I have been on the hunt for the perfect products to help boost the volume of my hair and have narrowed the search down to products that truly do an amazing job, and have some serious staying power.

IGK Beach Club Texture Spray – Although this is technically considered a texturizing spray, it gives really great grip to the hair that helps provide stay power for whatever style you’ve chosen for the day. I was gifted this spray many moons ago in my OG blogger days and loved it so much I have replaced it a few times over because I love the look it gives my hair.

Living Proof Full Dry Volume Blast – Not only does this smell absolutely delicious, but, it gives UH-MAZING volume to your hair! I would not recommend using this on your roots as it can get quite heavy, but, spray in an upward motion from the base of your hair to create the desired volume you wish…even if that means giant southern hair haha.

Design.Me Puff Me Volumizing Cloud Mist – Although this is fairly new to me, it has been a MAJOR game changer. It is legit not for the faint of heart when it comes to boosting the volume of your hair! One little puff is all it takes as you section your hair, and you will never know what hit you! It will give you some crazy texture, but, will give you the best voluminous result you’ve ever dreamt of.

Aquage Uplifting Foam – This is such a great root volume booster! I use this each time I get out of the shower and spray a thin like in cornrow-like sections around the crown and massage into the scalp. When you go to dry your hair, using a large round brush, or, drying your hair with your head upside down will really help the effect of this foam.

Bumble and Bumble Thickening Spray – Honestly this spray can be used for multiple things which is why I love it so much. I have used this as a root booster, and all over spray to help “thicken” my strands as well. It definitely gives your hair some texture, but, not so much that it will weigh it down. It is awesome for those that enjoy backcombing their hair!

Let’s face it, we’re all super busy these days. I can attest that there are never enough hours in the day to accomplish everything I need to do. Over the years I have been able to master a few things in my beauty routine to reduce the amount of time I have to spend getting ready so that my time can be spend elsewhere. One of those routines is my hair.

I have “trained” my scalp and hair to the point that I only wash my hair once a week. I can honestly say that with the use of an awesome dry shampoo you can not only stretch the length of time it normally takes between washes, but, can help reduce your styling time.

Here are 5 ways you can use Dry Shampoo to save time on your daily routine:

Refresh those oily locks – Spray the dry shampoo directly onto your roots. If you spray the dry shampoo all over, you will ultimately weigh the hair down which defeats the purpose. By holding the dry shampoo 8″-10″ from your scalp and spraying in sections, you will ensure that any existing oil will be soaked up in all of your problem areas.
Instant Volume – Dry shampoo will give your style an instant volume boost. After you have sprayed your hair in sections and wait for a few minutes to really let that dry shampoo do it’s job, take your finger tips and tousle your hair. By doing this, not only will you revive your locks, but, you gain some instant volume. Bonus points if you flip your hair upside down and do this…warning…you may look like you just stepped out of the 80’s with ginormous hair.
Prep and Prime – Dry shampoo definitely give your hair some texture. Think of it like a primer for your hairstyle. If your natural hair is fairly thin, or, ribbon-like (meaning it doesn’t hold a style and falls out of up do’s easily) then dry shampoo will be your new BFF. With the added texture your hair will gain, you will no longer experience bobby pins wiggling their way out, and same goes for any hairstyle you do that day.
Gym Tag Along – If you’re the kind of gal that works out, dry shampoo is a must for your gym bag. Not only will it revive those sweaty tresses, but, will give them a a refreshing scent. Pro tip…try spraying your roots just before you work out to soak up the sweat while you get your workout on!
Preventative Maintenance – Use your dry shampoo on clean hair. I have found that when you have squeaky clean hair it helps to spray dry shampoo onto your roots just before bedtime. By letting the dry shampoo work it’s magic overnight you will start noticing that you can go longer between washes which will save you a ton of time each day!

No that you’ve got a few tips and tricks up your sleeve, you’ll be excited about experimenting with dry shampoo, and seeing for yourself how it can make your beauty routine easier and faster. Before you know it, you won’t be able to live without it!
