One thing I'm a big believer in? Dirty hair. Now I'm not talking so dirty if you took a dip in the ocean, it would cause death to sea life and animals. I'm talking about, if you have thick dry hair, you can stand to go a week at the most. Thin, oily hair? A day, maybe two. Medium texture hair? 3-5 days, depending on how fast it gets oily. A little dirty hair never hurt anyone, not to mention the fact that it's much easier to style with the added "texture". Especially if you're going for the real big pouf without a bumpit.
With that said, there are times when you're not sure if your hair is dirty enough to wash, so maybe you can get one more day out of your style. Or, like me, have bangs and have an oil problem from touching them too much. In that case, and many more, there are some wonderful products you can use to soak up that oil like a napkin on a greasy slice of pizza. The first, and my personal favorite, TIGI's Rockaholic Dirty Secret dry shampoo. It's a spray powder with a delicious scent that soaks that oil right up.
If you are not on the market for the pricey $19.95 price tag, you can always go with a less expensive approach in Pssst. Yes, it really is called that. You get the same effect, but, in my opinion, with a not so pleasant odor. You can get Pssst at any CVS or Walgreens and is an excellent dry shampoo.
Yet an even less expensive option would be baby powder. This being less expensive mainly because of the fact that most of you already have this laying around your house somewhere. All it takes is a light sprinkle rubbed into your hair or you'll look like you have a bad case of dandruff. Dandruff is not sexy.
Shower caps are excellent for keeping your hair dry while in the shower, as there is an array of fashionable shower caps available nowadays...these ain't yo grandma's shower caps. And remember, no one likes a dirty body. Lather. Rinse. Repeat, ladies.
