Brunette Beauties On The Go: Dry Shampoo

All my friends know that I spend a lot of money on my hair; treatments, products, cuts and styling. I am often looking for new products and always excited when I get to sample them.

I recently proclaimed my love for dry shampoo on twitter and got a lot of responses from girls asking about it. I have been using dry shampoo for many years now and honestly its one of my must-have products.

If like me you have long hair and after the second day of your blow dry, you find your hair isn’t greasy enough to wash and just needs a refresh – then dry shampoo is the way forward.

Like most women, I have a busy schedule with work, events and functions and I don’t always have the time to blow dry my hair to perfection. A few years ago, I heard about dry shampoo. Back then the only product I recall that could be bought was bumble & bumble’s hair powder range. It could only be bought in salons and was always out of stock online. Then in more recent years, a lot of dry shampoo products came onto market by companies such as TIGI, James Brown, Batiste, Klorane etc

I have tried nearly all of these products but my favourite is Lee Stafford’s Oily Roots. I spray the bottle into my hair and then shake out the excess. It gives volume at the roots and revitalises my locks. Perfect for days when you’re running late (which in my case are often). I even keep a travel sized bottle in my handbag. The only problem that I found with this product was that the spray was white and you had to shake out the powder otherwise it looks like you’ve dropped baby powder on your head (!) Not a good look. So I was very excited when I found out that Lee Stafford had launched new dry shampoo in two shades; medium and dark brown. I snapped up a bottle in medium brown.

It costs less than £6 which if you ask me is much better value for money than a salon blow dry.

Ladies, let me know what you think. I attach a pic from my twitter the day I used dry shampoo!

Swish.
