Herbal Essence does dry shampoo?

Herbal Essence is a brand that's been around since before I can remember.  I do find their products a bit hit and miss at times, especially their conditioners, but that's a whole other post.  I did do a little jump of joy though, when I saw that they'd released a trio of dry shampoos.  



I picked up two of the three as that's all that was left when I was browsing the shelves.  The Ignite My Colour dry shampoo (£2.99, 189ml) is, as you can guess, aimed towards coloured hair and is lightly rose scented. It promises to transform coloured, lifeless hair, while still cleansing and helping to banish greasy roots.  Out of the two I can say that this one is my favourite in terms of results, but not so much with the scent, it's just one that lingers but not in a good way.  The Uplifting Volume dry shampoo (£2.99, 180ml) however smells incredible - it's really fruity without being too sweet or cloying, but the forumla just didn't do it for me, it made my hair feel a bit chalky and too stiff. It's would be great for adding texture and volume to quite fine, thin hair however. 




As always with a dry shampoo, both cans need to be shaken up quite well, and hen once sprayed into the hair, make sure you give your scalp a good ol' rub to get the products worked in well, without and left over residue. 

The forumla is really good at banning greasiness, and keeping it at bay the following day too if needs be.  I applied mine to two day old hair, and then the next day I just went on as I usually would without having to reapply.  Washing out is easy too, it just comes straight out without any need to rinse and repeat with your usual shampoo. 

The packaging is my only problem as, travel wise, they're not too friendly.  They're quite narrow cans, but very tall so they do tend to take up a bit of extra space - hopefully there will be some smaller cans to come?
