Happy Thursday all! Today I am bringing you what I have found to be the best way to make second hair manageable and fresh. I mean, if you are like me, you will do what you can to make your hair look great for as many days as possible between washes. Usually I go two days and on occasion I can make it 3 days...depending on what things I am up to that week. But when it comes to wearing second and third day hair, there are some important steps you must follow. Unless you have a really dry scalp that produces minimal oil and can get away with doing nothing... I envy you.
Over the last few years, I have been actively seeking out dry shampoos high and low to see what works best for me. By trial and error, returns and regrets, I think I have found the perfect combination of products that really makes my second day hair look like it was just washed!
I recently have fallen in love with the Bumble and Bumble Tonic Lotion. This stuff is such a universal product. The label says it contains a "rich mix of vitamins, herbs, and Tea Tree Oil- tames tangles, refreshes your head, feeds your hair, and soothes your scalp." I contest it does all of this. And not to mention, it smells fabulous! I always spray this all over when my hair is damp, but when my stylist told me I could use this on second day hair, I knew it was love. For second day hair I lightly spray this on my roots and around my hairline (front and back). What this does is restores the "freshness feel" and activates the products you may have used on your hair the day before. I then take my blow dryer on a low setting and dry it. At this point, my hair honestly looks a bit worse than it did before, but it feels fresh! I then take my FAVORITE and CHEAP Suave Dry Shampoo and spray it where my hair is looking a little oily. Be sure to hold it at least 6 inches away to avoid noticeable white patches. This absorbs oil like no other dry shampoo. (I love Batiste, but Suave is a fraction of the price and works great!) I use my finger tips and massage my roots to really help the product soak up what it can. This also helps blend in the white cast it may have left. After using these two products, my hair looks and feels so fresh! I then style it how I please, and I am ready to go!
Have you tried either of these products? If not, what are you using to achieve manageable second day hair? I'm always looking for great products!
