How To Do Easy Beach Waves

So today, I’m here to tell you something I didn’t learn for a long time: WASHING YOUR HAIR LESS IS GOOD. It has been proven time and time again, that not washing your hair for a few days is actually more healthy for your hair.

I like to extend the life of my washes with the help of dry shampoo and dry conditioner. If you’re not on the bandwagon, you’re going to be after this post. Seriously, it is a HOLY GRAIL product. I use dry shampoo and conditioner in a few ways. First, I use it when my hair is just washed to add a little texture! My hair is typically really soft which doesn’t help when I’m trying to get it to hold a style. Adding in a dry shampoo helps it to hold. Then, I add a bit of dry conditioner in, to smooth everything out.

Second, I use it to give my hair a bit of life back after a few days of not washing. Adding a bit in at your roots really helps to rejuvenate your hair and give it that freshly washed look. If you’re looking for somewhere to start, check out Waterl<ss. It’s one of my favorite dry shampoo and conditioner brands and I LOVE the message behind it.

Waterl>ss was created by a team of scientists who were working to improve the non-wash days of our hair. When the products were ready for testing, there was a situation emerging in South Africa where the city was running out of water. With a need for products to help women on their non-wash days, Waterl>ss provided the people of Cape Town with an option to get clean, conditioned, and great smelling hair without using water. The Waterl>ss line is designed to work on a diverse group of hair types because we’re all different! They’re now available in the U.S.! You can check out more about their amazing story and products: here at Sally Beauty.

1. Your hair will get less greasy – It’s true, the more you wash your hair, the greasier it gets. Shampoo tends to strip hair of its natural oils, and the scalp compensates for that loss by producing more oil. While it may take a bit for your scalp to get used it to it, you’ll notice a change after a few weeks!
2. Your scalp will be less dry – For those of us with a dry scalp (me!), I’ve found that washing more often makes my scalp drier. Leaving a few days in between washing helps with the flakes!
3. You’ll use heat on it less often – When our hair is fresh, we tend to heat treat it more often.
4. You save water! – Good for the earth, and means you don’t have to do your hair as often? That’s a win!
