The holidays are quickly approaching and as a full-time student, so are my final exams. Keeping track of responsibilities, relationships, and elements outside of your control can be hard. I rarely wash my hair, so I often turn to dry shampoo.

Though I frequently use dry shampoo, I’m not fond of many products I’ve tried using within the past few years. I’m naturally a darker dirty blonde, so some products tend to stand out in my hair or dull my hair color. In addition to that, my hair is thick and straight. As a result, I’ve grown accustomed to losing most of my volume whenever I spray it with dry shampoo. Most of the time, when I spray my already thick hair, the product can make my hair feel even heavier. There’s also the matter of how intense dry shampoo can smell and its gross feeling all day. Despite my natural dislike for dry shampoo, I will be the first to admit its convenience and that it’s necessary to keep my hair from looking like a total mess.

This week, I tried Blonde Wonders Dry Shampoo Foam. Schwarzkopf Professional’s dry shampoo foam was specifically designed for all blonde tones. I will admit I was pretty skeptical. Despite many shampoos advertising that appeals to all blonde tones, most of these aren’t true. When I started using the foam, I was pleasantly surprised.

I immediately noticed a difference when I rubbed the product into my hair; it didn’t leave a little residue of the shampoo throughout my head like most dry shampoos. I attribute this to its light foam format. The foam makes it easy to rub into your hair and fits perfectly with my naturally darker blonde color, even adding a little shine. In addition to this, the product maintained my natural volume.

I’ve been using this product for over a week and love it. It’s incredibly lightweight and easier to work with, making quick last-minute styling a breeze. Something must be said about how subtle but pleasant it smells. Compared to other dry shampoos, this product is never overbearing and fits my hair. I highly recommend this product to individuals of all blonde tones for a lightweight dry shampoo that won’t diminish your hair.
