So they say it's better for your hair to skip washing it at least every other day. Well, I've tried that, and I just cannot get past the oily scalp feeling or the 'dirty hair' smell that accompanies it. I bought this at Walgreen's for around $4-5 and thought I'd give it a whirl.
This morning I wore a shower cap in the shower (sexy, right?) and after, made sure all the little pieces that stick out dried completely before using this spray. You have to shake the can well and hold it 8" from your head while spraying short bursts here 'n there on your locks. It blows out a very fine, powdery substance that you work into your roots with your fingers. After, you thoroughly brush it in and style as usual. It doesn't take much spray. I have shoulder-length hair and just hit the top a few times and then lifted a layer to spray underneath a bit.
Well, I accomplished that over four hours ago, and my hair feels fresh as if I'd washed it. If I put my fingers on the back of my head and rub where it's usually greasy, there's nothing. Not even a chalky feeling like some dry shampoos give you. Also, there is no strange, 'unclean' smell. My style is holding well, too.
The only downfall I see to this is, if you are wearing clothes while you spray, you might put a powdery film on them. And if you aren't wearing any clothes yet, your skin will get the powder on it. It's not a big thing, as you just brush it off of your skin, but I'm not sure what it would do to clothes, so that's just something to think about.
I suspect I will continue to feel fresh the rest of the day, but if for some reason by 4 o' clock I look like I just combed my hair with the lint trap from my dryer or something, I will be sure to come back and update.
