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.

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!
OK – I just LOVE your before photo, grrrr….Great post as always Lena, I need to try this!!
Thanks Tammi! Grrr…
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.
I definitely need to try this!! I've used other dry shampoos but this one is more reasonably priced!
@Kendra & mapsgirl – let me know what you think of it!
I'll have to try this, I've been using Klorane but it's expensive and hard to find. Thanks for the review.
Okay, so I picked it up at SDM, and 1. OMGee it's great and 2. it's on sale for $4.99!!!
@Amy – tell me what you think!@Monica – SQUEE! So happy you gave it a try and love it – and, thanks for the tip! Time to stock up!
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.
Thanks for the tip!
Great Before and Afters! Love it!
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!
That’s awesome Fay! So happy you tried the product – and love it!
I’ve tried a lot of dry shampoos but I haven’t used this one yet. The results are great!
