As helpful as dry shampoo can be for absorbing oil and quickly refreshing hair in between washes, it sometimes leaves a powdery residue and can often be so drying that it's damaging—fortunately, Batiste is introducing a series of Waterless Cleansing Foams that can be used in the place of dry shampoo. Thanks to the foam formula, the quickly refreshing hair products provide moisture for normal to dry hair without leaving behind any white residue.
The softening, refreshing foam formula looks like a thick mousse when dispensed from the canister and Batiste notes that "The product will feel wet at first, but it’s an illusion! It will dry in 60 seconds." The light, fast-drying and non-sticky product is available in varieties like hibiscus root, cactus water, coconut milk and almond oil.
