"  When I first heard about it, I thought it was revolutionary: Dry shampoo? A way to clean your hair without getting it wet? So ingenious! So convenient! So I thought \u2014 until I found out it&amp;#039;s been around since the &amp;#039;70s. But everything old is new again, right? In any case, dry shampoo is making a comeback. What the heck is it, you ask? Basically, it&amp;#039;s a powder, usually starch- or talc-based, that absorbs excess oil from your locks to eliminate that greasy look. You can find it in the drugstore for about $5 or splurge on a luxury bland like Oscar Blandi for $30 at the salon. While older formulas made hair look chalky, the new formulations are either clear or hair-colored so they virtually disappear. They also now come in easy-to-apply-evenly aerosol sprays. Tresemme, an affordable drugstore brand, even offers a mousse specifically tailored for curly hair that can&amp;#039;t be combed through.  While dry shampoos were saved for quick-fix emergencies in the &amp;#039;70s, I&amp;#039;ve incorporated them into my regular routine. Why do I love them? Let me count the ways.  1. They&amp;#039;re huge time savers \u2014 they give me an extra day or two between laborious sessions of blow drying and flat ironing my ringlets into submission.  2. I reduce the amount of heat I subject my hair to so it&amp;#039;s softer and has fewer split ends.  3. By not wet shampooing as much, I leave in more of my hair&amp;#039;s natural oils and it looks shinier.  4. Fewer washes means it takes more time for my hair color to fade, so fewer visits to the salon..saves time and money!  5. Extra volume! I even know a few girls who use dry shampoo when their hair isn&amp;#039;t the least bit dirty to give it oomph.   Try one yourself and let me know what you think.
