Hair On The Brain

I’ve already spilled the beans today that I don’t use shampoo — only conditioner — but what about those in between days when you don’t have time for a full wash and blow dry? I usually throw my hair in a ponytail on those days, but my bangs need a little extra help. Dry shampoo, which absorbs extra oil, is the answer. They also create volume at your roots and make your hair seem fuller, so they’re great for creating up-dos.

I love Oscar Blandi’s Pronto Dry Shamoo. It’s the best, and it smells like lemons! Squirt a dime size amount in your palm and rub it onto your roots and hairline rather than directly applying it to your roots. Just be sure to get the powder version and not the spray. The spray does not work as well and runs out quickly.
