Batiste Original Dry Shampoo

Batiste Original ($8/200ml) is the standard against which most dry shampoos are measured, and it holds that position for legitimate reasons. Oil absorption is fast — roots go from visibly greasy to refreshed in under a minute with proper application. The volume lift is genuine, not just perceived. The catch is the sweet, detectable scent and the potential for white cast if you spray too close or don't massage thoroughly. Both problems are manageable with correct technique.
