Batiste! You can get it from Boots & Superdug for about £2.50. You can get mini cans of it too but they're a bit of a rip off. They also do coloured versions (though not for red hair yet, grr) and different scents. I'll be taking a can with me!

Batiste for Festi use is best. I use the Toni&Guy one at home for a bit of a refresh as I find it's lighter and doesn't appear as "powdery"... but Glasto is such a long time that you need something with a bit more power!

I get the mini cans, purely for packing purposes! x

Boots do their own, think it is Boots Expert Dry Shampoo, I got some a few months ago and it's very good, seems to rub in better than Batiste too.

I will be washing my hair as I can't survive the whole 5 days without doing so, but I'll also be taking dry shampoo to refresh when needed!

Agree with the post earlier, the Tropical Batiste has a very strong smell, the one in a pink can is quite nice though!

yepp batiste is good :)

Ive got peroxide blonde hair, so once brushed out it was invisable. Howver, my friend with darker blonde had to really brush it out because it showed so much!

Also, dont do it every day like if you wash it everyday as after 2 or so days it wont work it just gunks ya hair up.. What i do is leave it untill my hair is looking a bit dull (about 2 days) and spray it on then the next day if its crap i chuck it back, put a head scarf on and it looks funkay!!

Dry shampoo is really just talc powder in a can - I use Johnson Baby powder dust a bit into my hands and then rub through my roots. It's sooooooo much cheaper than a any of the cans!

I've tried talc in the past, but I have bright red hair and talc makes it look really dull, whereas if I brush batiste through properly it looks fine :)

Wish I had hair that wasn't quite so high maintenance, I'd save myself so much money!

Sorry, pardon my ignorance on this subject but what is dry shampoo? I have never heard of it before. Sounds like it might get me through Glasto with out going insane or freezing my head off under a tap/bucket. Might have to get me some when we touch down......

      An interesting thing this. Having seem them several times (some of their gigs veer into back catalogue niche territoty), I partly agree they arent Pyramid material (theough modern defeinition of 'bangers' although I could see them headlinging the Other stage) I can't think of another festival in the world that they couldn't headline - Reading, IoW, BST, Rock Wercheter, Roskilde, etc etc.

      I'm sure you like silly music too but is it because it's not a Download traditional type act it gets looked down on? Rock am Ring booked them, and they sell every year so don't actually need to   Andy going and being replaced is the best thing that could have happened to Download, someone fresh to mix it up a bit rather than just a complete rotation. The only reason Andy booked ST in ti headline too was because he loves them and he was going on to manage them. Nah, Andy booked FOB in a year where over 20 acts were asked, I'll guarantee if they get Blink and having had Green Day they did not need 20 bands to come to those. FOB are also not one that have been booked in Europe to headline by anyone other than Reading as co-headliner as far as I can see. They weren't a ooh god yes they've booked FOB.

      I think it's just a slight shift in target audience of the festival, Andy also booked FOB    A lot of young people (me included) are nostalgic for the 2000's pop punk and nu metal rather than the 80's legacy bands    It's just the festival moving with the times I think Andy would of done the same    Although they are still booking some legacy acts like GNR but that doesn't seem to have gone well ticket sales wise
