Sometimes we find ourselves in a bit of a rush in the
morning, but are still in need of a good shampooing. Or worse, sometimes in our
hurry, we become a little generous with styling products and leave-in
conditioners and are left with a greasy, sticky mess last seen on Professor
Snape. So what can we do when we have less than ten minutes to go out the door
and our hair is unsightly?
Well, there are several dry shampoos out there on the
market, but if you want to keep it as simple as possible or if it’s not a
product you happen to have laying around in an emergency, a bottle of baby
powder will always do the trick!
Step 1)
Let me make it clear first and foremost that I made my hair
greasy with a liberal handful of Organix Keratin Serum! No need to be grossed
out by my hair!
Lightly apply some baby powder over the greasy area. Take it
easy on the application, as too much will end up giving your gray streaks… not
fun. Work in sections, from the roots to (if necessary) the tips. If an area
doesn’t need it, avoid powdering it.
Step 2)
Run a soft-bristle brush through the powder until it is
entirely brushed into your hair.
Step 3)
Ta-da! You should be good to go! Your hair won’t be as shiny
as it usually would be, but at the very least you won’t look dirty or unwashed.
Note: It’s easy to use too much powder and end up with a
white patch.
If this happens do not, I repeat, DO NOT, use water or product to
try and smooth it out! This will cause the powder in your hair to clump up and
make it look like you have bald spots, at which point, you’ll pretty much have
to start all over again and wash the stuff out of your hair, completely
defeating the purpose of this tutorial. If you have too much powder in your
hair and brushing it just isn’t cutting it, try lightly tapping the area to
dust the powder off or hit it with a blow dryer until the spot fades. It won’t
be perfect, but it’ll cover you in an urgent situation.
Enjoy!
