Baby Powder
I’ve gotten a lot of great feedback from my weird beauty trick posts, so I thought I’d make it a thing.
Today, I bring you perhaps one of the oldest tricks in the book but people still seem to be surprised when they catch me doing it.
I wash my hair everyday. I know you’re not supposed to and that ideally you should “train your hair” to not get greasy after one day and wash it every 2-3 days. Well, I’ve tried training my hair Olympic athlete style but not matter what I do my hair gets greasy within one day—we’re talkin’ McDonald’s Big Mac greasy. Pan after you’ve cooked some bacon greasy.
And even though I wash my hair every day, sometimes at the end of a day it needs a little de-greasing pick me up. But the last thing I want to do is jump in the shower again (too much drying time). That’s when I turn to baby powder. A little dusting in the roots of my hair (whatever you do do NOT open the bottle all the way otherwise you’ll look like you’re going gray…unless that’s your thing), followed by a quick shake of the tresses and voila! you’re practically as good as if you’d just showered!
I used this trick so much when I had blonde hair…now, as a brunette, not so much. I wash my hair most days too… I have tried to train my hair too but it never seems to work!
I have that same hair! I have to wash everyday and I’m constantly feeling internally guilty for doing so because we’re always told to wash only every 2-3 days.
At the end of the day, when I’ve had my hair down, it’s heavy from grease (and prob product), flattened, stringy and lifeless. When I use baby power/dry shampoo, it usually feels even flatter and heavier (even though I have very thin, very fine hair)! though it is magically less stringy looking at the roots.
Do you get the same?
