Needs a lot per use

I have very thick and long hair but I found that I needed to use a lot of the foam even for just my scalp. I had to use quite a few handfuls in order to make my hair look less oily.

After use, there was not that much residue left in my hair (less than dry shampoo) but I did still feel there was some. For the value, I would prefer to use Batiste's dry shampoo because I normally would just require a little bit of dry shampoo on my roots to reduce the oily look.

Has a nice smell but was not the most effective

Disclaimer: I received Batiste Waterless Cleansing Foam with Cactus Water from ChickAdvisor to try in exchange for a review however, opinions are my own.

It was my first time using mousse cleansing foam. At first, it felt weird since I am not used to this kind of texture but this product dries pretty fast, so the weird "sensation" disappeared pretty quickly too (a bit too fast as I don't have enough time to rub it into my hair).

I really like the scent of this waterless cleansing foam and how it did not leave white residue on my hair. However, after applying this product onto my dirty hair, it just made my straight and thin hair flatter (maybe it works better for curly hair people). To be honest, I feel like it only made my hair smelled nicer. I wouldn't replace my shampoo or my dry shampoo with this as I don't find it that effective. I also think the price doesn't justify its value/effectiveness.

Not that effective

I wanted to love this waterless cleansing foam but it really fell flat for me. My fingers were sticky with application and my hair didnt look too refreshed, the foam itself had a nice texture and scent but that would be the only positive

Evaporated too quickly and has a strong smell

I’ve used many different dry shampoos before and found this one to be my least favourite. The product is a super light foam that seems to evaporate and dissolve into your hair before you have a chance to really rub it in, which is annoying. Also, I found the smell to be way too strong and noticeable, so I am definitely not a fan.

I received this as part of the chickadvisor product review club.

Dry shampoo is better

I received this product in exchange for a review. I was excited to try this foam version as I always use Batiste's dry shampoo however it let me down. It feels like any regular foam and when I applied it to my 'dirty' hair, all it did was make my hair look wet and just smell nice; it didn't give my hair a cleaner look like the dry shampoo version so I would not recommend as it is relatively pricey, even at Walmart.

Alright...Not great

I've been using Batiste for forever and I guess I had higher expectations for this product.
I loved that it was foam so I wasn't covering my entire bathroom with dry shampoo dust. But I felt like I needed so much of the foam for every use...and I have thin/fine hair. Needless to say the can didn't last me nearly as long as the spray does.

Ineffective for me

I was so looking forward to this product but unfortunately, it really didn't work for me. For reference I have thick wavy hair that falls below my shoulderblades. It made my hair look a bit cleaner but it still felt dirty to touch. To make matters worse my scalp got a bit itchy from it every time I used it. Just overall was really let down and went back to using dry shampoo immediately.

That all said, the formulation feels nice and it really does dry quickly. I'm tempted to try one of the other "flavours" and see if maybe one of them suits me better.

You can still tell you didn't wash your hair

I didn't like this product. I received it for free to try and I wasn't impressed with the results.

It was foamy, so it applied like a mousse, but wasn't crunchy like a mousse. My hair was left looking very shiny and flat, so it definitely did not look like it was washed, despite the claim.

It did have a nice smell, but it was very strong, I guess to disguise the underlying chemical smell.

I will be passing on this product.

Ok in a pinch

I tried this product and so did.my daughter. I have used these types of products in the past and I do think that this one in particular is better than others. However like other Dry Shampoos/conditioners it can leave your hair feeling greasy if I use more than once without completing washing your hair at some point. If u are in a hurry and need to freshen your hair up it works, but I would not recommend as an all the time product. My daughter liked it however because she is always on the go and can't be bothered to wash and dry her hair all the time. The scent is nice though

Not ideal if you straighten your hair

It smelled really good and it seemed to work well, but the only reason I use a dry shampoo is to prolong time between washes because I straighten my very curly hair. This product just made it re-curl, with with closer inspection makes sense because it’s made with water. I’ll stick with dry spray shampoos for now.
