new product

so it seems like there is a bit of debate on what proper hygiene for your hair is. ive heard anything from wash and shampoo twice a day to twice a week! i still can't decide what the consensus is... but i do know that it is not daily.

i typically like to wash my hair every other day and my hair always looks best at the end of the second day.. its the natural oils, better than any finishing serum on the market. however, now that im trying to go to the gym daily (ive gained like over 20 lbs this past year... oy vey!).. its definitely been harder to be on this hair cycle because i really sweating it out... but at the same time all that shampooing is really drying my hair out.

i tried doing a thorough rinse with water and scalp massage and then only conditioning the tips (i read a few years back in a beauty magazine that you should only condition the portion of your hair BELOW your ears). when i rinsed, i would actually not rinse out the conditioner completely to leave some in. even still... i felt that it was a little overwashed.

now... i just bought this new dry shampoo from bumble & bumble. it was definitely a bit on the pricey side... and i have yet to use it, but ill post as soon as i see how much i like it. some people use corn starch for dry shampoo, which i heard can be useful, but seeing that i have JET BLACK hair.... all it does for me is leave a halo of grey. i think the general consensus would be not hot! i bought the dry shampoo spray in black, but it also comes in white, red and blonde.

i tried it at the hair salon and i really liked it. it definitely soaked up some oils at the salon, absorbed some of the odor that goes with it, and it also helps give great body to your crown! the only thing is that sometimes if there is too much of an excess spray on, some of the black will bleed onto your fingers when you run your fingers through your hair. :/
