Back when I was a party girl and hitting the clubs 3-4 times a week, I can’t tell you how many times I’d wake up on a weekday morning after a long night of clubbing, totally late for work, and no time for a long shower. I can remember MANY times throwing my long hair into a ponytail, shellacking it with hairspray, and heading into work. The hairspray saved me from having super oily hair by the end of the work day, but man it was rough on the hair.
Fortunately I don’t have that problem now. But did you know that there’s a product out there that is a dry shampoo? It’s a powder that comes in four basic hair colors (brunette, blonde, silver and black – sorry redheads!), and my presumption is that you put the powder on your hair and it absorbs any oils that you have, thus making it appear clean. The website doesn’t really go into details, so that is merely my presumption on how it works to make your hair clean.
That dry shampoo stuff would have been AWESOME to have during my party days when I only gave myself 15 minutes to get ready for work.
Actually, they used to have a product like this many many years ago called Pssssst! It was a spray shampoo that worked the same way. When they stopped making it, I would just use regular powder (like baby powder or face powder) and brush it through my hair for a quick “mini-poo”. You are right – the powder absorbs the oils and makes your hair look clean! Brilliant!

I have something like this! A friend gave some to me when I was in the hospital, but I never used it. I should try it on the days I work at home and a shower never happens.
