Greasy, day-old fries! I’m still giggling over that.

I HATED this product so much. What a waste of $21. I bought it when my hair was longer because I color my hair so I wash it every third day. My hair usually doesn’t get oily but I wanted something on hand for emergencies (in case I accidentally sleep in and don’t have time to wash it) or to extend a hairdo if I went to the trouble of curling or flat-ironing it. I used it twice and the can was empty – and I only used a little bit (two short spritzes)! I bought it new in its box at Sephora.

But even if it had been a better value, it was a disaster! My roots literally looked like I dumped baby powder on my head. Gross. I had reddish, medium-brown hair at the time so maybe you have to be blond for it not to look like you doused your head in hairspray and then brushed it out.

When my nephew was a baby, he had surgery and my sister couldn’t bathe him for over a week. The hospital gave her this liquid, no-rinse shampoo to use on him, and pretty soon she and I were using it on our hair. I don’t know where to find this item (medical supply store?) or even what it was called, but it was wonderful. You would just put a few drops in your hands, rub your hands together and run them through your roots. It would dry fairly quickly and the oiliness was gone! No powder, no mess, and super quick. If I ever find out what it was, I’ll let you know.

Okay, I’ll give it another try with a lil’ shake. Hopefully that will solve my over-application woes.
