Hi everyone and happy Friday! I am so happy that it's the end of the week but at the same time, I want it to be Monday again so that my job hunting for my new job can continue! Anyway, let's get cracking for today. Now I know that not everyone really cares that much about something like this, but I want to talk to you about dry shampoo.
For me, I never really thought about dry shampoo because I never went a day without washing my hair. After all the of the reading that I did about how it is not good to wash your hair everyday, I still washed my hair everyday and completely ignored everything that I read. With that being said, about a year ago I drastically changed my diet. I began eating extremely clean and exercising, drinking more and more water (not that I didn't drink so much normally, just saying). While you can imagine that my body was changing from my diet being changed, I really also noticed a change in my hair, skin and nails.
While my nails were getting stronger and my skin clearer, my hair just seemed like it was getting a little bit thinner but at the same time it was becoming stronger. The process that my hair was going through was so strange but i realized that it was getting a little bit worse, before it was getting better. To accommodate this change, I began to skip washing my hair every other day. While this was really wierd to me, I knew that there was a slight possibility that it may help me and it really did.
With skipping every other day came the obvious problem of oily hair. I absolutely hate when my hair gets oily but it never really did because I washed it every single day and never gave it a chance to. Now that I was skipping a day, it started happening more often. With that thought, I decided to actually try a dry shampoo. Now I distinctly remember one of my friends talking about a dry shampoo that she had picked up from the drugstore and said she loved so I resorted to trying that one. I found that it didn't really help me. I looked it up online and found that it was extremely hyped up and I was wondering why. The Tresemme dry shampoo she was using was just not working for me at all. I tried a second one from Suave and I hated that one too.
Online I was looking around for other ones that might work and I came across one that Lush sells. A little pricey, I was concerned but it wasn't terrible. After a while I found myself using it more and more and it really grew on me. After looking up on youtube the proper way to actually put it in your hair thinking I was doing it wrong, I realized that it wasn't me. The Lush dry shampoo is an actual powder as opposed to the others from the drugstore that are in an aerosol can.
What I like about the Lush dry shampoo that is conveniently called "No Drought," is that it is buildable like any good make-up. When you put it in your hair, because it's a powder, you can really rub it in and see that its rubbed in before you chose to put more in your hair that you may not need. I found that it was way easier to work with more so than the aerosol cans because of this. I have blonde hair so blending the powder into my hair is a lot easier than it would be on a brunette. While I do say this, I must also say my hair is ombre styled so the roots are a little darker and I still have no problem.
Overall, I love the texture of No Drought. I love that I can put it in my hair and actually feel that it is taking effect. With the aerosol cans I wasn't able to do that. I also enjoy the smell of it. The cans seemed like they smelled more of a "fake" product than the powder. The citrus scent is great because its not overpowering and once you put the product into your hair you aren't left smelling it forever and a day like you are with aerosol cans of dry shampoo.
Check out Lush dry shampoo, "No Drought" at Lush stores or on the website. That is all I have for you guys for today, I hope you enjoyed it. Do you use dry shampoo? Which one do you use? Which one should I try? Leave me some suggestions of what to try in the comments or tell me your review. You can also send me a tweet and let me know what you think.
Xoxo-Brit.
