Product Review: Klorane Extra Gentle Dry Shampoo

Klorane Extra Gentle Dry Shampoo With Oat Extract ($16) has been my savior ever since I discovered it about a month ago. It's the perfect solution for when your hair needs a proper washing but you just don't have the time or the energy.

What I love about this product and why I think it stands apart from other dry shampoos is that it feels light on your hair. And since it's odorless, it's not going to overpower your perfume (something you better be wearing if you haven't showered that day)! And since the product is delivered through an environmentally friendly aerosol spray, the powerful mist gives your head really great coverage without having to rub your hands through your hair (which would make it even oilier).

Simply spritz, wait two minutes for it to absorb, and then brush your hair out well. That's all it takes to keep your hair looking fairly fresh throughout the day. The drawback is that it will really only last you one day. After that, my darlings, you're going to have to find the time to shower the good old-fashioned way!

Beauty Secrets of Designer Alice Temperley

While we're all waiting for Alice Temperley's collection for Target to hit stores, we can steal a few beauty tips from the London-based designer's recent interview.

While we're all waiting for Alice Temperley's collection for Target to hit stores, we can steal a few beauty tips from the London-based designer's recent interview. Alice is one of those women who always looks radiant and pretty-without-trying-too-hard, and it's no surprise to discover that her beauty routine is pretty low-key and natural:

  • Her best secret for having smooth skin? Sweeping the entire body with a brush, then following it with Avocado Body Balm mixed half and half with Herbal Vitamin Oil. Both are by Hildegard Braukmann, an organic German brand.
  • She uses Ylang-ylang oil in the bath and in her evening moisturizer.
  • She doesn't tan! Her favorite self-tanner is Garnier Summer Body, which isn't available in the States.
  • Her favorite shampoo is by Klorane; she says it softens without leaving build-up.

Shampoo Without a Shower

Even when it's been shampooed that very morning, hair can often end up greasy and limp by the end of a long day.

Even when it's been shampooed that very morning, hair can often end up greasy and limp by the end of a long day. But if you need to freshen up for a night out on the town, you might not want to put your hair through another shampoo. For a quick pick-me-up, try spraying your 'do with Klorane Extra Gentle Dry Shampoo. The tonic feels and works very much like hairspray. You just spritz a little bit on the area you want to clean, leaving a sort of powdery layer on your hair. After letting the shampoo set for a couple of minutes, shake out the hair with your fingers or run through it with a good hairbrush. I used the product to spot-clean my bangs the other night before heading out to a bar: Not only did the greasy, lifeless look instantly disappear, but my hair looked clean and bouncy for hours.
