Dry shampoo is one of my secret weapons. When you are blonde with lots and lots of thin hair that can't wait to produce oil, it is necessary. But seriously, dry shampoo is great to have on hand in many situations.
The Culprits: - wake up late (oh crap)
- sweating at the gym (ewww)
- your hair is flat on a humid day (hey, there are worse things)
- you have blonde highlights that have grown out (cha-ching)
The Perks:
Dry shampoo is a time saver which is really important to me when trying to maintain a good relationship with sleep. I also think my hair has gotten healthier from using it. If I wash my hair less, I also blow dry it less, and use my flat iron less. Take that hair damage and 6AM wake-up calls!
The Act:
First you will need greasy or flat hair, check and check.
I then let it sit for about 10 minutes to soak in. I usually do my make-up or get dressed (which takes more than 10 minutes unless I had a dream about my outfit the night before (yes that happens)). But back on topic, once I am dressed I come back and do a quick comb through to blend it in. Viola! (cue choir of angels and a small victory dance)
[see? Big difference huh?]
The Options:
If you are thrifty go on & try: Not your Mother's Clean Freak Refreshing Dry Shampoo [$5.99 for a 7 oz. can at Ulta and pictured below] This is my go to and I always keep a can or two on hand. This can be found at Walmart or Walgreens.
If you have cash to burn go on & try: Big Sexy Hair Volumizing Dry Shampoo [$17.95 for 3.4 oz. at Ulta]
I hope this helps save some time and split ends for you in the future! Spray away!

I take sections of my hair and spray the dry shampoo on my roots. The key is to not spray directly on your part but just on either side (see picture below). Then you can spray wherever else seems needy.

This can be found at Beauty Brands and some larger Targets and Walmarts.
If you don't have blonde hair: Look for a specifically clear dry shampoo, most easily found at a beauty store such as Sephora or Beauty Brands.
Not so great experience: Tresemme Fresh Start Dry Shampoo and Rockaholic Dirty Secret Dry Shampoo
[Clever names but I had to return each product several times due to consistently malfunctioning cans.]
