Beauty tip #6 Dry shampoos

Need to get somewhere fast? Don't have enough time to wash your hair, dry it, and style it?? Dry shampoo is the way to go!! Dry shampoos not only buy you time between washes... which is great because you aren't supposed to be washing your hair everyday anyway... but they also give your hair a little umph after. Dry shampoos are also known to take away the itch, improve the smell, and eliminate the good ol' oily look that we all love soooo much! 

They come in powder form, foams and sprays. What dry shampoos do is absorb the oils that are in your hair. For many years what people would do is actually use baby powder... which I sometimes still do.  Some dry shampoos are even known to extend the life of your hair for an extra 5 days before you wash it. 

The way to pick the right dry shampoo for your hair is to match it up with the description they have on the product. Yes, it's as easy as that. They've got some for blondes, brunettes, and even reds. They've got dry shampoos for curly hair, straight hair, frizzy hair... you name it. 

One of my favorites is "Oscar Blandi Pronto" dry shampoo. This one is sold at Sephora for about $11. It is a little pricey for the size of the bottle, but very well worth it! It also has a nice fresh lemony scent!!

Another good one is "Pssssst" Instant dry shampoo. This is a good one for us curly haired people :) It refreshes and doesn't weigh down your beautiful bouncy curls. This one's only $6.99 at Ulta.

A good one for dark hair is "Batiste" original dry shampoo. This brand carries many different scents and comes for all different colors. They have have some that give you that extra volume and extra shine!! And best of all... it's not going to break the bank!! This one is only $9 at most drugstores!!

There are plenty more out there ladies. You've just gotta get out there and experiment with them and the different types that are available to you!! There will be one your hair will fall in love with.

These are the steps for most dry shampoos:

1. Brush your hair. Make sure all those tangles are out!!! This also helps with evenly distributing all oils and gunk you've got in there so your dry shampoo will work correctly.
2. Part sections of your hair and apply at the roots and on your scalp. Apply wherever you feel necessary. P.s. It might look a little scary after this step. Don't worry.. it gets better!
3. Massage dry shampoo into your scalp. Try using the same motions as if you were applying regular shampoo. MAKE SURE YOUR HANDS ARE CLEAN!! You don't want to add more grease and gunk to your hair. 
4. Wait 3-5 minutes to allow shampoo to absorb everything.
5. Comb through your hair. I do this step with my head upside down and over the bath tub or sink to eliminate a big mess.
6. Flip hair over and enjoy your "clean" hair :)

Tips: I've noticed that with any dry shampoo, a little goes a long way. Start with a small amount. You could always add more!!

I hope this helps ladies!! Any questions please comment!! Stay beautiful <3
