WILW: Dry Shampoo

This post contains affiliate links.

Welcome to another edition of What I’m Loving Wednesday! I haven’t done one of these in a long time and I have a few products that are past overdue for a review!

WILW

I posted this pic on my Instagram the other day and asked if anyone had any hair topics they wanted covered and most everyone wanted to know about dry shampoo!!

First up lets talk about hair type. Not every product works on every hair type and I only know the ones that work best for me. My hair is super fine but I have a ton of it. It gets super frizzy in humidity and is pretty wavy/curly naturally.

Don’t be fooled by the pretty curls, these are flat iron curls and I have discovered that if I use my Chi to curl my hair and the right products I can get at leaf 4-5 days out of a wash. I used to be an everyday hair washer because my scalp was super oily. It still is and you can definitely tell when it’s straight but when it’s curly and has lots of volume on top I can get away with it.

I’m also trying to grow my hair out, I want Duchess of Cambridge (the former Kate Middleton) hair, and my hair stylist says that if I can wear it curly it will seem like it’s growing faster because I will quit focusing in looking at the length when it’s straight. And you know what? She’s right! So far anyway…

On to dry shampoo!! Currently I am loving Oribe’s Dry Finishing Spray.

Technically it’s not a dry shampoo but it works like one. I love that it’s clear so I can use it on my dark hair and not have to worry about white stuff on my scalp that looks like dandruff. I think the key to using a dry shampoo or texturing spray is knowing when to use it.

If I am wanting to stretch a style, particularly flat ironed curls, right before I go to bed I will spray my Oribe all over my scalp on the top of my head and the sides (where my hair gets super oily) and be sure and rub it in really good. Then, I put it up in a ponytail and go to bed. The next morning I take my ponytail down, fluff the top, run a wide tooth comb through my hair and I’m good to go. No oily scalp, no gritty dry shampoo feel. I can do this 3-4 nights in a row and make a style stretch 4-5 days.

If you have never tried Oribe products I highly recommend them. They are expensive, I think my Dry Texturizing Spray was $35 for a bottle but it is soooo worth it! It smells amazing and has lasted me 5 months so far! Tom Ford designed the smell for Oribe products if that tells you anything.

Side note- I was in Dallas this past week and stopped by Dry Bar to get a blowout and grabbed a bottle of their Triple Sec which id supposed to be very similar to Oribe’s Dry Texturizing Spray. It smells like heaven in a bottle. I will be trying it soon and will have a full review for you soon!

Dry bar hair, don’t you wish every day was a blowout day…

So now I want to hear from you! What is your favorite dry shampoo or texturizing spray?? Can you also add in your comment what type of hair you have so we can all get an idea of what type of hair it works on??

    I have super fine hair but a good amount of it. My hair does not hold curl at all even though I have a little bit of natural wave :( and if I put my hair up in a pony tail (which is pretty much every day because I have a baby), it leaves a line when I take it down so I can’t go from having it up to wearing it down without taking a shower and starting all over. Maybe I should try something like this just to get my curls to hold? hmm…

    Batiste and a DIY one I make has always been my fave, but I’ve never heard of using finishing spray as a dry shampoo. I’ll have to give it a try.

    Dry shampoo has come a long way through the years. I remember when it was marketed only to folks in the hospital for long stays. (yep, I’m that old)
    My daughter used to use dry shampoo all of the time but began to have problems with her scalp, it turned out to be the dry shampoo so she quit using it. Everyone is different, so that may not be a problem for anyone else.
    Your hair looks great!

      I remember those days – and used it before. I also had the “no water” shampoo, but it just made my hair a crusty mess.

    I have never tried dry shampoo before but now I’m curious to see if it works with my hair type.

    I could not live without dry shampoo. Seriously, ha. It’s great for cleaning up my hair because I’m too lazy to wash it AND for giving me some texture. I really enjoy Batiste and lately the Not Your Mother’s brand. Both are inexpensive drugstore ones that work!

    Your hair is gorgeous. My hair is very thick and coarse. Depending on what shampoo/conditioner I use, I can make my washes last 2-3 days. I would love to get 4-5 days out of a wash! I never curl my hair though. I’ve only tried the Suave and Herbal Essences brand so far. Suave has worked great for me.

    This is excellent! I have been in search for one I really like and can easily pick up locally with out having to order. Can’t wait to see how the two compare.

    I have very similar thickness to you it sounds like, except mine is naturally pretty straight. I have only really ventured into drugstore dry shampoos, but I would love to try something more expensive like the oribe.

    That is interesting to know about wearing your hair curly. I just got a curling wand (love) and have been using it a lot. I’ve noticed it helps keep my hair better between washes.

    Your hair looks amazing. I’ve been on the search for a good dry shampoo. I have an oily scalp too and with pink hair I don’t like washing it often.
