Week of Great Hair: Slick-Free Sunday!


Batiste Dry Shampoo in Fresh, $9, ulta.com

Perf for girls with...
Oily scalps (which result in oily hair!)
 
Product promises...
Girls are busy creatures. Early mornings, gym seshes, after-school practice…sometimes we don’t have time to wash our hair every day! But if you have oily hair, daily washes might be a beauty must. Or are they? Batiste’s Dry Shampoo helps absorb the oil and product build-up without water. With a few sprays of this dry shampoo, your hair should look clean and feel fantastic between washes.
 
Real-girl reviews from the GL Buzz Babes...
GL's Buzz Babes tested this shampoo for seven day straight to dish the REAL down-low on whether it works. (CLICK HERE to sign up to be a Buzz Babe.) Read on for their reviews!

“It delivered what it promised: a great smell (yes!!!), non-greasy hair (totally), and refreshed hair (definitely)." –Emma B.
 
“Let me just say…this product is amazing. After a day or two of not washing my hair, it made it silky soft, not oily, reduced flyaways, brightened my hair and made it smell great all day long.” –Taylor R.
 
“I LOVED the smell. It was really fresh like the package promised—like the ocean and fresh linen.” –Emma B.

“It was perfect when I had to leave and I didn’t have enough time to shower. It made my hair look like I had spent a while doing it when I actually hadn’t at all!” –Taya G.
 
“I already recommended it to my sister, and she wants to try it really bad.” –Callie P.
 
“The texture of the product was nice, light, and airy. I think [it] was perfect.” –Taylor R.
 
GL shower tips for dealin' with oily strands:
  • Learn to wash your hair less. Instead, opt for a dry shampoo on especially shiny days.
  • Scrubbing hard with a shampoo does not make hair less greasy! It will actually increase oil production from those hair glands, making your hair look more slick.
  • Take your hands off your hair! The less you handle your hair, the less greasy it will be.
 
More faves:
  • Suave Daily Clarifying Shampoo, $8, amazon.com: Deep clean your hair once a week with a clarifying shampoo (such as this one!) to remove build-up of hair products and hair oils.
  • Lush No Drought Dry Shampoo, $13, lushusa.com: Massage this powder into your hair and then shake it out for grease-free locks.
  • got2b Rockin’ It Encore Finish Dry Conditioner, $4, walmart.com: Instead of opting for a typical conditioner, try out this dry conditioner! It works great with a dry shampoo to make your hair shine, sans the grease.

i have oily hair and get dandruff often.i used an anti-dandruff shampoo,while it removed my dandruff made my hair dry.now i use dove intense repair ,it has made my hair soft but my dandruff has returned.any ideas for me? thanks




Hey girl! That sounds tough. I'd recommend going back to your anti-dandruff shampoo and then adding on an oil treatment on the ends if your hair gets dry. Good luck!

so in my hair, no matter how much u cut it, i'll still hve split ends! How do i get rid of those, and keep my hair long (i absaloutly LOVE my length and nvr in a million yrs would chop it off, its 3/4 down my back) any shampoos or home remedies? Thx!

 

Hey fashiondiva4, mhmm it sounds like a trim should help. Be sure you're keeping your hair healthy and moisturized. Click this link http://www.wikihow.com/Remove-and-Prevent-Split-Ends, to read an article on split ends and for a video on how to cut them. I hope this will help you girly! Xoxo

I'm getting my hair cut tomorrow but I'm not sure what to do with it. It's curly and falls about halfway down my back. I want something different without getting bangs... Do you have any ideas for me? Thanks!




Hey girlie!

Try looking through pics of your favorite celebs and drawing inspiration from them! If you're going for something drastic it's great to have a picture that shows what you really want.

I heard that when you put lemon juice in oily hair and then rinse it off, it helps to lessen the oil. Is that true?
P.S - Thank you for the dry shampoo because I used to feel insecure about my hair. You guys are a life saver and I have been waiting all week for this.
Thank you Smile

I am going to the fall fair on the 15-16th of september and I was wondering what to wear and do for makeup. Thanks for you time Smile

 

Hey naiko3536, since it's a fair you definitely want to be comfy and causal. Depending on the weather, go for shorts, a cute top and sandals or tennis shoes with accessories. Or you could try a sweater with shorts, leggings or jeans, a tank and sandals. For makeup try something simple like mascara, eye liner and lipgloss. For hair wear it down or in a messy bun or ponytail. Hope this helps and have fun! Xoxo

Hey! I was a Buzz Babe for that shampoo, and my comment's up there with the other girls that tried this shampoo! Trust me girls, that shampoo works WONDERS! It will be TOTALLY worth the 10 bucks, because it literally is a life saver! If you're like me, and have pretty oily hair in-between washes, this is the shampoo for you. It smells soooooooo good! Sorry, I'll shut-up now, just wanted to letcha now how AWESOME this product isSmile

Every time I wash my hair,I towel dry it a bit, brush it and let it air dry and after it dries it has this really pretty natural curl. The problem is the next day when I brush it or even comb it with wet hair comb the curl goes away and my hair completely blows up and becomes a weird mix of wavy and curly. I can't wash my hair everyday because I'm Indian which means my hair is a bit different. Is there anyway to preserve the curl and still be able to brush/comb through it, preferably without gel/ hairspray? I can't avoid combing or brushing either because then I get an itchy scalp and bedhead.

 

Hey Scorpio27, mhmm you could always try putting your hair in rollers. Get some flexi rollers (type in flexi rollers in google and hit images). They are basically rollers that are long and flexible that you can bend into different shapes to get certain types of curls. For a soft curl like you want, I would take larger chunks of hair and wrap it around the roller. Put these in at night, so in the morning your hair will be curly and last throughout the day. You'll also be able to brush through it without it looking crazy when you're done. Do this every night and you'll be good to go! Hope this helps! Xoxo

I'm having a hard time finding jeans this year. The only type I like are super skinnies. I'm usually a size zero when jeans fit, but most of the time they are too tight on my hips and too loose on my legs. I buy regular length jeans because I'm 5'8. American eagle and aero jeans don't fit me. Abercrombie and fitch jeans fit really well, but are very expensive...I don't spend more than 30 on jeans. Do you know any good places to buy them.

 

Hey Strawberries101, mhmm try the junior sections at Macys, Nordstrom and Sears. Urban Outfitters has some nice jeans too that are only a few bucks over $30. Hope this helps! Xoxo

i filled out the GL buzz babe survey when it first came out and i've been trying to be patient but i still haven't heard anything was something not right and should i fill out a new survey? if i do become a GL buzz babe do i have to buy the products

 

Hey jazmine ann,  no there was nothing wrong with your entry. It's just that so many other girls submit one, and maybe they felt that someone else's survey was a better choice at that time. I would definitely submit another entry. If you do become a buzz babe, continue using the products you us everyday. You don't have to go out and buy new stuff. Hope this helps! Xoxo
