beauty: the stuff that saves my mornings and my job

I don't wash my hair every day. Really, I try and go two to three days without washing it. Three days is max for me. I have super fine hair. It's thick, but boy, is it fine. Like...so fine, hair spray only works for about 20 minutes before falling down. Unless I want it crunchy. Which, you know, works if I was a leaf during fall or something.

I don't wash my hair everyday for two reasons. Reason number one, it makes my hair feel so much better and it falls out less. Reason number two, I hate getting up really, really early. Unfortunately, I have to get up really early, because my job is an hour away. Not having to wash my hair leaves me more time to sleep.

A product that's really helped me prolong the time between washing is a dry shampoo called Play it BIG by Salon Grafix. I bought this stuff at Walmart.

If you have dark hair like mine, and you've used dry shampoo before, you know that a lot of dry shampoos make you look like you dumped a whole bunch of baby powder on your head, even when you brush it out like the directions say to do. I like this stuff, because it is the same color as my hair, so I don't get that gross white residue.

The directions on this stuff say to hold it 10-12 inches away from your hair, then spray. PLEASE DO THIS! I made the mistake of not holding it that far from my hair, and it made my hair feel horrible. But, when you do follow the directions, this stuff is amazing!
