How do they work?

Dry shampoos work by absorbing the excess dirt and oil that can leave hair looking Greasy and limp. While you would not want to replace liquid shampoo with the dry version altogether, it is a great alternative in emergency beauty. They are must-have items for the girl on the go!

How to use it.

Follow the manufacture’s instructions of course but in general you lightly spray the roots allowing some overspray to hit the remaining hair. Leave in hair for two minutes, then brush out excess product. Provides a matte finish – if a shinier texture is desired, follow up with your favorite shine spray.

What I’ve found!

I just recently noticed that if you spray freshly washed hair with a bit of dry shampoo after your style is complete blowouts, curls and back-combed sections hold 3X as long!!!

Many companies now make this product.

I would like to share with you an age old secret I could not live without.

In today’s excessive market we are bombarded with thousands of new hair products and if you’re anything like me you’re an equal product employer and give everything a try at least once. We are slaves to our favorite styling products and quite often these products are overused. In return the hair has much synthetic buildup on the hair shaft and scalp that even the best hair clarifying treatment by our favorite manufacturer can not remove. So, how do we safely and by the way, organically remove the chemicals/products/dead skin/pollution from our precious locks you ask?

Well here is my favorite age old secret! It’s probably in your kitchen right now.

The ol’Apple Cider Vinegar hair rinse has been admired for literally centuries to get rid of build up in hair. Whether it be caused by excessive hair products, or just from environmental pollutants. This hair rinse will remove all the residue and scaly buildup that accumulates on your hair shafts from using commercial hair products. Years of buildup gone in under 10 minutes! The natural Ph of vinegar also closes the hair cuticles resulting in shinier, smoother healthier looking hair. Science has proven to us that it promotes blood circulation in the small blood capillaries that irrigate the skin. It is also antiseptic, combating viruses and bacteria.

Do keep in mind ACV is very acidic thus resulting in hair lightening. If your hair is colored you should expect your hair to go about 1 shade lighter. I suggest to my colored clients to clarify their hair with this magic potion about 1 week prior to their scheduled visit to the salon.

The Magic Mixture:
2 parts Apple cider vinegar to 1 part distilled water.

If you can physically feel build up on your hair and/or it has a waxy feel to it. Then go in with the big guns and apply straight ACV with no dilution.

Pour ACV over warm damp hair, massage scalp to ends and comb through for 10 minutes.
Rinse with cold water. If the smell lingers follow up with your favorite shampoo and conditioner.

Drink ACV too! Though the taste isn’t a walk in the park the health benefits of this golden liquid will amaze you. Google Apple cider vinegar and you’ll be amazed at the documentation.
