Dry Shampoo: Please allow me to shout it from the rooftops

To get through my day without emulating the classic Saved by the Bell moment when Jessie Spano howls, “THERE’S NO TIME! THERE’S NEVER ANY TIME!” while a fetching Zach Morris consoles her, there are certain survival tools I’ve learned to keep in my arsenal. Among many others, I have an extra shirt at my desk for the coffee that I habitually spill down the front of me as I dash to work, always carry food in my car for the moments I’m sitting in 6pm traffic and realize the aforementioned Venti soy latte was the only thing I had time to ingest that day, and most importantly never leave the house without Rene Furterer's Dry Shampoo. (All you blondes out there can snicker away while you use your baby powder, but that is just NOT an option for a brunette like myself.)

There are days that I just cannot find time to dry and style my hair- ok, so maybe this happens more often than not- and I used to spend my days A) looking like a frazzled poodle while my unruly hair smirked down at me or B) wondering who in the office could tell I hadn’t washed my hair since Saturday’s night out with the girls. I worry no more! Just a few sprays on my roots, a quick touch-up with my curling iron, and VOILÁ!, good as new. Don’t be intimidated by the $24 price tag ladies, a little goes a long way; I’ve had the same bottle for months now and use it often. I would thoroughly recommend checking this product out at Sephora**- if you don’t have the same luck you can easily return, or check out some of their other dry shampoos.

Renee Furterer’s Dry Shampoo is also a great way to fit in time to hit the gym. Before I discovered my little piece of heaven, the idea of finding time to work out AND having to wash/dry my hair afterwards was so daunting it was like I was being asked to hike Mt. Everest in stilettos. However, the patented formula instantly absorbs oil, sweat, and smells, while still leaving my hair soft and full of volume so I’m walking out of the gym looking fabulous in no time. The only negative thing I can say about Rene’s dream product is I no longer have an excuse to avoid working out. However, I’ll save the rants of my eternal battle with myself to make it to the gym for another time…

Yours,
The Diligent Diva
