TRESemmé Fresh Start Dry Shampoo

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of TRESemmé. All opinions are 100% mine.

You may remember my review of TRESemmé Fresh Start Dry Shampoo for oily/straight to normal hair that I wrote a while back ago, when dry shampoo was still a relatively new concept. Back then, I thought it was an OK product but nothing more, as it tended to let me down a lot so I experienced with other dry shampoos, and I eventually forgot about this one.

Because I like to switch things up every once in a while, I recently decided to give it another try, and I was amazed at how great it worked! When I tweeted my success, it has been brought to my attention that TRESemmé recently came up with a complete line of dry shampoos that helps revive your style’s beautiful look and feel if you skip a shampoo:

• Strengthening Dry Shampoo : The formula, with B12 vitamins and keratin, helps strengthen hair and leaves it full of healthy body.

• Volumizing Dry Shampoo : The formula, with mineral clay and citrus, removes oil while injecting hair salon-gorgeous volume.

• Smoothing Dry Shampoo: The formula, with Vitamin H & Silk Proteins, refreshes your straight style by removing excess oil, impurities and odor to nsure your smooth look lasts.

• Moisturizing Waterless Foam Shampoo: The formula, with Witch Hazel, Citrus and Aloe Vera, refreshes your hair by removing excess oil, impurities and odor while moisturizing hair.

 

Uniquely formulated to absorb excess oil and remove odor, the full line of TRESemmé Dry Shampoos rejuvenates hair without a drop of water. With a renewing burst of citrus extracts infused into every products, it leaves hair with a clean, fresh scent.

Here are some tips to get the best results from TRESemmé Fresh Start Dry Shampoo:

• Shake vigorously before use and in between spray bursts
• Lift sections of dry hair and spray lightly at the roots
• Spray in short bursts, holding 8 - 12 inches from head (don't spray like hairspray, all over and continuously)
• Leave in for 1 - 2 minutes
• Use fingertips or a brush to distribute product evenly

*If clogging occurs, remove nozzle and rinse under warm, then reattach

Review: TRESemmé Fresh Start Dry Shampoo for oily/straight to normal hair

Price: around 6$ for 161 g

The claims:

TRESemmé Fresh Start Dry Shampoo is the perfect solution to clean hair without water anytime. The unique formula, with Mineral Clay and Citrus, refreshes your hair by removing oil and odour while injecting volume. Just a quick spay transforms lifeless, limp hair into clean, fresh hair full of bouncy body. It also helps to maintain hair color with less washing. With TRESemmé Fresh Start, refresh your hair anytime, anywhere.

How to use:

Shake vigorously before use and in between spray bursts. Spray lightly and evenly on dry hair, holding 8-12 inches from head and leave in for 1-2 minutes. Brush out, then style as usual.

First of all, here are some pictures of my hair before using the product:

While I had the dry shampoo on my hair for about 2 minutes:

And here is the final result:

 Pros:

• subtle and fresh scent
• quickly absorbs oil
• adds texture to hair
• adds volume to hair
• I like that it's an aerosol instead of a spray
• inexpensive!
• excellent alternative to wet shampoo, especially if you have colored hair

Cons:

• it's annoying to always have to shake during the process
• hair didn't feel totally clean (it doesn't replace a good shower)
• if you don't cover your shoulders, you will end up with powder all over your shirt and arms
• you have to thoroughly brush your hair after letting the product stand for 2 minutes, otherwise you will end up with white powder residues
• the package is smaller than a normal bottle of shampoo, so it will not last long (I have already almost finished my can of Algemarin Dry Shampoo)

What I think:

I know I might be repeating myself, but overall, it's a good dry shampoo. I would definitely repurchase it, because it's a great time saver, and as I stopped washing my hair everyday about 2 months ago, I absolutely don't want to go back to this bad habit. Maybe there's better dry shampoos out there, but this one does what it is claimed to do, and it's so inexpensive!

Repurchase or recommend? yes

Bargains from Jean Coutu + hair lust (Taylor Momsen) + Jessica Biel + giveaways

I went to Jean Coutu today to grab my prescription and, while I was there, I thought that maybe the new TRESemmé dry shampoo that Recessionista reviewed here would be available... and to my surprise, IT WAS THERE!!!

I know, I always say that I never buy products at full price, but I absolutely had to get my hands on that shampoo... and it was only like 6$! I can't wait to review it ^^

While waiting for my prescription, I quickly flipped through the drugstore's weekly flyer and came accross this:

The deodorant looked so yummy... and for 2,50$ each, I had to get... not one, but two! At least, I really needed deodorant because the one I'm currently using is almost finished.

So here are my bargains:

TRESemmé Fresh Start Dry Shampoo for oily/straight to normal hair

 

Dove Ultimate Go Fresh Burst nectarine & white ginger scent

Dove Ultimate Go Fresh Energizing grapefruit & lemongrass scent

Onto my hair lust: OK, I have to admit it: I'm so obsessed with Gossip Girl. Even more with Taylor Momsen's hair:

I've been wanting bangs (or fringe, I don't know or care about the difference) for some times now, because I hate my big forehead and my long face. I'd like to hide those a bit. I figured out that a dissheveld bang that don't need much care would do the job perfectly, but I do have one concern however: how do you apply your face cream without getting your bang all sticky or greasy? Do you clip it up on your head while the cream penetrates? And does it because dirty more quickly because of the constant contact with your face?
I really need some advices. Thanks!

Did you know that she played the little girl in How The Grinch Stole Christmas? I didn't until yesterday LOL.

I also wanted to share a little something that I noticed in a magzine (I think it was in Allure):

Don't you notice anything strange in this picture? Or is it just me?

First of all, I couldn't recognize her. It's actually Jessica Biel, but I don't know, something looks wrong, and I think it's her eye makeup:

I think her eyes look swollen and puffy, like if someone just punched her! Maybe it's because the makeup is too heavy... don't you think so? 

Anyway, I had to share this with you. Now I can get it off my mind (=
