The In-between Days

We all know it; especially the ones that have the super long locks. Washing our hair can be a chore; luckily hair experts advise not to wash out hair more than two/three times a week, but even then during the week its not always easy! I admit I have days when I just don't have the energy to wake up extra early to wash and dry my hair so I need something to help me out on those in-between days and thats where Dry Shampoo comes in.

Dry shampoo was a phenomenon for women across the world when it first came out; it promised to banish the grease and make your hair have that "just washed" look with volume and we all just ran to our local Boots to empty out the shelves. However although Batiste being the Big Daddy of dry shampoos I just did not get on well with it; it left a chalky residue; much like the days when girls used talcum powder to banish the grease (you know you did it too), if it wasn't blended properly it was there for the world to see. I also found that Batiste lost its volume and "refresh and revive" abilities within a few hours of applying it; so you would have to top it up leaving you with a itchy scalp and some serious build up!
But then came along CO-LAB Invisible Dry Shampoo; created by the amazing YouTube beauty guru, Model and blogger Ruth Crilly (AModelRecommends) http://www.amodelrecommends.com/

"Invisible" that in its self reeled me in...no chalky grey streaks yay! This Dry Shampoo works great to refresh and revive my hair. I usually grab for it on day 2 or 3 after washing my hair and it really brings back the oomph that is needed. With my thick hair; other brands would have to be used pretty generously but with Co-Lab I'm not spraying most of the bottle on to my hair. As with any dry shampoo you would need to spray this from a slight distance and brush it through. It can be used if your hair is feeling slightly greasy or if you just need to add some volume and texture. I definitely prefer these to any other dry shampoo I have tried; the formula is light weight and invisible for sure. 

Co-Lab comes in 5 scents; Tropical Rio, Fruit New York, Classic London, Oriental Tokyo and Floral Paris. So theres one to suit everyones taste, out of the five I have tried, Rio, Tokyo and London; Rio being a firm favourite. Whats great is they all come in a miniature size, which is a perfect size for your handbag and for travelling. 

You can buy Co-Lab from Superdrug or FeelUnique.com: £3.50 (200ml) and £2 (50 ml)
