What I got for my Birthday!

Hey guys, I know it's been a little while but I've been busy lately - working, organising my birthday and making plans for a couple of trips later in the holidays.

I thought it would be fun to share with you guys what I got for my birthday!

Dry Shampoo 101

For those of you who haven't yet discovered the wonders of dry shampoo, I'll tell you a bit about it. Basically it's a powder that you spray (or in some cases - shake) into the roots of your hair, which soaks up oil whilst adding volume and texture.

Did you know that it's actually bad to wash your hair every day? Doing so not only strips all the moisture from your hair, but also kicks your scalp into oil overdrive, causing your hair to get greasy faster than it otherwise would. Also think of all the heat damage you can save your hair by only blowdrying/straightening/curling every few days instead of every day!

With that in mind, dry shampoo is the perfect weapon for getting through those days in between washes, or days when you don't have time to wash your hair (hello, shower in a can!) Not only that but dry shampoo can be used on clean hair to help add volume and texture (even my boyfriend is hooked on it!)

The most effective way to use it is to part your hair with your fingers and spray a little bit into the roots from about 20-30cm away. I find it works the best if you let it settle in for a while to soak up all the oil, then massage and brush through.

So now you know a bit about it, read on to find out about some of my favourites...

Hey guys,

Of course there are heaps of other products I love that I didn't include in this post - I just tried to include the things I find myself constantly reaching for and constantly repurchasing over and over again.
