Beauty Quickies: Hair

Having a bad hair day?...

I'm a pretty low-maintenance gal, but my hair seems to be the one thing I continuously fuss with.  I have long, straight, and fine hair with a slightly oily complex.  It seems the only time it looks fresh and revived is right after a good cleanse, but washing my hair twice a day or even every day can sometimes dry up my scalp. If a dry scalp isn't the problem, its finding the time to consistently maintain it.  I don't want to have to take the time to wash it if its slightly oily or flat.

What's a good solution?...

Well, at first I used baby powder (yes, the stuff you put on the bums of babies).  I would apply a small amount to my roots to soak up the oil and it worked great.  However, it does leave that distinct baby powder smell and doesn't do a lot for volume.  Then, I heard about other products that work like baby powder, but were primarily geared towards hair care.  Dry shampoo, for instance, is a powder you put into your dull/ dirty hair (similar to baby powder) and it soaks all the oil to make your hair appear cleaner.  Again, its effective and doesn't leave that baby powder odor behind, but still...what about VOLUME?!!

Thanks to my friends over at Daily Candy, I heard about this product Sachajuan Volume Powder, that is a dry shampoo, mousse, volume-izer, and hair spray rolled into one.  Its great for all hair lengths and will maintain that fussy frock in-between washes...hooray!!!
