Beauty Box: Dry Shampoo Alternative

So this might sound gross to some of you guys, but I only wash my hair about 3 times a week. Many hair stylists actually recommend this because it is healthier for your hair and keeps it more naturally moisturized. Plus, I hate trying to style my hair when it’s clean because it’s too soft to do anything with. However, I am very aware of just how greasy hair can get when it’s left unwashed. I’ve read all about using dry shampoo or even substituting baby powder to soak up the grease. I’d try these things but I always forget to buy dry shampoo and because I’m childless, I don’t have baby powder just lying around the house. But today I’ve had a stroke a genius and solved my greasy hair problems!

As I was getting ready to leave the house, I realized my hair looked disgusting, but I didn’t have time to wash it. I spied my loose powder and figured, “What the heck?” and shook it into my hand and tousled it into my hair. Voila! No more grease! Not only that, but it also helped hide the fact that my roots were getting just a bit too obvious by lightening them up. Added perk! (Note, this obviously would not work if you had dark hair). So next time you’re in a rush, don’t feel like you have to throw your hair up into a messy bun. Just grab some of your loose powder and go!
