crazy morning life saver

Happy Thursday! I don't know about you all, but I am exceptionally excited that it's Friday tomorrow. This week has just been too much. Speaking of which, do you ever have those mornings where you wake up and realize you barely have time to get dressed, let alone shower? Those are the worst. Especially if you, like me, have fine hair or hair that tends toward the greasy side. So what do you do when you find yourself with 5 minutes to get ready and a mop of unwashed hair? Friends, let me show you:

Tada! Dry shampoo! And not just any dry shampoo, Suave dry shampoo. Now I know what some of you might be thinking. Suave? Really? Well, I've had my biases too...but we'll get to that.

First of all, let's have a little chat about how exactly dry shampoo works. Basically, it's kind of like a spray powder. You spritz a little on the problem area, rub it in with your hands, and then comb it through. DO NOT skip any of these steps. If you don't rub it in, you'll end up looking like you've got baby powder all over your head (and when I say rub, I mean more of a finger-comb than an actual rubbing motion). Anyway, the powder absorbs the oil in your hair, making it look like you actually washed your hair, when maybe you didn't.

Now, why Suave? Maybe some of you have had bad experiences with Suave. I know I have. I'm not at all a fan of their shampoo or conditioner (not to say it doesn't work for some people, because I know it does). However, their dry shampoo seems to work the best. This conclusion is a combination of using the product myself and talking to other people about it. Obviously, I have not tried every dry shampoo ever made. But then again, since I found the best one on my first try (thanks, Marissa!), why would I need to? I will say this. The other brands that I did try left my hair feeling extremely gunky and did nothing to absorb the oil. And while, with Suave, you can still tell there is product in your hair, it didn't feel gooey like some of the others. Another plus for Suave? It smells nice. Which I'm sure is a hard thing for a weird spray-powdery substance to achieve. 

BONUS: If you hair is lacking in volume, you can use this as a texturizer/volumizer! Just spritz a little on your roots, rub it in, comb it through, and your hair will hold volume way better!

So, in conclusion, for those days when you're too rushed, too busy, or even too lazy to wash your hair, this product is an absolute lifesaver! Go Suave!

PS-the best part? It's cheap! Check it out at WalMart for $2.88!
