A friend of mine mentioned dry shampoo. She uses it on the days where she doesn't wash her hair. I tried it and liked it quite a bit, but at $25/small bottle, it's not something I can justify.
After doing a little research, I found that Sally Beauty Supply sells a brand called Batiste that retails for about $7/can. I've seen some good reviews and decided to try it out the other evening. I didn't have anywhere important to go, so I figured if it didn't work, I wouldn't be a huge embarrassment to myself. ;)
Since this comes in an aerosol can, it tends to come out heavily. The trick is to apply just a little at a time. Simply spray, wait a few minutes, massage in and then brush out.
Results: very pleased! My hair was instantly refreshed. So much so, that the next day I skipped washing my hair again (I had a lot of work to do around the house and was going to wait until the evening to wash) and yet it still seemed clean.
I think my friend's $25 version may have been a little bit better as far as results go, but for only $7/can, Batiste is worth it, especially if you are in a pinch and need a quick refresher.

thanks I have the oiliest hair and I have of trying this now I think I just might!
I've never heard of this. Cool!
I've never heard of dry shampoo before... interesting. Nice that you found a more reasonably priced version.
Oh I love this stuff! I started out with Bumble and Bumble dry shampoo (hair powder) until I discovered this stuff at my Sally's Beauty for 1/4 of the price and it works just as well! The other stuff was actually a powder you squeeze into your hair, but I think the spray is more convenient.. and it makes your hair smell great!
Hey,
I did have oily hair...I tried to find the article that kicked of me not wahsing my haif for almost a year.
I'm sure you are now cringing but, my hair is healthy and shiny!
I use only conditioner (look closely to make sure alcohol is not the first ingredient). If I had a picture, I'd show you!
Going to try that!
this is so good to know! I bought some Ulta dry shampoo about a year ago for $25 and was disappointed it didn't last more than about 10 uses (I have thick hair). And your recommendation has to be better than the baby powder I've resorted to!
Wow! I have an oily scalp too. I have never heard of this dry shampoo stuff.
To answer your question, I did do a box! First time ever, so I was totally afraid. It shocked the pants off me at first, but has grown on me. Course, reds always fade very quickly so having faded a tad it's better. It was a fall type change...I'll be my normal color before long! ha!
This is new to me~ I have never heard of dry shampoo before but how very cool! I can relate to what you said about "combination hair"~ it makes it so hard to choose shampoo/conditioner, too, because it is usually just made for one hair type. (Dry and damaged, and so forth.) What a neat idea, I think they are on to something here, and am so glad you found it for such a reasonable price! :) Have a good night!
I had to laugh when I read your comment on my cottage. When you haul it off can you make sure I add my dirty dishes and laundry beofre you leave...oh and can you take a few kids while your at it...just kidding about the kids, I might miss them~ Thanks...hehe
Thanks for the tip. I could really use that!
I had to chuckle when reading this. Back in the 70's there was a product call Psssssst and it was a similar dry shampoo product. It worked pretty well. It has been discontinued for many years.
i recently started using this myself. i LOVE it! after a month or two i'm still in love! not to mention the huge volume it gives me!
