The Best Dry Shampoo: The Key to Fresh Hair All Week

the best dry shampoo

We can’t believe we’ve been back to school for over a month! The time has been flying by, and it’s been a rude awakening going from sitting at home in our pajamas until lunch time to 5am wake ups and running out the door! If quarantine has taught us anything, it’s that washing our hair every day is a thing of the past! Since starting back to school, we’ve been craving a quick morning routine that still leaves us feeling ready to take on the day. Our secret to fast, fabulous hair is the Pantene Waterless Collection (available at Meijer)! It features some of the best dry shampoo we’ve ever tried along with some other amazing hair refresh products!

The Perfect Products for Every Day of the Week

It’s no secret that our hair isn’t the same every day! Some mornings, we wake up, shake out our ponytails and walk out the door. Other mornings, it’s an ordeal to look like we didn’t stick our finger in a light socket! With the Pantene Waterless Collection, you can find the perfect product for your hair needs for each day between washes. We also love how each product targets shine, hydration, and your unique hair type! We both have fine, wavy hair and love finding products that don’t weigh our hair down. Below you can find a week’s worth of hairstyles and read which Pantene Waterless Collection products we used on specific days!

Our Hair Needs

Since our hair is both wavy and fine, we love switching between products depending on how we plan to style our hair each week! Here are the products we recommend for wavy and fine/flat hair:

 

Wavy Hair:

  • Cheat Day Dry Shampoo Foam
  • Mist Behaving Dry Conditioner Mist
  • Curl Affair Curl Reshaping Cream

Fine/Flat Hair:

  • Never Tell Dry Shampoo Spray
  • Mist Behaving Dry Conditioner Mist

Day One Hair: Shiny Curls

On wash day, usually the weekend for us, we love to wear our hair down and show off all the shine! There’s nothing better than that clean hair feeling, which we love being able to achieve without the water during the work week!

Day Two Hair: Half Up Style

Our hair is still feeling pretty clean on day two, but we always notice a little bit of extra frizz and dry ends. With a half up half down look, you can stretch out day one curls and maintain your root volume for the rest of the week! We recommend the Pantene Mist Behaving Dry Conditioner Mist to boost shine and tame any fly-aways. It smells amazing and won’t weigh down even fine hair like ours!

Day Three Hair: Curly Side Ponytail

One of our favorite midweek hairstyles is a curly side ponytail. It takes just a few seconds to style in the morning and is a fuss-free look for a busy day. Our roots are starting to feel slightly dull, so we apply just a few more sprays of the Dry Conditioner Mist for a fresh boost. Add a cute hat for the perfect finishing touch!

Day Four Hair: Twisted Bangs

This is when our hair starts needing some extra TLC to look its best and make it to the next wash day! Twisting our bangs back helps our skin from feeling oily and is another great no-fuss style. If you’re looking to refresh your curls and keep the frizz at bay, we love the Pantene Curl Affair Curl Reshaping Cream and Cheat Day Dry Shampoo Foam. We first recommend applying the Dry Shampoo Foam and follow with a small amount of the Curl Reshaping Cream to bring our bounce back! You won’t find any drying alcohols, sulfates, or parabens in this dry shampoo either! After applying these refreshing products, we may only have to re-curl a few pieces for a finished look. We try to avoid heat restyling as much as possible since our hair is pretty fine and can damage easily.

Day Five Hair: Bubble Braids

What can we say about bubble braids except that they are the perfect fall style! They look so cute with a hat or scarf, and are also great for stretching your hair one last day before washing. By the end of the week, we’re always looking for a quick, cute style that gives our hair a volume boost! The great thing about bubble braids is that you can stretch them to get as much body as you want. Even fine hair like ours does great with this style! Our hair starts to feel ready to wash around day five but we’re always looking to get one more day out of our wash! The Pantene Never Tell Dry Shampoo Spray is insanely light, smells amazing, and will give your hair the end-of-week boost it deserves!
