Last post I talked about dealing with the need to constantly wash my hair. A way to sort of get around that is using dry shampoo.
Dry shampoo is a concept (at least for me) that is hard to understand. Wash your hair with out water? Sounds like a time saving miracle. The first time I heard of it was a while ago, but if it wasn't readily available in CVS, I wasn't going out of my way to find it. When ever a magazine featured a dry shampoo product it was usually pretty pricey ($20+).
While indulging in some online shopping at Sephora.com, I decided to purchase something extra to reach the $50 amount to qualify for free shipping. There were about four brands of dry shampoo available. I bought Klorane Gentle Dry Shampoo because it had the best ratings for the best price.
The shampoo arrived and I finally gave it a try. It wasn't quite like baby powder like I expected. The aerosol spray helped distribute it in a fine mist, even way. However, if I hold it too close to my head or spray to long it will leave my hair a powdery-white. The first time I tried it I ended up having to wash my hair the old fashioned water way.
The second time I used the Klorane dry shampoo I had a better hang of the spray. A quick shot at my roots with the can held about 12" away from my head seems to be enough. Now, this is no where near how my hair would look or feel after a good wash in the shower, but it does a good job getting rid of the greasy roots to get me through the day. I've also found that though the directions tell you to simply brush after waiting two minutes, a quick shot of a blow dryer with it helps clear out any lingering white powder.
I have two complaints. One is it leave my hair with a good amount of static. The second is probably brand specific, but the smell. It's not a bad smell, but it reminds me of a grandma...
