A few years ago I was a huge fan of dry shampoo; it was a complete life saver when my hair was a huge messy grease-bomb and I just could not be bothered to wash it out. However after a while I started to notice my normal Batiste dry shampoo was making my hair look dull and almost grey (eeek!), so to prevent this 'premature ageing' of the hair, I switched to washing my hair more regularly, not using the Batiste product. However, when Batiste sent me their relatively new 'tones' dry shampoo I couldn't wait to try them out, hoping it would solve the 'dull' hair problem!
As I have a really weird hair colour- not really blonde but not really brunette- they offered to send me both the blonde and medium to brunette version of the tones shades, so I could pick which one suited my hair better.
Upon receiving them I immediately sprayed them onto plain white paper to see if their claims of a tinted colour was true...
As you can see they do indeed spray a tint into your hair, although when rubbed into your hair this isn't too noticeable, so no yellow barbie hair here!
These perform in exactly the same way as normal dry shampoo, making your hair fresher and a lot cleaner looking, while not leaving that grey 'granny' residue in your hair.
I found that the blonde version suited my hair colour more than the brunette version as it brightened up my hair colour, and the darker spray made it look more flat. I think the blonde version would be perfect for someone who wants to lighten their hair very subtly!

Overall I was really impressed with these 'tones' and they have definitely re-kindled my love affair with dry shampoo! A definite future re-purchase for me! :)
Oh great I keep looking at the brown one when I go into Boots and Superdrug, I keep meaning to buy it as I hate the grey tinge you get :-) x
ReplyDeleteI love the batiste tones(:, the smell is a bit odd though!xx
ReplyDeleteI need this in my life, the one I'm using leaves my hair with obvious pearl white highlights! xx
ReplyDeleteAh I wish they made one for red hair! I'd deffo get them instead! x
ReplyDeleteThe brown one somehow makes my hair look grey!! I love how good it is as a dry shampoo but the colour just doesn't like my hair somehow and looks awful :( xx
ReplyDeleteHannah, you have such lovely hair :D x
ReplyDeletegreat idea. I've noticed a slight greying on my roots too, and I assume it's from my recent baptiste use as I've never dyed my hair! the tinted dry shampoo is a good thing, I'll try that next time!
ReplyDeleteI love the blonde version! Whenever my roots are looking shameful I find this covers them really well :} Hair life-saver I tell you!!

This is a greatt idea x
ReplyDeletewow this is such a great product, absolute lifesaver in a can! but what one should you spray on red hair???? xxxxx
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you all like batiste tones! To those with red hair i think that the brunette one would work best on you as the bottle has red streaks so i assume that indicates it's for red heads too! :) xx
ReplyDeleteThese are great! I always go for tinted dry shampoos but now I want to try an invisible one. I want to compare which one is better.:D

The blonde one works well on my red hair. It really depends on how red or dark your hair is, mine's fairly light. It's better than white or grey hair either way!
ReplyDeleteBut my hair is dyed red, naturally lightish brown, not sure if that makes any difference though.
