Dry Shampoo = My Hair’s BFF
Hello Beauties and Welcome back!!!
For those who have followed us for a while now know that I LIVE for Dry Shampoo!!! With having long hair I usually only wash my hair every 4 to 5 days. I know this might sound gross if you haven’t done it, but I promise you that my hair looks fresh and clean everyday. My friends who are hair stylists have actually told me that it is healthier for your hair to not wash it everyday and recommend a Dry Shampoo for in between washes.
So by now I have tried most of the Dry Shampoo’s out there because I work in Sephora every week, and I have narrowed down my list of my Top 5 Dry Shampoo’s from Sephora for you guys.
Over the years of using Dry Shampoo I have learned a few Do’s and Don’ts tricks:
- Never use tinted or colored dry shampoo’s unless you want your fingers colored every time you touch your hair.
- Use your dry shampoo at night before bed and wake up to perfectly refreshed and clean hair, this also helps if you use a dry shampoo that initially sprays white.
- After you have showered and cleaned your body after a workout, blow dry any remaining sweat on your hair and then add dry shampoo and style as normal.
- Blow Drying the sweat in your hair is like your own natural Salt Spray, why pay $22 for a Salt Spray for texture when it’s pretty much the same thing as drying sweat………don’t judge me! 🙂
Dry Shampoo | Top 5 Sephora Favorites
Living Proof Dry Shampoo
Living Proof Perfect Hair Day has fast-absorbing powders that soak up oil and sweat. Great for all hair types and colors, a patented OFPMA molecule reduces the surface friction on hair—leaving virtually no visible residue or powdery build-up—making it easy to remove the powder. Odor neutralizers eliminate unwanted smells, and a time-release fragrance releases a light, refreshing, long-lasting scent.
Bumble and Bumble Pret-a-Powder
Extend the life of your blowout and give style a second shot. Prêt-à-Powder offers strong oil absorption and volume-boosting benefits in a finely milled formula that is nearly invisible in the hair. Great for all types and textures, yet ideal for hair that’s missed a wash or two, this must-have powder will leave hair looking clean, fresh, and voluminous.
Dry Bar Detox Dry Shampoo
Prolong your blowout with Detox! It absorbs oils, impurities, and odor while providing body and fullness, leaving hair feeling fresh and clean. Lightweight and easy to use, the micro powder blends in perfectly with hair color, leaving no white residue behind.
Alterna Cleanse Extend Dry Shampoo
Formulated with strengthening eco-certified bamboo extract, this almost translucent dry shampoo is designed to absorb oil, product build-up, and impurities to extend the life of your blowout without leaving any powdery residue. Available in a crisp sugar lemon, sweet sheer blossom, or tropical mango coconut scent, it will leave your hair voluminous, beautiful, and delicately scented.
Amika Perk Up Dry Shampoo
The Amika Perk Up has the lightweight natural rice starch to absorb excess oil and dirt that weighs hair down. The lightweight, cleansing formula creates texture, adds volume, and deodorizes to refresh hair between shampoos.
In the hair tutorial below I used the Amika Perk Up for the first time, like I said in the video it initially went on a little white while it’s cleansing the hair. As it absorbs the oil and you brush it out that goes right away. Make sure to watch the Loose Curls Hair Tutorial if you are looking for an easy way to create soft pretty curls. Watch Here.
Never used Dry Shampoo before? Here are a couple of things to remember.
*Shake Well and section your hair from bottom to top, spraying at the root of the hair.
*Hold canister six to 10 inches away from dry hair, then apply section by section in a sweeping motion to dirty or oily areas.
*Wait 30 seconds for powders to activate and cleanse, then remove them by massaging your hair with your fingers, or brushing your hair.
*Apply more if needed (just make sure to shake the can again).
Let us know what your favorite’s are as we are always trying them out!!! Keep an eye out for my Top 5 Dry Shampoo’s from target going up next week.
