Review & Comparison: Girlz Only Haircare Dry Shampoos

Girlz Only Haircare Dry Shampoo range consists of six dry shampoos; one for Blonde hair (the one I skipped on), one for Dark and Deep Brown Hair, Hazy Days, Party Nights, Dawn ‘Til Dusk and the XXL Volume-Plus one. I will try to sum up all the impressions I've gathered during these past months and I do hope you'll find this comparison useful. I'll start with the Girlz Only Hazy Days Dry Shampoo which claims to revive hair between washes. Now, I have a favourite among all of the five picks and two runner-ups. Hazy Days is my second runner-up. It comes in a 150ml tube (as all other also do) which is decent, especially for the extra low price point of approx 2$. I like how they managed to make every tin of a relatively interesting and unique design. You cannot expect miracles but the pale lilac tin, ornamented with a floral pattern does look decent. It does do what it says on the tin. It really does give extra oomph to the hair without weighing it down. It doesn't leave a white trail on the places you've sprayed it which is amazing. It also smells amazing. It is of a very nice, fresh yet floral fragrance. This scent has never made me run to open my windows. 

Linija Girlz Only sampona za suho pranje kose se sastoji od ukupno sest sampona; jedan je za plavu kosu, zatim sampona za tamnu i tamno smedju kosu, Hazy Days, Party Nights, Dawn ‘Til Dusk i XXL Volume-Plus sampona za suho pranje kose. Pokusati cu ukratko iznijeti sve utiske kojih se prilicno nakupilo tokom proteklih mjeseci te se nadam da ce vam zaista ovo poredjenje biti od koristi. Pocinjemo sa Girlz Only Hazy Days samponom za suho pranje kose koji tvrdi da ce kosi podariti zivost izmedju pranja. Odmah da vam kazem kako imam favorita od svih pet, a iza njega odmah slijede utjesne nagrade. Neka to budu drugo i trece mjesto. Hazy Days je kod mene na trecem mjestu. Dolazi upakovan u bocu od 150ml (kao i ostali samponi) koja djeluje pristojno, narocito ako imate na umu smijesno nisku cijenu od 4,50KM. Dopada mi se kako je svaka boca razlicita i relativno interesantnog dizajna. Necemo ocekivati dizajnerski defile po ovoj cijeni ali ova njezno lavandasta bocica sa cvijetnim uzorkom djeluje sasvim solidno. Po pitanju efektnosti, cini ono sto i obecava. Stvarno kosa ljepse izgleda, nekako punije a nema naknadnog slijepljivanja kose. Lijepog je svjezeg i cvijetnog mirisa koji meni nije naporan.

Next up is the first runner-up, which is the Girlz Only XXL Volume-Plus Dry Shampoo. This does not, I repeat, does not leave my hair gray! I have not seen a white mark on my hair, no matter how much or how close I spray it. You'd really need to go crazy to get a white cast out of this one. The thing I like about all Girlz Only Dry Shampoos is that they're not overly powdery. They are even “dewy” when in contact with hair and in sheer seconds they soak up almost all the oil from the scalp. I love the fragrance of this one. It's very fresh and fruity, not overpowering at all. It acts like a classy deodorant which fills the room with its gentle scent. I am really happy with the fact that it does exactly what it says on the tin. It makes my hair fluffy and really boosts its volume. I love how the lightweight the formula is and you can literally do whatever you wish with your hair after application. I will definitively repurchase this pinkish bottle of goodness. 

Slijedeci sampon, koji se nalazi kod mene na drugom mjestu, je Girlz Only XXL Volume-Plus sampon za suho pranje kose. On uopste, i ponoviti cu, uopste ne ostavlja bijeli trag na kosi. Nikako nisam mogla primjetiti ni najmanji trag praha, bez obzira koliko ga nanosila ili sa koje udaljenosti. Morali bi bas da ludujete sa njim kako bi vas neprijatno iznenadio bjelinom. Ono sto jako volim kod svih Girlz Only sampona za suho pranje je to sto uopste nisu previse puderasti. Cak su blago “vlazni” kada ih svjeze nanesete na kosu a u roku bukvalno par sekundi pokupe skoro pa i posljednji trag viska sebuma sa tjemena. Kod ovog samponcica mi se dopada i miris. Dosta je svjez i vockast. Ne brinite, ne zagusuje uopste. Ponasa se kao dezodorans koji blago ispuni sobu njeznim mirisom. I iznimno sam zadovoljna sto ispunjava ono sto i obecava. Kao da malo “napuse” kosu koja dobije na volumenu, prilicno ocigledno. Dopada mi se i lagana formula koja omogucava da nakon nanosenja kosu stilizujete po zelji. Ovu ruzicastu bocicu cu definitivno ponovo kupiti. 

My absolute favourite, not only from the Girlz Only range but in general (out of all dry shampoos I've tried) is the Girlz Only Dark and Deep Brown Hair Dry Shampoo. OMG! This is fabulous and amazing, and I feel like I've hit the jackpot with this one for real. I cannot do it justice by any means with this review, that's how awesome it is. I even prefer the coloring of the tin since it is in chocolate hues, and is a bit darker and least reflective of the rest, it is also much easier to read what it actually says on the tin. I know that some gals got frustrated with how pale the font on some tins is. Regarding the product itself, I would be brave enough to say that this is a perfect, and I mean purrrfect dry shampoo for brown (especially) and even black hair. It smells amazing but the scent is perhaps too much during summer since it smells like chocolate and cocoa butter, very gourmand. I will buy tons of these during winter. I love the fact that there is zero chance to get anything, anything at all on the hair to show. It seems clear since there's virtually no residue on the hair. But I have noticed during one hair wash that the foam of the shampoo was colored lightly brown. I have excessively used it during that week, I won't deny but the thing is – it doesn't leave white marks because it has some brown tint in it. I have only noticed that during one wash only and I have honestly gone a bit overboard with it that specific week. But let me reassure you that it does not stain pillows or towels, nothing at all. It is amazing stuff and this would be one of the best discoveries beauty of the year for me.

Neosporni, ubjedljivi favorit ne samo medju Girlz Only samponima za suho pranje, nego i medju ostalim koje sam isprobala je Girlz Only sampon za tamnu i duboko smedju boju kose. Koje blazenstvo u bocici! Ovo je nesto fascinantno kvalitetno. Uistinu izvrstan proizvod sa kojim se uvijek osjecam kako sam sebi priustila nesto odlicno za malo novca. Naprosto znam da vam necu moci putem recenzije docarati koliko sam njim zadovoljna, no pokusati cu. Cak mi se i pakovanje vise dopada nego kod ostalih jer je u cokoladnim tonovima. Posto je tamnije boje, sve sto pise na bocici se jasnije moze procitati. Znam da su se neke djevojke zalile na dizajn ostalih boca kod kojih, zbog reflektivne povrsine, slova nisu razgovjetna. Sto se proizvoda koji se krije unutar pakovanja tice, biti cu hrabra i reci cu da je ovo savrsen sampon za suho pranje kose za crnu a pogotovo smedju kosu. Mirise fantasticno no mozda je malo zagusljiv tokom ljeta jer mirise na cokoladu i kakao puter, bas gurmanski. Vec planiram da se opskrbim za hladnijih dana kada cu istinski uzivati i u mirisu. Super je sto bukvalno ne postoji sansa da bilo kakav sloj proizvoda primjetite na kosi. Kao da je proziran. Tako sam mislila dok nisam tokom jednog pranja kose primjetila da mi je pjena od sampona obojena u blagu boju kafe. Sedmicu prije tog pranja kose sam ovaj sampon koristila kada god sam stigla. Necu ni sporiti da sam ga zloupotrebljavala ali – uopste ne ostavlja traga na jastucima, peskirima ili bilo gdje drugo. Ne bih ni primjetila da ovaj sampon ima smedju boju da nisam sa njim tada pretjerivala. Ovo je fantastican proizvod koji u mojim ocima spada u najbolja beauty otkrica godine.

Finally, we have the Girlz Only Party Nights Dry Shampoo and Girlz Only Dawn ‘Til Dusk Dry Shampoo. I have mentioned them together because I find them to be exactly identical, apart from the smell. That being said, they are my least favourite dry shampoos out of this entire range. Why? Because these do leave white stains. I mean, these are far, faar better than both Balea offerings. Yet the bar was set so high with the tin for dark hair, now I cannot tolerate to go for anything less. Party Nights Dry Shampoo smells fruity, has the same light texture as the rest of these and does a more than average job of soaking up the oils. It just leaves that white cast. I mean, the way I use all of these is that I spray them on my roots in sections. As I've mentioned, they feel a bit “moisturizing” at first. Then I massage them in with my fingers and then I brush my hair upside-down. I get great volume, my hair smells amazing but in some areas I need to brush my hair again to get rid of the white color. The same goes for the Dawn ‘Til Dusk Dry Shampoo. It acts pretty much the same with the white residue, the only difference is that it smells really nice – very refreshing and citrus-y. All Girlz Only shampoos can last up to a month with moderate use. I sometimes go overboard and they last me 3 weeks. I have not experienced any scalp irritation nor have I experienced that they dried out my scalp or hair. But, that could be due to my oily roots. I would go for a lighter and only occassional application for dry hair. That being said, the top three dry shampoos are a total bargain since they do a spectacular job for just 2$! 

Napokon, imamo jos dva sampona na redu; Girlz Only Party Nights suhi sampon i Girlz Only Dawn ‘Til Dusk sampon za suho pranje. Spominjem ih u tandemu jer su u sustini ovo dva identicna sampona. Jedino po cemu se razlikuju je miris. I kada smo vec kod njih, oni su mi najmanje dragi od svih spomenutih. Zasto? Zato sto oni ostavljaju bijeli trag na kosi. I pored toga su daleko, daleko bolji od oba Balea sampona za suho pranje kose. Jednostavno je standard visoko postavio sampon za tamnu kosu, tako da vise ne zelim pristati ni na sto manje od toga sto mi on nudi. Party Nights sampon mirise vocno, takodjer je lagane teksture kao i ostali te cini vise nego dobar posao po pitanju upijanja masnoce. Ali bijeli trag je tu. Nacin na koji koristim sve suhe sampone, pa i ove, je da razdijelim kosu u pramencice na koje jedan, po jedan pri korijenu nanesem suhi sampon. Kao sto sam spomenula, Girlz Only samponi ostavljaju na pocetku “vlazan” osjecaj koji potom nestane. Umasiram sampon prstima u tjeme i iscesljam kosu cetkom dok mi je glava spustena skoro pa do poda. Dobijem super volumen, kosa mi odlicno mirise ali na nekim mi mjestima ostane jos bijelog traga koji naknadno moram iscesljati. Sve spomenuto vrijedi za Dawn ‘Til Dusk sampon za suho pranje kose. Ista je situacija sa bijelim tragom, jedino mi se kod njega miris jos vise dopada nego kod prethodnog – osvjezavajuce je citrusan. Svi mi Girlz Only samponi za suho pranje kose sa normalnom upotrebom mogu potrajati do mjesec dana. Posto mi se sa vremena na vrijeme desi da pretjerujem sa koristenjem, traju mi realno oko 3 sedmice. Nisam iskusila nikakve iritacije, nisu mi isusili tjeme niti samu kosu. Mozda zato sto mi je tjeme masno dok sto se tice suhe kose, preporucila bih dosta rijedje da se koriste ovakvi proizvodi i u manjoj kolicini. Nakon svega, od srca ih svih pet mogu preporuciti no moja top tri favorita su posebno isplativa jer daju fantasticne rezultate za samo 4,50KM!
