Non-wash day? No worries! Batiste Waterless Cleansing Foam makes it easy to refresh your locks! The Cleanse + Hydrate with Cactus Water is just one of four new cleansing foams. This particular version contains Optunia Ficus-Indica Flower Extract, also known as the Prickly Pear Cactus, which is packed with antioxidants, polyunsaturated fatty acids and amino acids that all help to replenish and moisturize hair.
Batiste is known for their beloved Dry Shampoo, so I was super excited to try this, however, I couldn’t get it to work for me in the expected way. My roots are extremely oily, even with second day hair, so it takes a good dry shampoo to help to combat it. Sometimes I can get away with a good dry shampoo, but this cleansing foam sounded like a miracle treatment for my overly oily hair.
I did exactly as advised: shake well, dispense onto hand, massage into dry hair until absorbed and wait 60 seconds to dry. It instantly weighed down my roots and made them more oily, with worse texture and appearance. It took my just slightly oily roots to over-the-top wet and dirty looking. I experienced no “cleansing” action and was thoroughly disappointed in that regard.
On the other hand, I was able to repurpose it to refresh the mid to end portion of my blonde hair. This section is typically dry and frizzy the next day, so I was able to work in Waterless Cleansing Foam to help nourish and re-hydrate. I personally like to dispense the foam and work from the middle down. I also used a wetted brush to work through and get instant revival, but this step could be skipped if need be.
I will add that this cleansing foam smells amazing, which is another benefit to adding to second day hair (just not my roots)! This product is free of phthalates, sulfates, dyes and parabens. I also saw no white cast on my dark roots.
So unfortunately, I couldn’t get this to work the way it was intended and will stick to using dry shampoo. My hair type is medium thickness with natural dark roots with dyed blonde for the majority of my hair. I think my troubles could be because the ingredients add shine, which just doesn’t work with my hair type, but it just may work if your hair is not so oily.
