Best DRY SHAMPOO you have used?

Hi there,


I have two kids under two and don't always have the chance to shower every day sometimes two and my hair has since been incredibly oily since having babies.





Does anyone have any suggestions for the best dry shampoo you have used?? I have looked at reviews of a few at sephora but they all seem pretty similar.





Which dry shampoo do you like???Best DRY SHAMPOO you have used?
I just learned about dry shampoo maybe a month ago %26amp; it's my new obsession!! I have very oily hair, had to wash it daily my entire life. It's oily by the same evening. Yuck. Dry shampoo is a powder that absorbs oil, mattifies hair, and gives fantastic body. They use corn starch, cotton, clay, all sorts of natural ingredients to do their magic. And they really work. I've skipped a day (even 2 on the weekend) between hair washings! Never been able to do that before! I also hate the 'dirty head' smell, so some have scents. Some people don't like the scented kinds, so there are unscented ones available. Most of the powders are white, which freaked me out at first (I'm a brunette), but it really does disappear. If you still want to color-match the powder with your hair, there are colored varieties. I've heard that the colored ones can leave a mess on your hands (from rubbing it in) and walls (if it's a spray kind).





They come in sprays or loose powder. I did LOTS of reading about the products online before purchasing 4 (did I mention I'm obsessed). What I learned:





Sprays: Fantastically easy to apply. Make a bit of a mess in the bathroom (the shelf behind where I get ready looks like I haven't dusted it in ages due to the layer of dry shampoo). Some people have problems with the can getting clogged or leaking all the compressed air out, making your purchase a waste. Price ranges from about $6 for PSSSSSST! (found at drugstores, doesn't smell great, been around for decades) or Batiste (at Sally's, it's the rave in Europe) to $22-ish for Ojon, Klorane, Tiji, Oscar Blandi (found at Sephora, Ulta, any of the online stores like amazon/drugstore).





Powder: Loose powder. My fave. Some people put the nozzle directly on their scalp. After having a huge pile of powder left on my head, I decided that wasn't the way to go. I put the powder in a little container %26amp; use a makeup brush to apply it (in sections, to the roots, just like with the spray). I like being in control of the amount applied, and I don't like aerosol products in general. The bottles will cost $20-30, but I imagine they will last FOREVER. OK, that was exaggeration. I can say I've been using them daily for a month %26amp; can't even tell the product has been used. The ones I tried: Oscar Blandi ($22, my fave, smells lemony---some people hate the smell. It is strong sniffing from the bottle, but with the small amount applied, the scent isn't really noticeable on my head), Klorane (bought on ebay for $12, store price around $20, works great, but no real smell so not my favorite), Stila hair refresher Creme blossom scent ($29, from Zappos but many of the usual places carry it, I got this one because it got rave reviews for the scent. It smells like a sugar cookie with a hint of floral, sort of like a nice hand lotion, works well also). I should mention that my younger sister has used baby powder in a pinch. I assume it would have to be a non-talc one. Most baby powders are corn starch anyway, which is one of the main ingredients in the dry shampoo, so maybe that's an option.





Hope this helps. I have told ALL my girlfriends about dry shampoo---Where has it been all my life??!!





PS--If you wear a showercap, you can still shower without worrying about getting your hair wet.Best DRY SHAMPOO you have used?
TIGI's Rockaholic Dirty Secret Dry Shampoo. It smells fantastic and works great. The only problem is I can't find it in stores. It is sold at some salons, but I get it online.








Amazon.com has it.
