A: Yes, Batiste Bare (Barely Scented) works on dark hair—just be sure to shake well, spray 12 inches away, massage in, and brush through to blend evenly. A tinted formula (like Batiste Dark Hair or Brunette) may offer a more seamless finish for very dark locks.

Brand expert
Q: Yesterday I purchased two Batiste Bare Dry Shampoos (5.71oz). Both cans say “Simply Scented” instead of “Barely Scented,” but the design appears identical. I’m just wondering—are these the same product, or is there a difference between the two? Thank you!
submitted by Firecracker8404 - 1 year ago
A: Thanks for reaching out! It's possible that packaging updates or regional variations might have led to different phrasing on the cans. Rest assured, if the design matches our Batiste Bare Dry Shampoo, it's the same barely-there scent you know and love. 💛

Q: Does this propellant release benzene?
submitted by ilovebutter - 3 years ago
A: Thank you for your question, ilovebutter. No, the propellant will not release benzene. We have confirmed with our propellant suppliers that the propellants used in our Batiste products do not contain benzene.

This bottle I picked up was 3/4 EMPTY with residue on the spout. Disappointed by pick up order.

Not barely scented lol
This scent is so strong. The barely scented part of the product description is laughable. At least I know to stick with original (which is tolerable) or unscented.
1 reply from The Batiste Team team - 2 months ago

Please call or text us at (800) 833-9532, or chat with us at www.batistehair.com, Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM ET, and please provide your case number: 07996015 so our team can help.

Quite of lot of scent
Has quite a lot of scent, not really as advertised as far as that goes. I prefer another brand but tried this today. Works to refresh hair but it would definitely drown out any perfume/cologne

good product but horrible shipping
product is excellent. Target shipping was horrible. Bought 3 hairspray and was put in a large box without packing it for shipping. All three cans were tossed around inside box and one of the caps destroyed. The product was not protected inside box. Will not order online again. This is not the first time this has happened. but will the last time I order online.

Great dry shampoo!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first time trying Batiste clean and light dry shampoo and I am impressed! One of the best dry shampoos I have tried! I got the unscented and now I want to try the other scents. I smelt some in the store and they smell amazing! I can’t wait to try more!

Decent for thin, oily hair
I have thin, oily hair that doesn’t typically do well with dry shampoo. Batiste, more so the barely there, works well enough in a pinch to save me from needing to wash my hair. It doesn’t take long for the oiliness of my hair to take over again, but it can help if I need to not look like a greasy mess for a few hours.

White residue
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used many dry shampoo with my locs post workouts. This one has left the worst white residue and dried out my scalp entirely too much. I waited a week, shampooed my hair and gave it another try thinking perhaps I used too much only yo get the same results. My hair and scalp are not fans at all.

Better Scent than Original
I bought this because I really don't care for the scent of the original. This one I don't find has a lighter scent, but it is a much more pleasant scent. It does its job by reducing the appearance of oily roots. Good product :)

Neutral Scent
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the feel, or should I say, lack of feel, this variety provides. It is so lightweight, and the scent is very neutral and non-overbearing.

Works but VERY scented
This works well like the other Batiste dry shampoos but this is EXTREMELY scently hence the lack of stars.

So sorry for the delayed response, Stephanie! We’re glad it worked well, but we hear you. The scent was stronger than expected, and that’s definitely not the “barely scented” experience we aim for. 💛 We’d love to chat and see how we can make this right. Please call or text us at (800) 833-9532, or chat with us at www.batistehair.com, Monday–Friday, 9 AM–5 PM ET, and please provide your case number: 07869794.
