Unite 7 Seconds Dry Shampoo

A wise hairdresser once told me that washing my hair every day would eventually murder my color treated locks. Since that day, I have committed to washing every other day and on a rare occasion, rocking out a third-day-dirty do...not without a heavy head and greasy hair line though.

Thank the stars for this stuff! Unite's dry shampoo does exactly what it promises, unlike other dry shampoos I have tried in the past. This quick, easy solution to a non-wash day is ideal for those of you trying to preserve your own natural oils like me, a gal on the go, campers, athletes, or simply to freshen things up after a long day.

Redken Time Reset Products

Great line of products from Redken including shampoo, conditioner and corrective defense lotion. I didn't think that hair showed signs of aging (besides turning grey), but I was wrong. These products from Redken help restore strength, while making your hair feel soft and clean. Everything smells great and lathers well; however, the conditioner doesn't really detangle my hair. Love all three products and would recommend them to anyone with damaged and aged hair.

Review from Emily:
-Oscar Blandi Dry Shampoo: Works ok, tried it on 3-4 day old hair, but $20 bottle only lasted 3 applications!
Would not recommend.

EO - Shampoo and Conditioner

Shampoo and Conditioner
(Dry or Treated Hair)

I have been using the EO Shampoo and Conditioner after working out for the past few weeks. They come in thin, environmentally friendly, travel-easy bottles, that fit great in my toiletry bag. Both the shampoo and conditioner smell like chamomile with a hint of rose. It is a nice, clean smell. The shampoo is not runny or heavy, the conditioner is nice and thick. My hair feels light and smooth after I shower. All of the products made at EO are not tested on animals. They are made of all natural ingredients and essential oils (EO = essential oils). EO is a family owned company that prides itself on putting the planet and people first, not profit. They are a Certified Organic Manufacturer who make a wide array of products from haircare to cleaning products. I can't wait to try out the bubble bath! Check out EO's website to find out more about their all-natural products. http://www.eoproducts.com/Default.aspx

Oscar Blandi Pronto Dry Shampoo Spray
So, you may not understand if you wash your hair every day, but this "dirty hair spray" is awesome. Spray it on, brush it out (I prefer to use a comb) and your hair looks and smells clean! I may be down to washing once a week! I would like to compare different brands, I know Bumble and Bumle make a similar product, but I really liked this.
