Best Beauty Bets: göt2b Dry Shampoo

October 10, 2011 By Lena

I hate to use the word “fool-proof” with anything related to beauty. Most people will agree that there isn’t one product that is universally loved by everybody (not even the famous Maybelline Great Lash mascara; sadly, it’s a #fail for me).

So I’ve decided to name this series “Best Beauty Bets” – because darlin’, odds are you’ll love these products too. Here’s my first must-have for Fall 2011:

göt2b rockin’ it encore fresh DRY SHAMPOO: Having long, oily-ish hair that requires a thorough blowdry and style before my head sees daylight, you can bet I’ve tried a dry shampoo or two (or six). Previous contenders were of the powder variety; but maintaining a healthy, shiny look while dousing my hair with a floury substance definitely had it’s issues. (FYI – I’ve found that cornstarch tinted with a little ground cinnamon works just as well.) Therefore, when the good folks at göt2b sent me a variety of products from their rockin’ it line, the first thing I grabbed was the good ol’ snooze-button enabler.

göt2b’s dry shampoo is a spray (hallelujah) and a few short pumps offer a burst of cool, refreshing – and virtually invisible – freshness to the hair. I LOVE it. With no powdery residue and much of my hair’s lustre intact, I’ve been rockin’ it (pun intended) twice per week – allowing me to go at least 3 days between washes.

GRRR OILY ROOTS AND FLAT HAIR
AFTER GOT2B AND A QUICK BRUSH-THROUGH
VOLUME AND FRESH, REJUVENATED LOCKS
I’m also duly impressed by the fact that the day after I use the dry shampoo, I can once again skip a day of washing without a repeat application. So for example, if I wash on Monday and apply rockin’ it on Tuesday, then Wednesday morning my hair is good to go without any intervention at all. End result: three (3) full days of rock-star-fabulous hair.

Ladies, at just $7.99 for a full 122g bottle, y’all need to get this in your beauty bag. Thank me later.

*EDIT* If you live in Canada you can find this product for $1 cheaper than most stores ($6.99) plus FREE shipping from Well.ca.

    I can't wait to try this! Does it work if you already have styling product in your hair?

    OMG Shauna you will LOVE it. Yes, you can definitely use with styling product. I normally mousse and hairspray right after washing/stying, and it's never been an issue when adding the dry shampoo the next day.Just remember: the trick is short, quick bursts aimed at the roots. Let me know what you think!

    I tried the Tresemme (sp?) version, but I wasn't impressed. I should try this one.

    oh how I hate you for your natural volume! lend me some will ya? definitely want to be trying this soon! I could have really used this when my third was a newborn, showers were few and far between

    @confessions – I tried the Tresemme version to but it fell flat… and so did my hair. Really think you'll like this one.@MVTB – Hello! Did you see the first picture? No natural volume there. But that's why I love the dry shampoo – it "puffs" up the hair in addition to getting rid of the greasies! xo

    I saw this but would never think to try got2be products. Yet your hair is totally rock on so I may have to check it out. Thanks for the review.

    Lena, I did buy this last week and it is amazing. Worth every penny (I bought it at Shoppers but ordered two from Well.ca). I am recommending it to all my friends!!!!!

    I picked this up at Wal-Mart last night for about $6 and used it this morning for the first time. I adore it. Smells great and makes my hair feel so clean.

    I finally tried got2b dry shampoo, after reading this post last month. It’s awesome! Makes your hair fluffy and eliminates the “dirty hair” smell. This is why I listen to Lena!
