I know what you’re thinking. Isn’t Batiste Dry Shampoo already available in Malaysia? Yes. It is already in the Malaysia market since two years ago I believe but there was no launch done and no marketing done. Zero product exposure except for a few of us who has been using Batiste and been talking about it on the blog and even on social media channels. Even the stocks are insufficient and I find myself constantly hunting for it. It is getting so tiring trying to find Batiste and I am SO GLAD that a huge company such as DKSH took over Malaysia distributorship. That means consumers will not need to run around the town, supermarket to supermarket like a headless chicken hunting for it.

I do not need to do much introduction or hard selling because I have reviewed Batiste before. If you missed it, here is the link to the review with a complete before and after photo. How about that!

A lot of people are still unsure what dry shampoo is for and why do some people uses them. Batiste has been UK’s number one dry shampoo brand for over 30 years. There are others in the market but I always go back to Batiste. In short, dry shampoo is a quick fix in between washes. For example I wash my hair every evening and in the morning I would have oily scalp. So in order to remove the oil on the scalp and to freshen my hair, I would use Batiste dry shampoo. It contain rice starch that works by absorbing the oil up.

There are a lot of products and varieties under Batiste but Malaysia only carries five ranges at the moment.

• Floral & Flirty – Blush: This is my 3rd favourite scent of all. It comes with floral scent, which can be a little too heavy on some people. This is also Batiste’s best-seller scent.
• Fruity & Cheeky – Cherry: Cherry scent has quickly become my number #1 favourite, pushing Blush back. It has a bit of a sweet, fun scent. The scent is quite pleasant and most people I know love this scent too.
• Clean & Classic – Original: While Cherry is my top favourite, Original scent happens to be my 2nd favourite. It does not contain any scent. Just a classic clean and fresh scent.
• A Hint of Colour – Divine Dark: And if you are afraid of getting white residue on the hair, this is a dark tinted dry shampoo and I believe it wasn’t available before.
• Show Stopping – Heavenly Volume: If hair volume is your concern, then this 2-in-1 dry shampoo is your answer. Not only it freshen up your hair, it also give you the volume more than normal dry shampoo.

When everyone was buying and ordering Bioderma from oversea, I decided to sit around and wait for the brand to be brought in to Malaysia. I always believe somebody or some company would be following the hype. So when Batiste Dry Shampoo was a “hot” product, I did the same. I sit and wait. Guess what? A few months down the road and a company brought the brand in!

I’m so glad I waited because the cheapest I’ve seen from online store is around RM35 per can and I bought it straight from Aeon Big Alamanda Putrajaya for just RM24.90. Good things come to those who wait eh? There are a few supermarket that carry Batiste Dry Shampoo. You can get it from Village Grocer, Jaya Grocer, Presto Grocer (the few I know) and if all the location is out of your reach like my case, just go to Aeon Big. I went to a standalone Aeon Big but they don’t carry Batiste so I figure I might get it easier from an Aeon Big located in a mall. So I drove to Aeon Big Alamanda Putrajaya and found it.

There are eight scents available to choose from. I saw all seven scents except for the scent Tropical. I must have missed it. But anyway seven scents is more than enough . Out of the seven scents, I went for Blush. Blush is a floral and flirty scent. You know me an floral scented stuff. We are inseparable.

Nothing to shout about on the can. It is a typical aerosol can similar to hair spray. One thing to note is that the powder substance will accumulate on the spray nozzle as time goes by.

Batiste Dry Shampoo is designed as a quick and convenient way to get soft, clean and fresh smelling hair minus the shampoo gel and water. This is great to be used in between hair wash because you know some people don’t wash their hair everyday. That’s not all why Batiste is well-loved all around. With the formula it has, it can revitalize greasy, dull and lifeless hair, fix fly-away hair by thickening it and adds texture and volume for styling.

If you’re a newbie to Batiste Dry Shampoo, there is a small trick on making it to work. I remember I used it wrongly for the first time and my hair is greasier than before. After lots of trial, I finally got it right. Basically you just need to section your hair, SHAKE THE CAN VIGOROUSLY before spraying (very important), hold the can a hand away and spray on the roots along the section line. But I wanted my hair to look just like I had a hair wash so I’d spray on top of the head slightly as well. Now, massage through with your fingers. The trick here is to shake the can like a mad woman before using. If you did not mix the content well, you will get an even more greasier hair. Bear in mind the content contain powdery substance, which I assume is to absorb all the oil and add volume to the hair so massage until all the powder is gone. You will end up with a pair of powdery hand thereafter.

Here is the Before and After . Hair feels clean, flowy, easy to style and smells good too. One thing I regretted is not getting the Original scent first. Blush smells pretty strong. I can smell it even after a few hours. I normally used it in the morning before I left for work. My scalp can get a little bit greasy eventhough I’ve washed my hair the night before so Batiste Dry Shampoo solved my oily scalp problem. It is something that has been bothering me for a very long time.

Have you jump onto Batiste bandwagon yet? I’m so glad I did because I have greasy hair the next day after hair wash and this quick fix solved my problem. If you’ve tried Batiste, which is your favourite scent?
