DRYBAR Double Standard Cleansing + Conditioning Foam

December 21st, 2017 by Karen 9 Comments

I like foam in my gingerbread lattes and foam in my cleansing conditioners! I’m addicted to both.

WHAT’S A FOAM CLEANSING CONDITIONER?

Did you know that foam cleansing conditioners were a thing? Like O.G. cleansing conditioners, they gently wash and condition your hair (yes, at the same time), but unlike the traditional cleansing conditioners (co-washes), which have a lotion-like consistency, the foaming varieties are lighter, airier, and don’t weigh down your hair, resulting in a big boost in volume.

I had no idea they even existed until I started using R+Co Analog (it’s AMAZEBALLS), which, incidentally, I used to the very last drop.

I love it, but like a good beauty junkie, I wanted to see what else is out there, which is how Drybar Double Standard Cleansing Conditioning Foam ended up in my basket on my last Sephora trip.

It’s $28 for a 6.6-oz. bottle, and it’s just as good, IMO, if not a little better, than Analog in some ways.

Either way, I’m all about that #foamlife now. There’s no way I’ll ever go back to ye olde timey cleansing conditioners!

WHO’S IT FOR?

You name it — thick hair, fine, curly, color-treated manes.

The gal at Sephora who talked me into it told me that women who exercise a lot love it because it gently, but oh, so thoroughly, removes sweat and oil from your scalp, and it does it without stripping every micro-ounce of moisture or color from your head.

It’s a good fit for people who like to wash their hair daily but don’t want the drying effects that come with daily shampooing, or, peeps who want to avoid the buildup they get from traditional co-washes or heavy conditioners.

In case you’ve never used a foam cleansing conditioner before…

HOW TO USE IT

After wetting your hair, apply the cozy, caramel latte-smelling foam to your roots.

Massage it in like you would a regular shampoo to break up the oils, dirt and grime.

(Note: Don’t expect big bubbles as you do this, in case you were wondering.)

When you feel your roots are sufficiently de-gunked, work the remaining amount down to your ends (you might need an additional dollop if your hair goes past your shoulders like mine), then rinse it out.

And that’s it! No need for additional conditioner, although Drybar does recommend using a regular shampoo/conditioner combo after using Double Standard two to four times, presumably to prevent product buildup.

LOTTA LIFT AND CURL

My wavy, color-treated hair is on the drier side, and the first time I used Double Standard, I awoke the next morning with more waves than usual and lots of lift at the roots.

Like it does when I use R+Co Analog, my hair feels legit clean and hydrated afterwards. No dry ends! My scalp doesn’t flake or otherwise go nuts either, and my manufactured dark chocolate hair color stays on my strands, instead of washing down the drain.

What’s inside?

THE FINAL WORD

I love it. Double Standard does all the great stuff Analog does, but I think Double Standard’s conditioner, which is just as hydrating, feels a tad lighter than Analog, which is why I end up with so much volume and curl.

I still love Analog to pieces, but Double Standard is up there, too. I don’t think you can go wrong with either, but I’d recommend Double Standard if your hair is very fine, and your priority is loads o’ lift.

Another big plus: it’s easy to find, because it’s carried at Sephora and Ulta.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    If only you needn´t wet your hair with this. That is what keeps me coming back to dry shampoo: I don´t want to style my hair again. So lazy!

      Hi! It’s not a dry shampoo. It’s a conditioning wash. 🙂

        Yes, I got that, but I don´t think I would get much use out of it because I rely on my dry shampoo, that is what I meant. I am always looking for ways to go longer without my hair getting wet.
        And somehow I no longer get the notifications when you answer, I must check why that is…

    Ooh this sounds amazing – bet my wavy/curly hair would love it!

    Looks like this brand isn’t available in Australia- probably best for my wallet lol. Between this and the Oribe hair mask you posted about, I’ve got serious hair product envy!

    I might try this! I have colored hair and dandruff, but I think my problem is actually that my scalp is so dry it starts to crack and flake, and that causes the dandruff. All the dandruff shampoos (which seem to be mostly targeting oily scalps) only make it worse because they dry me out even more. I’ve switched to a more moisturizing shampoo and that’s helping. I’ve tried co-washes but couldn’t stand the greasy feeling, so this may be a good, gentle alternative!

    Im not sold on co-washing i think im far too stuck in my ways! Ive never been a massive fan dry shampoo either as overuse can cause your hair to fall out basically its pretty irritating to the scalp over time so my dry scalp would kill me haha

    I’m curious! I wash every day with few problems (I have very fine hair) but I’m curious, and I’ve been rotating in the Pantene foam hair conditioner and really like it.

Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
