The Look: A Fresh Blowout (That's Actually Days-Old)
Mix a dry shampoo + a volumizing hairspray
We all love using dry shampoo when we need to fake clean hair, but more often than not, that quick fix is gone within a few hours and that greasy, limp look reappears. David says the secret to making faux freshness last all day is pairing the dry shampoo with a volumizing hairspray. The dry shampoo will get rid of any oily build-up while the hairspray will add volume from roots to tips.
To begin, spray the dry shampoo at the roots. Don't be afraid to overuse the product; you want to spray a liberal amount of shampoo. Next, use a paddle brush to massage the dry shampoo into your scalp and distribute it through your hair. Finally, mist the volumizing hairspray at your roots for even more lift.

Informative. I especially liked that curly hair cocktails were included.

This was so helpful because when I use the wrong products together my hair is limp and greasy and I needed a little tip on how to get natural looking hair with the right mix of products.

This provided me with some helpful hair combinations! Many hair products aim to achieve one specific thing, but sometimes it takes more than one product to achieve an overall "look" so this was great.

I wish we could bookmark articles to come back to later! Like a heart feature or something.
