Dry shampoo was originally invented to assist those who were unable to cleanse their hair on their own or due to circumstance i.e. in hospitals and medical facilities. Nevertheless, dry shampoo has entered the hair product market and some wonder how this item can be an useful part of their hair routine. Therefore, what is the purpose of dry shampoos?
Dry shampoo is an excellent way to maintain or rejuvenate hairstyles without having to add soap and water. Moreover, if your strands tend to be on the oily side, dry shampoo can easily refresh, clean and soak up any excess oils. Not sure what brand you should use or try out? Try using regular baby powder which doubles as a great dry shampoo. Sprinkle the baby powder on strands then brush the powder out. Remember, the darker your hair color the more noticeable the powder will be; so then, go slowly using smaller amounts until the powder has been worked through.
Bonus Tip: Dry shampoos are also great post workout to freshen locks.

Hair Quickie: We always believe that you should get as much bang for your buck when it comes to household items. Dandruff is an unsightly hair issue that can be caused by environmental exposure to extreme heat or cold and by using too many hair products i.e. hair gel, pomades or hairspray. Mouthwash can be used for more than controlling bad breath, it can also help to control flakes. Use a cotton ball to dab on mouthwash and let it sit for half an hour before shampooing tresses like normal. Regular use can help stamp out dandruff as well as cast out bacteria on your scalp or in your strands.

Hair Quickie: If you have just colored or dyed your hair try to wait at least 48 hours or more before washing your strands. This is because every time you wet the hair the cuticle opens and you want to give your hair time to seal in the color. Therefore, if you are planning activities where you know you will need to shampoo your hair it is best not to color your hair right before that time.
Hair Quickie: Remember, not all hair is created equally, so what works for one person may not work for someone else. There are some that can pile on product after product and they will not experience any real build-up or backlash. Build-up can occur from the use of gels, hairspray, pomades and even conditioners. Nevertheless, if you notice that products seem to build up on top of the hair there is a easy solution. Try mixing 1 tablespoon baking soda with your regular shampoo once a week. Wash hair like normal then rinse out the concoction and dry strands as usual.

Hair Quickie: When growing hair and keeping strands healthy, nutrition is an essential part. For instance, if you notice that your locks have become dull and lacking of lustrous shine it could be your diet having a negative effect. Try cutting down on cholesterol and fats in order help bring life back into your tresses.

If you are searching for a hairstyle to help aid hair growth while still being stylish then braids could be the answer that you are seeking. During the Proenza Schouler Spring/Summer 2015 fashion show models trotted down the runway with hair fashioned in two long French braids. The hairstyle is a protective carefree style that needs little maintenance yet has added drama due to the length.

Remember when Rihanna made headlines when she performed her hit song Diamonds while wearing her hair in a wrap?
Well, we thought we would never see visible bobby pins and Rihanna in the same setting for some time, but boy were we wrong! The pins have reemerged for the March 2015 issue of W Magazine Korea, but in a little different style.
This time around only the front of RiRi’s hair received the pin treatment and the was rest was left to hang freely. Rihanna has taken black hairstyles to a whole different level and she has put it on display for the whole world to see.
We personally like the visible pin look, which has been seen during a number of runway shows and celebrity hair stylist Larry Sims created a similar look for singer Dawn Richards. Nevertheless, whether this look could translate into everyday life without looking too messy or unkempt is the real issue.
For now we say leave this look for editorial shoots or occasions you want to really make a strong style statement.
