Bumble and bumble's Pret-a-Powder, $12—$27
I fucking hate washing my hair. My natural texture is this frizzy, horrible mix of waves and curls, severely damaged from years of bleach and flat ironing. I wasn't blessed with naturally great hair, which means that I need to style it, which means that I have to wake up extra early and spend 30 minutes trying to make it look like I didn't just get mauled by one of those Dyson Airblade hand dryers in an airport bathroom. Any excuse I can get to wash and style my hair less is one that I will take. Fast.
For years, I tried to find the perfect dry shampoo. It's hard to nail the perfect mix of a product that legitimately makes your hair look not greasy and doesn't leave that white powdery residue that looks like someone dumped cocaine on your scalp. I went through probably 20+ (not an exaggeration) dry shampoos until I found the Bumble and bumble Pret-a-Powder, which I've been using exclusively for almost two years.
It works like this: You just shake the powder onto your hair closer to the root, then you rake it through your hair with your fingers to distribute it around the hair. You don't need much, and the best part is that it literally disappears into your hair. Right now I have highlights, but even when my hair was dyed a dark brown shade, it still disappeared. It doesn't feel sticky or gritty, it just makes your hair feel a pinch thicker than usual (and if you use it for a few days in a row, it can build up a bit and feel even thicker). I actually like the texture of my hair better on the second, third, and fourth day after washing, so I started using the powder on my hair even when it was clean to get that texture.
Before this, I used to wash my hair every other day, and now I can stretch it up to six days if I really need to, which means I use a curling iron less frequently on my hair, so it's actually in a healthier state. The one thing to keep in mind is that I really use my fingers to work shampoo through my hair when I DO wash it so that I don't get product build-up clogging my scalp. Oh, and BTW, I've had the same bottle for those two years. It lasts FOREVER.
Also, FYI, I still shower even though I'm not washing my hair. Shower caps are a lady's best friend. — Augusta Falletta, Deputy Style Editor
