Miracle Product for Hair – Dry Shampoo

I start this post with a confession …. I hate washing my hair. I really, really do. It’s just too much work! I’d rather sit in the shower and just let the water run down me while I day dream. This is probably why I don’t wash it often.

Gross! Do you have lice?! I hear you scream. Don’t worry – it’s nothing crazy like a month without washing, and I hear that it’s actually good and healthy to skip the shampoo once in a while. It lets the natural oils from the hair condition it, which is the best for the hair, really. We know that washing everyday is safe if you prefer it, though it would be better to wash it every other day. 

Anyways, there is a miracle product that does help me out in between washes – dry shampoo. Where has it been all my life? In my nasty high school days when I would only wash my hair when it itches (now that’s gross) I would sprinkle baby powder into my roots to soak up all the gunk and my hair would look instantly fresh. However, in today’s beauty industry, there are so many different dry shampoos.

Dry shampoos help clean, absorb grease, scent the hair, and creates light volume. Plus, it gets makes the hair look a whole lot better in general. I highly recommend it for those lazy days – it is really a great product.

Here are some that are available today:

Batiste Dry Shampoo

When I heard about dry shampoo, I immediately knew it was so foreign that I couldn’t find it in my region yet (I was right, but thankfully, there are now). I called up my friend in London and begged her to go to Boots and send me some dry shampoo. Any brand! I demanded. She said she uses this and it works quite well, and it does – this is the only dry shampoo I have tried so I have nothing to compare it with, but so far, I love it. Works great and is very affordable. 

Rene Furterer Naturia Dry Shampoo

Yes, I had to. Anything with “Renee” in it and I’m in.

This is the next one on my shopping list, because it is also a natural product, and does not contain any parabens, sulfates, and petro-Chemicals. I have heard many raves about this, though it is on the expensive side.

This dry shampoo instantly absorbs impurities and oil and ingredients include kaolin clay, silica, rice, and cornstarch. Sounds pretty great to me!

Klorane Shampoo Dry Oat Extract

I’ve heard great things about this product as well. Like the others, it promises to eliminate excess sebum, dirt and dust in just a few minutes.

The aerosol nozzle allows for easy distribution throughout the hair and scalp, which you brush through root to tip. 

It was also In Style’s 1999 Fall Fashion Report as the number 1 must-have brand. 

Psssssst Instant Spray Shampoo

I believe this is one of the first that came out to the market (correct me if I’m wrong!).

Marketed as a quick refresher for all hair types, it leaves dirty hair looking clean and fresh. I have been told it’s not as good as the newer ones on the market, but it’s worth a look with its affordable price tag. 

What are your thoughts on dry shampoo? Is it one of your must-have products? Also, if you have any other brands to recommend, do tell!
