I wear my hair quite long and, at age 70, it's thinning noticeably at the crown. My stylist recommends shampooing only twice a week to avoid drying it out further. However, by day three, it tends to start looking a bit limp at the crown. So, I usually use a dry shampoo to absorb the excess oil near the scalp.
Unfortunately, most dry shampoos leave my hair straw-like, and many have strong fragrances. Worse yet, many also feel heavy, weighing my hair down instead of giving it the lift I'm looking for. So, I was delighted to discover the Batiste Dry Shampoo Overnight Deep Cleanse that I'm reviewing today.

Batiste Dry Shampoo Overnight Deep Cleanse
Batiste is a well-known brand in the world of dry shampoos, and their Overnight Deep Cleanse Dry Shampoo promises to refresh hair while you sleep, absorbing excess oil, impurities, and product buildup. As someone who understands the importance of keeping hair fresh and voluminous—especially for women over 50 who may struggle with thinning or dry hair—this product caught my attention.
Key Claims & Features
- Designed to work overnight, absorbing oil, dirt, and buildup while you sleep.
- Infused with charcoal and baking soda for deep cleansing.
- Lightweight, invisible formula that won’t leave a white residue.
- Features a calming, relaxing fragrance that isn't overpowering like that of many other brands and formulas.
First Impressions
The scent is fresh and slightly powdery, with a hint of lavender—pleasant without being overpowering.
Application & Texture
- The spray is fine and evenly distributed, making application easy.
- Section the hair (I did sections about an inch apart) and, holding the can 12 inches away from your scalp, spray the dry shampoo at the roots along each section.
- When you have finished applying, massage it in.
- Unlike some dry shampoos that leave behind a chalky residue, this one absorbed quickly and felt weightless.
- Apply at bedtime and, in the morning, massage again to see fresher, fuller-looking hair!
Results in the Morning
- My hair felt noticeably fresher, with less oil and buildup.
- It didn’t add as much volume as some daytime dry shampoos, but the hair felt soft and manageable and noticeably fuller (see my before and after photos).
- No white cast or stickiness, making it great for dark-haired users.
Bonus: Great for a Daytime Refresh
- Although Batiste makes regular dry shampoo formulas for daytime use, I actually prefer this one for that purpose as well when my hair is looking a bit limp and could use some extra body.

- Ideal for fine or thinning hair, as it won’t weigh hair down.
- Best for nighttime users who prefer a fresh start in the morning or who prefer to shampoo in the evening.
Potential Downsides
- The scent, while pleasant, could bother you if you’re sensitive to fragrances, although I found it quite mild.

Final Verdict
Batiste Dry Shampoo Overnight Deep Cleanse is a fantastic overnight refresh for those with oily or thinning hair or who shampoo less frequently. It’s a lightweight, residue-free formula that absorbs grease without the stiffness of traditional dry shampoos. While it won’t provide dramatic volume, it definitely provides a lift and is a perfect low-maintenance solution for waking up with cleaner, fresher hair.
Would I recommend it? Yes, especially for women over 50 who want a no-fuss way to keep their hair looking fresh without frequent washing!
