Batiste, the nation's hair hero found in handbags, bedrooms and bathrooms galore. With a brand new range of products hitting the shelves, I could not resist trying them out!
Batiste is a brand that I have always been loyal to. When my hair is looking tired, or I'm attempting to squeeze an extra few hours (or a day) in without washing my hair, a spray of dry shampoo really gives an oomph (along with an amazing scent!)
Known for their award winning line of dry shampoos and plumping powder, Batiste have taken their products to the next level with their brand new Batiste Stylist range; a line of six products fit for all types of hair. The packaging and design now appears to be more sophisticated, yet still sassy. The line still features the ever bright, eye catching patterns staying true to the roots of the brand's vision. The newly released range includes: Smooth It Frizz Tamer, Oomph My Locks XXL Plumping Powder and XXL Volume Spray, Hold Me Hairspray, Texture Me Texturising Spray and Shield My Lock Heat + Shine Spray.
For the past week I have been trying out the XXL Volume Spray and Heat + Shine Spray.
Shield My Lock Heat + Shine Spray -
Press Release - 'Keeps your locks looking hot without the heat damage with our 2 in 1 heat protection and shine spray. Shielding against heat up to 230 degress your locks will stay protected against even the hot styling tools'
For the past year, I've been obsessed with the Garnier The Sleek Resister Oil (coconut oil) for heat protection but after using this multiple times I may have changed my mind. What I much prefer about this is the fact that I can just lightly spray over my hair instead of spreading oil along the ends, usually resulting in sticky fingers! A few squirts before straightening resulted in soft, silky hair which is much more than I expected. Easy and effective, this is one product that I'm likely to go back and back to again, well done Batiste!
Oomph My Locks XXL Volume Spray -
Press release - 'Take your hair to new heights with this instant backcomb in a bottle. (---) Infused with Keratin and Inca Inchi Oil known to help strengthen and care so your big do stays healthy too.'
At first I was a bit hesitant about trying this as the Heavenly Volume Dry Shampoo really dried out my hair. Having excessively thick hair I had to be weary of the amount of product I was using so I didn't end up with a lion's mane! I was very happy to see that this product is definitely an improvement; my hair didn't feel dry and lifeless but still had a lift of volume. However, this did act well against my hair when I used it to add some height to a pony tail; the little extra I needed for my look. I wouldn't say this is my favourite product I've tried, you do get a lift of volume but not as advertised. I would consider purchasing, but would head straight to the rest of the range first.
Overall I am really impressed with the range, both the packaging and the product have proved that Batiste is more than a bottle of pick-me-up dry shampoo! The new visuals and branding are excellent, along with a fantastic and affordable range of products to make both you and your hair look and feel good.
