You guys know I’ve raved about powder sunscreen before, especially those from Colorescience and Jane Iredale. Well, today I found yet another use for it — Dry Shampoo! That’s right, it’s time to wipe that grease right out of your hair.
Today I was having quite the oily hair day. I thought I could go more than a day without washing, but because my roots are showing (meaning healthy, undamaged, oily hair), by mid-afternoon I was looking pretty “slick.” Not having a dry shampoo with me, I decided to pull out the only other option in my purse, my Colorescience SunCanny Powder.
Colorescience’s unique brush applicator made it easy to apply to the roots. I just started brushing and it instantly started to absorb the oil. Another bonus? It also camouflaged my dark roots.
The great part about using a powder sunscreen is that it also protected my scalp (especially along my part) from burning when I was outside.
But, you can use any loose powder you have as a dry shampoo. Simply apply to a brush and gently swipe along the roots of your hair. Make sure you take your hair in sections to really get in there. Then, when finished, used your hands to rub it in a bit and fluff up your hair. You’ll be amazed at the difference it makes.
I would've never thought… i must give this a try too
