We can all relate to the struggle of non-wash days when it comes to our hair. To wash…not to wash… can’t figure out anything other than throwing it up in a not-so-cute messy bun. Wondering why your hair looks a little more “lived in” than it really should. We’ve all been there.
I’ve played around with my fair share of dry shampoos, and I’ve gotta say I’m incredibly particular when it comes to them. A lot of dry shampoos seem to make my fine hair feel even dirtier which is just not okay. Some of them work great but leave too much white powdery residue, making you look even worse than you did with the greasy hair because well you now look eighty.
Can’t we just find a dry shampoo that has it ALL?! One that doesn’t leave you with a ton of build up but also doesn’t make you age thirty + years?? Well, Pantene just came out with their new Waterless collection and the Never Tell Dry Shampoo Spray is perfect for finer hair (like I have). It instantly refreshes your hair between washes, gives me instant volume, and the best part is there’s no white powdery residue! It’s made with pro-vitamin B5 and wild mint, so it’s seriously just as refreshing as it sounds.
Make sure that when you spray your hair, you’re holding the can about six or so inches away from your scalp. Always take sections of your hair and then try flipping your head over and spray underneath for extra volume!
Pantene also came out with a Mist Behaving Dry Conditioner Mist. It gets rid of any flyaways and always leaves my hair nice and shiny! Spray it on at the ends of your hair right after you use the dry shampoo for a really pretty finish. The best part is that both of these products are free of sulfates and parabens.
How do I typically style my hair on no-wash days, you ask? I’m going to give you my top five go-to hair styles because the messy bun just really isn’t my thing (and also doesn’t work with my new, shorter hair style).
1. Middle part with messy lived in waves
I typically curl my hair on the day that I wash it and then work with my Pantene Never Tell dry shampoo Spray and Mist Behaving Dry Conditioner Mist over the next several days to maintain the style. I will start with it parted in the middle and then usually flip it over to the side for a dramatic side part on day two or three!
I have always been a big fan of the half up and half down look. Sometimes I will add a cute little bow scrunchie and sometimes I’ll just rock the high half up pony, but it gives me all the 90’s feels and you just can’t go wrong!
4. Add a fun initial accessory
I recently discovered the cutest little bobby pins and it’s the easiest way to extend your hairstyle if you prefer wearing it down most days like me. Switch up your part, spray in your dry shampoo at the roots and add a fun accessory! Good to go.
5. Classic low bun
So simple and classic, you just can’t go wrong. Not to mention REAL easy to achieve. I just throw all my hair up into a classic low bun and just tuck any loose pieces back into the hair tie. Then you can add a fun bow scrunchie like this one for the final touch!
Non-wash days don’t have to mean that you give up on your hairstyle. If anything, make it something fun to play with throughout the week! I’m telling you, Pantene’s new Never Tell Dry Shampoo Spray and their Mist Behaving Dry Conditioner Mist…game changer.
