Fast oil control and instant body—great for fine hair, but watch for white cast on dark tones.
Tired of greasy roots and flat hair a day or two after washing? When you don’t have time for a full wash and blow-dry—after the gym, on travel, or between busy mornings—you need something that soaks up oil and gives real body without fuss.
Batiste Dry Shampoo, Volumizing promises a speedy rescue: it absorbs grease, adds texture and lift, and smells fresh—plus the 5.71 oz size is easy to toss in a bag. It’s a reliable pick-me-up for fine or limp hair, though darker tones may need careful application to avoid visible residue and a slightly gritty feel.
Batiste Volumizing Dry Shampoo 5.71 oz
A fast, reliable pick-me-up that revives roots and gives hair instant body between washes. It’s especially strong at oil control and adding texture, though darker hair types may need careful application to avoid visible residue.
Batiste Volumizing Dry Shampoo: Add Lift and Freshness
Batiste Volumizing Dry Shampoo is a waterless hair refresher designed to absorb oil, lift roots, and add texture without a full wash. Packaged in a compact 5.71 oz aerosol can, this formula is built around oil-absorbing powders (talc and silica) and enhanced with keratin to give hair a fuller, more textured appearance. The fragrance blend of grapefruit, rose, and amber gives a clean, slightly fruity finish that complements daytime or evening use.
Key features and what they mean for you
How the formula works (plain language)
Batiste’s Volumizing Dry Shampoo uses a simple, familiar approach: fine powders cling to oily sebum and dirt at the roots, removing the weighed-down look and restoring lift. The keratin in the blend helps each strand feel a bit thicker and more textured, which improves hold and styling ease. Because the formula is waterless, the effect is immediate — spray, wait a few seconds, and refresh with a quick massage.
Benefits of the ingredients in practical terms:
Performance by hair type (what to expect)
| Hair Type | Typical Result | Tips/Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Fine / Limp | Strong boost in visible volume and texture | Apply sparingly near roots, tease gently for hold |
| Straight / Medium | Noticeable root lift and refresh | Work product into roots with fingertips to avoid sheen |
| Oily Roots | Effective absorption; extends time between washes | Reapply to targeted areas rather than an all-over blast |
| Dark Hair | Volume delivered, but risk of white cast | Hold can farther away, blend with a brush or fingers, or use dark-hair specific formulas |
| Curly / Coily | Can refresh and reduce greasiness at roots | Use minimal product to avoid crunchy feeling in curls |
How to use — step-by-step (fast and foolproof)
- Shake the can well before use.
- Hold the can 8–12 inches away from dry hair.
- Spray at the roots in short bursts where oil accumulates.
- Wait 10–20 seconds for powders to absorb oil.
- Massage or rub with fingertips to distribute product and break up any visible residue.
- Style or tousle hair for added volume and texture.

Packaging, portability, and travel considerations
The 5.71 oz aerosol fits most carry-on size restrictions for checked luggage (double-check airline rules for aerosols and TSA limits). The can’s size makes it convenient for everyday carry — tuck it in a gym bag, office drawer, or travel kit. The spray nozzle disperses a fine mist; however, because it’s powder-based, keep it upright and avoid direct contact with eyes.
Ingredients & safety notes
Value, sustainability, and final practical thoughts
Batiste positions itself as an accessible, mass-market dry shampoo brand — the Volumizing formula is priced to be affordable for frequent use. The single can offers many applications for daily root touch-ups, so cost per use can be low. Regarding sustainability, aerosol cans are often recyclable where local facilities accept them, but recycling rules vary; empty the can fully and check local guidelines.

Bottom line
If you need a fast, effective root refresher that also delivers visible lift, this volumizing dry shampoo is an easy reach. It particularly shines for fine or oily-rooted hair, commuters, gym-goers, and anyone who values convenience and immediacy. Just apply carefully on darker hair tones and expect a slightly textured finish rather than silky softness.
FAQ
You can use it as a quick refresh between washes, but avoid heavy full-head applications every day. Powder can build up at the roots and on the scalp if used continuously.
If you use dry shampoo frequently, wash with a gentle shampoo every 2–3 real washes or sooner if your scalp feels itchy or greasy. Use a clarifying shampoo once every 2–4 weeks to remove buildup.
It is formulated to refresh hair without stripping color. It does not act like a surfactant-based cleanser that removes dye.
To prevent dulling, alternate dry shampoo use with regular water-based washing and use color-safe shampoos and conditioners as part of your routine.
Use targeted application and blend well to reduce visible residue.
Finishing with a quick brush or blow-dry on cool helps disperse any remaining powder.
Talc is an absorbent commonly used in powders. Concerns focus mainly on inhalation and possible contamination in non-cosmetic talc sources.
If you have specific health concerns, check the ingredient list for talc and silica, and consult your healthcare provider. Many dry shampoos now use alternative absorbents like starches or silica.
Yes. The volumizing formula gives grip and body that helps styles hold.
Avoid over-spraying the ends to prevent dryness and buildup.
You may notice firmer texture if you over-apply. The powder can feel gritty until it is worked in.
If hair still feels dry, smooth a tiny amount of leave-in conditioner or oil on the ends only.
Aerosols in carry-on bags must meet TSA liquid limits (generally 3.4 oz / 100 mL or smaller) and fit in a single quart-sized bag.
Larger aerosols are usually permitted in checked baggage subject to airline and international regulations. Always check current TSA rules and your airline ‘s policy before you travel.
Volumizing variants include ingredients aimed at adding body in addition to oil absorption.
Expect volumizing types to give more texture and hold, and to possibly leave slightly more residue than a standard oil-absorbing formula.
