Styling My Hair Between Wash Days
This post is sponsored by Pantene. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Lately, I’ve been focusing on keeping my hair healthy by not washing it as often. Not to mention how much time you end up saving when you wash it less! But obviously, it can be a struggle to keep your hair looking fresh and not greasy. On day 2 or 3, I'm typically able to style my hair down by using some of these products from the Pantene Waterless Collection.
Step 1- Cheat Day Dry Shampoo Foam: This is such a unique product unlike any other dry shampoo I’ve ever tried. It’s a lusciously whipped cleansing cloud- like foam. Typical dry shampoos leave your hair dull and rough but this is really hydrating and refreshing. It does not contain drying alcohols, sulfates, or parabens.
All you have to do is shake the can and put the foam in your hand and then work small amounts into your roots, working in small sections at a time. Work the product into your hair with your fingertips and then repeat wherever needed. You can also take a hair dryer to your roots to speed up the drying time.
Step 2- Smooth Talker Dry Conditioning Oil: This step is crucial to soften and nourish your ends. It leaves your hair looking shiny and smooth and gets rid of the crunchy feeling. It also smells amazing! To use, shake the can and spray from mid lengths to ends avoiding the roots. It’s the nourishment of a hair oil with the ease of a hairspray.
Step 3- Hot Mama Heat Activated Hair (Re)Freshing Spray: The key to refreshing my hair between washes typically involves using a hot tool, either a straightener or curling iron. In order to safely style my hair, I give a quick spray of this heat protectant spray to protect against thermal damage. It coats your hair in silk, jasmine and pro-vitamin B5 to condition your stands and protect them against thermal damage. Shake the can, spray evenly anywhere you'll be using a hot tool and then style with an iron or curling wand.
Even if I’m on day 4 of not washing my hair, I tend to do steps 1 and 2 before slicking my hair back. I love wearing my hair in a claw clip so I typically use the foam to refresh my roots and the dry conditioning oil to keep my ends looking smooth and nourished in the clip.
The Pantene Waterless Collection is available online and in store at Walmart.
