I've used Batiste dry shampoo for as long as I can remember; it's easily the first name on people's lips when you think of dry shampoo. However, for the time being I'm waving bye bye to Batiste and going with... Girlz Only! Although the name sounds like a dodgy 90s girlband and makes me feel like I should be about 12 to buy it, it's actually a really good quality dry shampoo!
There's three in the Girlz Only range; Hazy Days (floral fragrance), Dawn til Dusk (citrus fragrance) and Party Nights (fruity fragrance). I've tried the latter two. They are 150ml in size and the RRP is £1.50. I've bought these from Tesco for this price, but Google tells me that you can also pick them up in Poundland! So I'll be heading there next time instead. In comparison, Batiste is 200ml in size for £2.99, so Girlz Only does work out as better value per 50ml.
In terms of quality I personally find that Girlz Only works just as well as Batiste. There's no white, powdery residue with Girlz Only and it refreshes my second day hair really well. Out of the two I'm leaning towards Dawn til Dusk as my favourite scent, as I find the citrus really refreshing and revitalising.
Have you tried any of the Girlz Only range? What's your current favourite dry shampoo?

I actually had to switch the other way, from Girlz Only back to Batiste!
ReplyDeleteI dunno if anyone else has ever had this problem, but the last 2 cans I had of Girlz Only burst in my travel bag and leaked all over my stuff :( I use dry shampoo a lot for work (I'm a care support worker doing sleepover shifts) so to have that happen continually has put me off buying it again.
Having said that, Girlz Only is a fab dry shampoo, it's just that technical issue that I had a problem with, but I hope it's one that you don't experience :)

P.S Really enjoy your blog!
Oh no! I haven't been carrying mine around, but I will be careful if I do - thanks! x
DeleteLove Girlz only, it's not as good for volume and texture but leaves your skin really fresh, clean and shiny and without the nasty whiteness!
ReplyDeleteAgree! It's a great cheaper alternative to Batiste!x
DeleteI've got a can of Batiste, but haven't had too much luck with it so far! My hair doesn't feel fresh afterwards, but I'm starting to wonder if I'm brushing it through enough! I'm definitely going to take a look at this brand though next time I'm in Tescos! xx
ReplyDeleteHmmm not sure, I don't brush mine through loads, though I do run my fingers through it after quite a bit. It's worth a try to see if it works better for you :-) x
DeleteI've never heard of this but I'll have to give it a go - I'm always on the hunt for a dry shampoo!
ReplyDeleteI've nominated you for an award on my blog btw :) http://agirlandherzuca.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/blog-awards-liebster-and-versatile.html xx
Thank you! :-) x
DeleteI need try this. I always wonder about different brands. I recently tried the Charles Worthington one and hated it x
ReplyDeleteI'm not massively keen on Charles Worthington as a brand, never been v. impressed with the products I've tried of theirs. I definitely recommend giving this one a try!x
DeleteOh wow, I just buy Batiste without even thinking twice about using another one! I do love the Batiste for darker hair because my hair is so dark, but I will definately be giving Girlz Only a try :)

Yeah same really! I would automatically re-purchase it, but I'm trying to be good with the pennies - that's why Girlz Only caught my eye!x
DeleteThese look great and the bottles are so much nicer than Batise! Ill have to invest in some! Please follow my blog back hun http://wardrobebeautlove.blogspot.co.uk/ xxx
ReplyDeleteNever really thought about the packaging but I do like! I will check out your blog, thanks for the link :-) x
DeleteI love this and it is super cheap, which makes me love it more! I pick it up from Tesco too, which is why I don't buy it all the time because I have to make a special trip when I want it! x
ReplyDeleteI usually pick it up with our food shopping, but I'm yet to see if it's in my local Poundland, that's a special trip for me! Glad you're loving it too :-) xx
