Wife & Mom of 2. Beauty vlogger and makeup junkie. I post short reviews and photos, links to my videos from my YouTube channel.

Too many moms let themselves go (i.e. stop showering, putting on makeup, getting dressed...) I promised myself I would never let that happen!

Avoid ending up on one of Glamour’s cringe-worthy Don’t Lists with these dry shampoo guidelines.

Much like vivid red lipstick or potent perfume, dry shampoo can totally backfire if used incorrectly. You know what we mean: sticky, greasy-looking locks and lackluster volume. It takes practice, but once you’ve harnessed the product’s awesome revitalizing powers, it’s a game-changer. Impromptu cocktail hours? Bring ‘em on. Spin class-deflated locks? Fear not. With Serge Normant’s Meta Revive Dry Shampoo as our prime test subject, we’ve put together a compendium of dry shampoo do’s and don’ts.

Dry Shampoo Do’s

1. Do: Rotate different formulas. Stocking an arsenal of varying products, from aerosol sprays to loose powders, will help you tackle every hair gripe. We love to attack our AM bedhead with Batiste’s super powdery dry shampoo and boost volume with Serge Normant’s thick, texturizing spray right before hitting happy hour. P.S. According to office lore, cofounder Katia uses a different dry shampoo every day to score her signature, bouncy locks.

Wonder Polish Lavender retail price: 59.99

Two words: Smells AMAZING! There are actual small pieces of lavender flowers crushed into the scrub which contains fine grain dead sea salts. The salt itself is so gentle yet effective, your skin will be buffed and smooth. The blend of essential oils wraps skin in silky softness and nourishes deeply. Grapeseed oil is anti oxidant rich, Vitamin E helps repair wounds and extra cellular tissue. The smell of lavender stays with you all day and the oils condition skin after shower. I’ve been using this once a week in the shower and my skin is positively glowing!
