Product of the Day- Dry Shampoo

If you have read my blog regularly or if you know anything about me you will 

know that Dry Shampoo is a holy grail product for me. I could not live without this in 

my beauty routine. I literally only wash my hair once or twice a week now and my hair 

looks at it's very best when dirty and dry shampoo applied. 

I frequently go through different dry shampoo's just to test and try various lines 

and see what I like. I've gone through many bottles and they all pretty much do the job, 

but I have found some that I really do like and one's that I don't. 

My latest try/find is by Batiste Hint of Color for dark and dark brown hair. 

This really caught my attention b/c the only bad thing I can think of with dry shampoo is most

come out white and with dark hair you have to spend a little time blending in. So, how awesome

to have it come out of the bottle already dark?!?! Well, that would be awesome if it did that, but

honestly it doesn't. It still has a white powdery finish, but blends in very easily. 

Other than the color not living up to it's claims I have no other complaints. This product 

is so wonderful. It has a great smell, gives lots of volume to roots when your hair is oily, and 

refreshes your hair without washing. If you have never tried dry shampoo I HIGHLY 

recommend this stuff. It has become such a staple in my routine that has saved me time in 

washing, blow drying, styling and on top of that just makes my hair look better and more 

healthy! Batiste is a great brand to try b/c it's sold at drugstores, and Ulta and is affordable. 

This bottle retails for $8.99

You can get Batiste in Hint of Color for Blonde hair, Batiste original scent, Batiste

Blush, and Batiste Tropical. The scent of this one is the best I have tried in their line. I don't

know how to describe it. It's kind of powdery in a shea butter/beach kind of smell. Maybe. 

Do you use dry shampoo? If so, what are your favorites? 

Dry Shampoo, my BFF

I am most excited about this post!

WHY?

Because Dry Shampoo is my absolute most favorite product and has been for the past 3 years. I use dry shampoo on pretty much a daily basis. I have gotten my hair to a point where I only have to wash with shampoo 2 days a week!! The other days... this is my GO TO PRODUCT!!

So, what's so great about dry shampoo?

It is perfect for cleansing, refreshing, and volumizing in between shampoo and conditioning.

No water is needed. Just apply to roots or where hair feels oily and spray into hair like you would hairspray, holding 6 to 8 inches away from your head. Wait 30 seconds and brush your hair... or don't... sometimes I just use my fingers and rub it in if I want a more tousled look.

The other main benefit to this product is it makes your life SO EASY!! I don't know about you, but i have thick, curly hair and it's a pain to wash, blow dry, and style every day! No thanks! If you have really thin or oily hair then you might not be able to go as long as I do without shampooing your hair, but you can still benefit from this.

It's great for traveling and on the go if you feel kind of greasy or oily and want a quick hair booster.

I really cannot express to you enough how much I love Dry Shampoo and would be lost without it.

Here are a few different kinds I like and currently have been using:

On the left we have John Frieda Luxurious Volume

(good smell, leaves no residue or mess)

In the middle we have Salon Graphic Dry Shampoo

(fragrance free, blends great, no residue)

On the far right we have Tresemme' Fresh Start Shampoo

(sweet smell, good hold, very affordable)

All of the above products can be purchased at your local drug store.

I have never personally owned the bigsexyhair Volumizing Dry Shampoo below, but my hair stylist uses it on me after he washes and styles my hair to go ahead and let the product be working and preventing the oil from setting in. He loves this one and I will try it at some point.

Here is another I have used several times and enjoyed. Rockaholic by Tigi. This one has a very sweet smell to it if you like that. Blends in well with dark hair and does the job!

So, give your hair a break from all the washing, products, blow-drying, and styling and let it be lazy this summer! It needs and deserves a break too, ya know?!
