Quick Fix For Oily Hair: Tresemmé Dry Shampoo

Product:Tresemmé Fresh Start dry shampoo


It's the perfect product for second or third day hair. It's not good to wash your hair every day, because you wash out too many of the essential oily that need to get from your scalp to the rest of your hair. Usually I can withstand a day in between washes, but sometimes when I wake up my scalp is too oily and my hair is really flat. Dry shampoo is the perfect fix. It's really fast and exremely effective.

Process: You just have to lift up sections of your hair around your crown and the front of your head, and shake the bottle and spray into the roots. Shake the bottle before everytime you spray. Let the product sit in your hair for a a minute or tow. Then you can rub it into your scalp and brush through; you can style it however you want from there.

Results: Your hair is left with volume, and not looking oily. Your hair looks as if it was just washed, without having too wash it too often or having to wait for it to dry.

Overall: This product in no way can replace your regular shampoo. This product really is amazing for the price; it's the perfect drugstore option among all the expensive, salon brands. The nozzle tends to clog up and won't dispense anymore product. When this happens, you run the nozzle under hot water for a minute. After that it works perfectly fine again.

How To Maintain Healthy Hair

Everyone wants storng, healthy, shiny hair. Here are some tips how.

1. Limit the amount of harsh chemicals and products exposed to your hair. One major thing to stay away from is sulfates. Sodium lauryl sulfate is one of the first ingredients listed on many shampoos. sulfates can strip the hair of importnat nutrients, and can iinhibit growth of hair.
2. Even if you are using a sulfate -free shampoo, it is important not to wash your hair everyday. Although people think that clean is better, your hair produces immportant oils at the root and those oils need to have the chance to migrate down towards the tips. Instead, wash your hair every other or every two days. Days that you don't wash your hair, put it up in a shower cap so that it doesnt get wet. If you think that your hair is too oily not to wash every day, that fight the urge to shampoo it by using a dry shampoo.
3. Limit the amount of heat your hair is exposed to. Personally, I think that this is by far the hardest rule to follow. Like most people, I feel the urge to always straighten or curl my hair. But the level of heat that most heating tools give off is extremely harsh on the hair. Instead, try to find heatless styles to limit the amount of heat. Simple buns and braids are a fast and easy way to fix a bad hair day, without damaging the hair too much.
4. Protect your hair! If you are going to use a heating tool, you should deffinately use a heat protectant!! This counts for all flat irons, curling irons, blow dryer, hot rollers....any hair tool that emits heat needs to be protedcted agains by a heat protectant. And never use a hot tool on wet hair! Hair must be completely dry before beign styled with heat, except for a blow dyer of course.
5. Get your hair trimmed regularly. This is another rule that I find ard to follow, but hair wont be healthy with split ends. Although the rumor that hair that has split ends wotn grow is false, your hair will only keep splitting farther up the hair shaft.By not getting hair tirmeed regularly your goign to end up needing to cut more off when you do get it cut.
