Oily hair season is here again. I have some seriously curly hair (read: dry with a tendency to frizz) and it protests being washed. So, I have to deal with a sweaty, product ridden scalp for most of my week.
Sexy, right?
I find myself planning my hair wash days around the events of the week, and prioritizing my activities based on clean hair. I have used baby powder in my hair for years to mask the greasy roots and give my hair the volume it lacks after a couple of days of non washing.
I recently started experimenting with dry shampoo, and have really loved what I'm seeing. There are some that are leaps and bounds above others, and I have found one brand in particular that not only controls the oil, but builds volume and adds a touch of shine. There is no George Washington-esque white tint and the smell is heavenly. It smells nothing like a baby's bottom, or really any powder at all. It has a fresh, almost fruity smell that even got Micah sniffing my head.
With disturbing frequency actually.
It's Suave Professionals Keratin Infusion Dry Shampoo! It runs around $3-$4 in most drugstores, and is really the best low cost version out there that I've tried. It's light, smells gorgeous, and really builds volume and leaves my roots soft.
I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a light, great smelling dry shampoo that really leaves the hair feeling a bit cleaner.
We are twinsies! I bought the dry shampoo by sauve last night from cvs! Crazy! I am trying it tomorrow since I plan on NOT washing my hair tonight, hehe! I am really excited though because this is going to be life changing...and I hope I don't stop showering, haha!
ReplyDeleteReally?? It really is the most awesome stuff! I know, sometimes I worry that this is the easy way out and eliminates the needs for showers, period. I'm such a boy.
DeleteI LOVE dry shampoo. I am currently using Bed Head, but I'm running out. I'm definitely going to take your recommendation.

Both by Suave are great choices, my favorite so far by a long shot! And much cheaper than BedHead!

I highly recommend it! Good luck!
DeleteI definitely need to try this! My hair is limp and straight and requires washing pretty much every day, this is STILL difficult root season for me! I use baby powder too, but it totally does leave me looking like George Washington sometimes. Even if I have JUST washed my hair, if I ride my bike to work, it is already sad looking when I arrive. Definitely going to cart this around with me, especially for that price! Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, I feel ya. This is so fine that it really goes on without a trace. I have a ton of hair, but it's very fine and after being straightened, it needs all the help it can get. It gets oily so much quicker straight and I put a heck of a lot of work into it, so I want to extend the life of the blowout as long as possible. Plus, it gives it a little extra oomph!
DeleteI have been sporting the George Washington look forever...I just haven't found a dry shampoo that I like. I am definitely going to check this one out. Thanks for sharing! Great to finally meet you last night!

Oh good! I have so much fun with you last night, and we most definitely need to do another blate soon, before the weather turns on us :)
DeleteThanks for sharing! I've tried using the Tresemme one an I don't like it very much. I find it makes my bangs even greasier by the end of the day :( Not cool!
ReplyDeleteI have the Tresemme one but I want to try this!
ReplyDeleteI love this one so much more than the Tresemme one! Much cleaner feeling.
DeleteI will definitely be giving this a try! I have been using a Biolage dry shampoo, and for the price, it's only okay. I'm still on the hunt for one that doesn't give my dark hair a greyish tint.
