The Best Affordable Hair Refreshing Overnight Dry Shampoo

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.

Who Is It Best For?

Great for women with oily roots or who want to extend the time between washes.
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.

Where to Buy

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!

Jhirmack Silver Plus Shampoo Reviewed

Great Shampoo For Gray, Blonde, or Bleached Hair

My choice of shampoo happens to be Jhirmack Silver Plus. I have been using this shampoo for quite a long time to help my graying hair look better.

I wish that I had inherited my paternal grandmother's hair which was the most beautiful white. My father also has gorgeous white hair. I, on the other hand, got my mother's genes when it came to hair. My hair has a mousy kind of dull look if I do not use the Silver Plus shampoo by Jhirmack. As you can see from the picture on the left, the shampoo brightens my hair and gives it a nice white look.

I am not embarrassed to have gray hair, in fact I embrace the aging color that adorns my head. I sometimes laugh that I would never consider trying to hide the gray because I have earned every single gray hair on my head. I don't mind being gray, but I do want it to look nice and not dull and unattractive in color.

Silver Plus is formulated for gray, blonde, bleached or highlighted hair. The shampoo has a purple color and there is something about that purple that tones down any brassy or yellow tones in the hair.

Silver Plus Shampoo

The shampoo has Green Tea Extract and Folic Acid which help to strengthen and condition my hair. Macadamia Nut Oil moisturizes my rough and limp hair without making my scalp feel greasy. I find that I do not need to use a conditioner when using this shampoo but it may depend on how easily your hair might tangle whether you will need a conditioner or not. It is enough for my hair.

So, if you would like to tone down any brassiness to your hair or help your graying hair look whiter, I highly recommend this shampoo by Jhirmack called Silver Plus.
