Dry shampoo, how can I thank you?
You've been my go-to since middle school when I first discovered the importance of not washing your hair every day.
Some people think it's gross to skip a few washers, but I think it's grosser to have a head of dull, flakey, split-end filled hair, which often comes from over-washing.
Every time you wash your hair you're stripping it of its natural oils, leaving your hair dryer and more prone to breakage.
Washing your hair too frequently is also horrible for your color and your wallet.
Every time you wash your hair you're washing away the beautiful tones your stylist worked so hard to create, and you worked so hard to afford. The best way to prevent brassiness and preserve your color is to wash less frequently.
Not only are you saving on salon trips by washing less, but you're also using less shampoo and conditioner, saving you money on those products!
Washing and styling your hair every day takes up valuable time that on-the-go college gals just don't have, so here are seven dry shampoos I recommend to save you time and your hair its integrity.
1. Batiste Original Dry Shampoo
The lemon-scented spray absorbs oils at your roots and adds volume leaving your hair feeling clean and refreshed.
2. Amika Perk Up Dry Shampoo
This spray uses natural rice starch and never leaves white residue on your hair so it's perfect for all hair colors.
3. Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo
