The Batiste Family

Batiste L-R Dry Shampoo, Hairspray, Heat & Shine Spray, Texturizing Spray

Batiste is hands down our all time favourite brand of dry shampoo. We go through a ton of the giant sized cans in Floral & Flirty Blush and recently we have been loving the limited edition Ella Henderson scent (who doesnt want hair like Ella Henderson!). It has been a part of our haircare routine even since its launch (what did we ever do without dry shampoo!) and despite trying many other brands over the past few years it is the one we always come back to. When we saw that they had launched a new 'stylist' range we were very excited to get our hands on some of the products and try them out! We decided to purchase three items we regularly use to see how they compared to our regular brands.

 

Hold Me Hairspray: Hairspray for both of us is something that we regularly use and always have in the bathroom cabinet so we were interested to see how the Batiste hairspray measured up. This product claims to hold a style for up to 24 hours (no we did not test this claim!) It also claims to be lightweight and easy to brush out. Both of us have long hair that we wear straight, in loose curls or occasionally up for work. The hairspray disperses in a fine mist and unlike some hairsprays the smell is pleasant and not overwhelming. It holds a curl during a day at the office and also holds an updo during a long hot day working and shopping. Overall this product does a great job and is something that we would repurchase especially during those times when they are on special offer in Boots/Superdrug.   

 

Shield My Locks Heat & Shine Spray: We both kill our hair on an almost daily basis with heat styling tools such as straighteners and curling irons therefore a heat protect spray is something that we do reach for regularly. We have not yet found one that can be sprayed onto dry hair that we love so we really wanted to love this. We can safely say that we do! It is so easy to work into your hair care routine. Simply spray thoughout dry hair, concentrating on the ends, before heat styling or through each length of hair prior to applying heat.  This really left the ends of our hair feeling softer than normal when styled. It's a definite repurchase for us.

 

Texture Me Texturizing Spray: We have used other texturizing sprays in the past but they are not something that we reach for on a regular basis. The Oribe Texturizing Spray gets a lot of blogger/YouTube love but let's be real, at £39.00 for 300ml it should be changing the world while making us dinner! Let's look at this realistically priced option! Claiming to give a tousled and super sexy look we parted sections of hair and lightly sprayed the product into the part finising with a bit of a rub to mess the hair up slightly and give it some volume. It definitely worked as our hair looked much less flat and had more lift and texure without being 'gritty'.

 

To summarize we would use and repurchase all of these products. They all performed well and did exactly what they said on the can! We will be picking up some of the other products in the range to put them to the test soon! They are currently available in Boots for 1/3 off so it is a great time to pick them up and try them out.
