A New Dry Shampoo Fave?

If you've been reading round these parts for a while, you'll most likely already know that when it comes to dry shampoo - I am all about good ol' Colab. I used to be a Batiste kinda gal, until Colab came onto the scene, with their lighter texture and residue-free formula that stole my heart and made them my personal go-to ever since. Honestly, I don't tend to use dry shampoo of any kind all that often (I prefer to actually 'properly' wash my hair) but when in need to just push my tresses that one day further, or simply if I need a little bit of volume and texture at the roots on 'normal' hair, dry shampoo is always something I like to have on hand. However, I recently got gifted the Soap and Glory 'RushOwer' Dry Shampoo and though initially a little dubious, I decided to give it a go anyway and see just how well it compares. Has it got the potential to be a new favourite of mine? Let's find out...

First of all, this stuff claims to be a 'scent-sational in-between washes quick fix'. Just what we all want from a good dry shampoo, right? It supposedly 'absorbs excess oil and dries invisible', whilst the 'Touch-Release technology gives your hair a gorgeous burst of mandarin rose and bergamot whenever you run your fingers through it'. Basically, it's seemingly a lot like Colab - with its effective formula, yet undetectable finish - and the apparent bonus of a long-lasting scent sounds like a pretty good bonus too! But, as with anything, whether or not it does actually work when put into practice is the real test and actually, I am rather impressed by this so far. I know, I know. The first time trying it out, I used it as I typically would with any dry shampoo - simply spraying a little amount onto any areas and rubbing it in slightly to diffuse it out - and it worked pretty darn well. What I'm really happy with is that, for me, it aligned itself more with the likes of Colab, rather than Batiste. Compared to Batiste, that does the job, but it's also pretty hefty and claggy with it, Soap and Glory's really is super lightweight and doesn't leave any 'white cast' in my hair at all, yet it still does actually works well at being an actual dry shampoo at the same time - much like my usual fave, Colab. I also surprisingly really enjoy the scent of the S&G offering - which I actually didn't think I would, seeing as I typically associate it mire with bath and body products - and though I wouldn't necessarily say it 'releases' every time you touch or move your hair, I definitely feel like it hangs around, which is always a good thing. All in all, I feel like I may or may not have found a new favourite in the dry shampoo department. Who would've thought it?
