My Go-To Hair Products For Skipping A Few Washes

Skipping a few washes is one of the best things you can do for your hair.

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

This is the only dry shampoo that actually leaves my hair feeling clean, not just coated, after I use it!

4. Bumble and Bumble Pret-a-powder

This dry shampoo is a power that you can shake or sprinkle onto your roots for instant volume, texture and a refreshed look and feel.

5. Macadamia Professional Style Extend Dry Shampoo

The Macadamia Professional Style Extend Dry Shampoo absorbs oil and buildup to help you keep rocking that style for a few more days. This product is translucent so it easily blends with all hair colors.

6. Keratin Complex Volumizing Dry Shampoo Lift Powder

This is a great product for on-the-go because it's so easy to apply! It has a makeup brush-like applicator that you use to dust across your roots for the perfect amount of product for soaking up all those oils.

7. Monat The CHAMP Conditioning Dry Shampoo

This dry shampoo spray conditions your hair as it absorbs excess oils, providing shine without over-drying.

After all, dirty hair is the easiest to style so skip a few washes and still have killer locks with these tried and true products!

Thanks, dry shampoo, I don't know what I'd do without you.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
