Batiste Dry Shampoo in Blush
This one I got for about five dollars and it come is a 6.72 oz can. I will say though that this can is a lot lighter than the other one and I don't know if there's less product or what. Promises and instant hair refresh for all hairstyles that's perfect to absorb grease and add texture in-between washes. I'll add that the scent is slightly floral and very subtle and that it sprays on white.

Not Your Mother's Clean Freak Dry Shampoo
I picked this one up for like eight bucks, I'm pretty sure(checks receipt again). Meijer receipts are so not descriptive! Anyway, it's a 7 oz can and it promises instant results. It absorbs excess oil, cleans without water, and has a lite matte finish. That's what the bottle says, at least. I just quickly add in there that it smells like a subtle citrus and stereotypical shampoo combination. A bit summery. It's also pretty clear when you spray it unless you spray way to close, which is nice.

Comparison
I feel like the Batiste one has the preferable scent because it's so subtle that it won't clash with perfume(which is such a first world problem of mine..). I think it's a bit more powdery that the other which means that it's finish is more matte and it gives a bit more volume. It also needs more blending in. When you do blend it in, white powder kinda shakes out everywhere, which is annoying. On the other hand, I think that the Not Your Mother's one would be quicker to use because theres no white issue and I do like the scent but I worry... about the perfume thing.

Bottom line
Though I like both, I find myself reaching for the Batiste Dry Shampoo more often.

So that's about it. I hope this helped you in some way, shape, or form. I like both products for different occasions. Tell me what your favorite dry shampoo is, I'd love to know as I'm a bit of a dry shampoo fiend.
