Dirty Hair Secret

I don’t use A LOT of styling products on my hair (besides the normal... mousse, root lifter, leave in conditioner, thickener, and hairspray... okay, okay I use a lot!), but typically I only wash my hair every two or three days. It feels very dried out if I wash it everyday. However, sometimes between washes I notice that my hair can start looking a little bit oily at the roots. And, lets be honest... I just don't like having to wash, blow dry, and style my hair every single day! I like my extra 20 minutes of sleep! My favorite quick fix for this problem is dry shampoo! Seriously, changed my life! Sometimes I even go 4 to 5 days with out washing it... wear it down the 1st couple of days, then wear it up the next couple! But after the 5 day mark I even gross myself out a little! Ha! But my color has always lasted a long healthy life because I open it up while washing it, leading to color fading. There are just endless things I can rave about with this product.

Dry shampoo has been a major trend the last couple of years, which makes it easy to find at your local salon or even drugstore. Dry shampoo is a powder (packaged in a shaker jar or aerosol can) that is applied to the roots of your hair. Once applied, it instantly soaks up extra oil to keep your hair looking fresh and clean in between washes. And smells really good! You just spray (or shake a little powder... I've used both and prefer the spray!) right at your roots. Let sit for a couple minutes, then pretend like your shampooing your hair. Really rub your scalp good so it absorbs all the extra oils! Voila! Fresh, clean hair! And, as an added bonus of this wonderful miracle product, it adds amazing texture and body to your hair! (Sometimes I spray a little at my roots the day I wash my hair, just so its not as soft! Gives it a little dirty feeling so I can work with it better.)


Try is for yourself if you've never used a dry shampoo, it will change your life! And, for those of you that use it, what is your favorite brand? Always looking for new ones to try! Thanks for reading! Have a wonderful, dirty hair, kind of weekend!




Few of my faves...




Tigi Rockaholic Dry Shampoo  $15
Lasts a long time, and the smell is great!

Oscar Blandi Dry Shampoo   $21
If you want to pay a little extra, this is amazing!! Smells amazing, and works so well! Definitely my favorite!

Cheapies...


Pssst Dry Shampoo   $5
This has always been my backup dry shampoo! (Leaves a little white residue, but if you scrub it in real good, it works pretty well!)

Baby Powder  $3
Soaks up oil very well, but leaves hair looking a little dull and gray. Plus I'm not the biggest fan of the baby powder smell! But, whenever I run out... this stuff still works pretty good!
