So I purchased the Batiste Divine Dark dry shampoo with hopes of it camouflaging my thin hair and to darken any grey roots between dye jobs. Well... it sprays on a greyish color that you must work in with your fingers to darken; which also causes it to break up and you’re left with a black dust all over your forehead (my thinning is in front)! I was really hoping this product would be what I expected it to be, but it wasn’t
I bought this stuff after I had back surgery and wasn't able to shower. Thought it would be a good way to keep my hair from looking disgusting.
First thing is that my hair felt gross in a different way after using this. I only sprayed it on my roots, but it made my whole head of hair feel like hay, and made my scalp really itchy. I could feel it there. I tried a lot of different ways to use it, because I really wanted this to work. I tried using less, but my hair still looked greasy. I tried using more, but then my hair felt even more hay like and the itching was worse. I tried massaging it in, I tried letting it soak up the grease and then massaging it. I scoured google for different ways to apply this stuff and tried everything I could find. No matter what, it was unpleasant.
I thought that having the darker colour would be better because it wouldn't look like dandruff. And that was true, but I also found that throughout the day it would migrate to my forehead and I'd have dark marks on my forehead that looked like I had dirt on me or something (this happened even when I didn't even use enough to take away the greasiness in my hair). When I would wash my face at night there would be a lot of dark stuff coming off of my face so I think the flakes or whatever they are were actually getting all over my face.
I'm pretty sure it was clogging the pores on my forehead around the hairline as well, because I only get a few pimples usually around my mouth area, but I was getting several on the top of my forehead and around my hairline, while using this. Once I stopped, the pimples went away.
Aside from these things, I have allergies when I use aerosol hairspray (Sneezing mostly) and this gave me the same reaction, so if you're still thinking of giving it a try, if you have aerosol allergies, then I strongly recommend not using this. You will be sneezing all day!
I normally love the batiste dry shampoo, the only thing with the brown one is that it leaves marks on your ears because of the dark brown colour. Any of the other batiste dry shampoos are worth getting.
I was really impressed with the packaging and really exciting to try the product. I found it really pretty. I thought that it would match my hair color perfectly. I liked the smell. I followed the directions on the bottle. What I didn't like about the product is that after I used it I straightened my hair and my fingers became all black. I rather use the normal dry shampoo without dye in it because you can see the white stuff in your hair and where the oil is and you can use that as a reference. I wouldn't purchase this product or recommend this to a friend. I received this product for free as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club.
I was not impressed with this at all.... I thought it would be like the other dry shampoo by batiste which I love but it was not. I found it didn't really give off any colour to the hair and the colour that did come out ended up all over my hands and made a huge mess. I would not recommend this to any one sadly :(.
I was provided this product to test with the Product Review Club a few weeks ago. I have to admit I was not as impressed as I hoped to be. I was using Tresemme before and wouldn't switch to the brand. It does not work as well and also doesn't smell very nice. Maybe someday I will try a different version.
