In the video, they showed the dry shampoo, which contains hyaluronic acid and "absorbs oils, sweat and volumises hair".
It also costs £4 for 54g, compared to £26 for 56g of Aveda's much-loved Shampowder dry shampoo.

"Oooo a trip to Primark for me!" another added.
"If you see this, I need to try it!" a third insisted, tagging a friend.
Aveda's Shampowder shampoo has long been a favourite among beauty fans - particularly for the fact that it doesn't leave a white residue like its aerosol equivalents.
"Perfect for absorbing excess oil, impurities and sweat with powerful plant powders, this dry shampoo powder instantly adds volume and texture to refresh style," Aveda say of the product on their website.

Stacey Solomon's Rehab brand also has a powder-based formula, but it's still pricey at £24.
Despite that, reviewers rave about the Essential Dry Shampoo, with some going as far to call it "one of the best dry shampoos" they've ever used.

Primark makes huge new changes to kids' clothing after parent feedback – and opening hours are also set for a shake up
PRIMARK has finally changed kids' clothing designs after parents have spent months giving them feedback. The budget retailer loved by Brits has said it will make its clothing line more Advertisement 2 Primark have made their kids' clothing range more inclusive Credit: Alamy 2 It comes after parents and carers gave feedback on kids struggling with sensory issues due to clothing tags and seams Credit: Primark The clothing store has had feedback from parents and carers that kids struggling with sensory issues find neck tags particularly uncomfortable, so have launched a new range which gets rid of them. The changes will be made in core clothing lines so children can feel more comfortable. As a first step, the retailer will move away from neck labels across its kids clothing and nightwear as well as introducing seamless sock options. Across its kids ranges, Primark is removing neck labels from the backs of t-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies and pyjamas. Advertisement READ MORE ON PRIMARK Ahead of the This means more than 50% of Primark's kids' clothing will now be neck label free, including almost 70% of pyjamas, with an ambition to keep increasing this further. Seams in socks were also identified as another common source of discomfort in feedback to the retailer. In response, Primark has introduced a range of seamless and flat seamed socks.

We work at Primark - our 6 brand new summer must-haves including £10 top that gives you a gorgeous hourglass figure "This isn't about creating a new and special range, it's about improving our kids' clothes, thinking about inclusive design from the very start and removing or sometimes adding features , so that they work harder for more children and families. "We've started with removing neck labels and introducing more seamless socks – small changes that we heard from parents could make a big difference. "Our kids' clothing already represents the best value on the high street and we know how important this is right now. We will continue to listen to parents to understand what more we can do.' Advertisement To spot the new collection in stores, customers should look for the 'Extra Comfort' signage in store which includes symbols to show whether the product has no neck label. For those buying online, the retailer is rolling out a Some of the extra comfort items include: Boys joggers, starting from £3.50 Kids cosy PJ from £6.50 Kids 100% cotton PJ sets from £8 Sweatshirts from £3.50 Graphic tees from £1.80 Girls leggings from £1.80 7-pack seamless socks - £5 10-pack flat seam socks - £3.50 And that's not the only new initiative Primark is rolling out.

Video-sharing sites must enforce age verification or face huge fines
Robust age verification checks must be strictly enforced from today on video-sharing platforms based in Ireland. Video-sharing platforms headquartered in the EU are required to implement age verification measures to protect children from accessing harmful content, including pornography and violent material. These platforms must use age assurance techniques and provide parental controls. Failure to comply can result in significant penalties. Tech companies can now be fined up to € 20 million, or 10% of their turnover, whichever is greater, for failing to comply with the requirements under the new code. Robust age verification checks must be strictly enforced from today on video-sharing platforms based in Ireland. Pic: Getty Images The Online Safety Code, implemented by media regulator Coimisiún na Meán, mandates these measures. It applies to platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok, which have their European headquarters in Ireland. The new code also requires platforms to have systems for users to report harmful content, and for the platform to act on those reports. The age verification requirements are part of a broader effort to create a safer online environment for children and address harmful content such as cyberbullying and promotion of self-harm and eating disorders. Robust age verification checks must be strictly enforced from today on video-sharing platforms based in Ireland. Pic:These measures align with the EU Digital Services Act and the EU Terrorist Content Online Regulation. Coimisiún na Meán says that a person simply ticking a box to say they are over 18 will no longer be sufficient. Philip Arneill, head of education and innovation at CyberSafeKids, told RTÉ radio: 'What we are told is that this is the end of self-regulation by online service providers, social media platforms and the like. 'Some of the key things [from the code] is that it prohibits the uploading and sharing of restricted video content, which may be harmful to particularly younger people, such as [content about] eating disorders, self-harm and suicide. 'It's also required on the platforms to have robust parental controls that allow [parents] to restrict kids' access and, in addition, there will be clear and accessible ways to report violations.' Mr Arneill added that more than 84% of trends and usage research shows that younger users aged eight to 12 have one or more social media platforms, 'so it is up to these platforms [TikTok, Instagram etc] to figure this out and make sure they have age verification in place. 'Meta, for example, took a gross profit last year of $134billion (€115m) and we are often told it is difficult,' he said. 'Kids aged ten or 11 are smart enough to use older ages when gaining access. 'It's stretching the bounds of credibility to firstly suggest that these companies don't have the ability, talent and the resources to figure this out [new age limit rules] and for putting responsibility for that on other people, whether it's parents, educators, charities and whoever else. 'Responsibility has now shifted to them [companies]. Finally, their hands are being forced. After 12 to 24 months, we would want this reviewed to see if this is working.' Snapchat, which is used by many younger users, is not based here so will not be bound by the new regulations.

Astronomer CEO Andy Byron resigns following viral Coldplay concert video
The chief executive of New York-based tech firm Astronomer, Andy Byron, has stepped down after a viral video appeared to show two of the company's senior staff embracing at a Coldplay concert. The company said Mr Byron had resigned and the board had accepted it. A search for a new CEO will begin soon. In a statement, Astronomer said: 'As stated previously, Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met.' It added: 'The board will begin a search for our next chief executive as co-founder and chief product officer Pete DeJoy continues to serve as interim CEO.' Two executives who were caught having an alleged affair at a Coldplay concert have been placed on administrative leave. Pic: Instaagraace via TikTok Tech firm chief executive Andy Byron and a colleague went viral after a video from a Coldplay concert in Boston on 16 July showed them arm in arm during a crowd kiss cam. Appearing to joke about the scene, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin commented during the show: 'Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy.' The moment quickly gained traction online, racking up millions of views and prompting widespread speculation about the identities of those involved. While Astronomer previously said Mr Byron had been placed on leave, the company stopped short of confirming whether he was the man seen in the video. The pair immediately tried to hide their identities, and failed miserably. Pic: Instaagraace via TikTok In a statement posted to X on Friday, the company said: 'The Board of Directors has initiated a formal investigation into this matter, and we will have additional details to share very shortly.' Astronomer also clarified that another named staff member had not attended the event and that 'no other employees were in the video.' Mr Byron has not commented publicly, despite a fake statement purporting to be from him circulating online.
