Product Mania: Pssst versus Batiste Dry Shampoo Smackdown

Hey all!

So today I thought I would do something a little different and compare two products head to head! The topic under consideration is dry shampoos.

When shopping for dry shampoos you want to consider: color, feel to the hair after use, (excess) residue and ease of application.

Dry shampoos are awesome for days you don't wash your hair (make sure you aren't washing your hair everyday anyways, because it'll strip the natural oils from you hair) and need to feel clean, while getting out of the house in a flash.

The first dry shampoo I ever tried was Pssst (Original) Dry Shampoo:

Pros: 

  • Light weight feel
  • Powder absorbs quickly with "minimal blending"
  • Easy application
  • Goes on wet, but quickly becomes powder
Cons
  • Smell is a bit off, but not horrible
  • Wet feeling (while only temporary) is not ideal
  • Rate of spray is rather light


When I used up my first can of Pssst I decided to try another brand out just to compare and contrast. I found Batiste's Original Dry Shampoo for a comparable price (just around a dollar more, but I believe you get around 2 oz. more for that money)!
Pros
  • Amazing application (the amount of product and force of the nozzle is unmatched)
  • Goes on as powder with minimal liquid feeling
  • Smell is much more pleasant than Pssst's
  • Makes my hair feel more voluminous and cleaner overall than with Pssst
Cons:
  • Sometimes when blending there is some residue from the product (easily remedied by running hands through hair again)

So in conclusion the winner of the Dry Shampoo Product Mania Smackdown is:

***WINNER***
Batiste Original Dry Shampoo


Stay pretty...stay smart!
