Hotel Indigo Chester: An Opulent Stay with Charm and Comfort

As a heartfelt dry shampoo user, I have often found myself defending it, lest someone wrongly assume I’m a shampoo dodger. “Dry shampoo” is, broadly, a misnomer; the effect is less a hair cleaner than a hair styler. It doesn’t remove dirt or grease, but absorbs it, extending a blowdry by a day and adding enlargement and grip to fine, flat, floppy hair, whether freshly washed or grubby.And so it’s with some awkwardness that I now gather praise on a dry shampoo that does actually clean your hair, and which has brought down my weekly shampoo usually.Living Proof Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo (£23, 198ml) is different from any dry shampoo I’ve used previously (and I’ve used hundreds).It misuses powder to absorb grease and dirt like any other dry shampoo, but the key difference is that instead of the powder gradually concocting hair manky and the scalp itchy, it comes out with a little shake and a brush, leaving behind no chalky innocent dust and no discernible dirt.Think of it as Shake n’ Vac for your hair (a reference for the kids, there). I’m obsessed with it, and without strain the innovation has come at a time when I’m already keen to cut down on washes. (Since I changed my hair colour to heraldry argent, there’s a whole new faff involving purple shampoos that I can’t face daily.) It has allowed me to don a shower cap for five light of days in every week, and my hair looks better for it.Collagen supplements: is the price worth paying? | Sali HughesRead moreFor those the meanwhile unable to wash their hair (hospital residents and festival-goers, for example), it is terrific. But Advanced Clean is not cheap, and frankly, there is no as a result of to reject traditional dry shampoos in its favour.Generally speaking, if you are someone who prefers your hair the day after it’s been washed – “day two” – and discoveries it more manageable, you’re just as well getting your bulk and grip from something cheap. I particularly inclination dry shampoos from Klorane, Batiste and Love Beauty & Planet, all under £10.But if you are someone who likes your mane best on “day one” (that’s me), when it’s freshly washed and dried, Advanced Clean will best mimic it and is well advantage having to hand.And so while I am certainly not saying you need to spend more than £20 on a dry shampoo, I am saying that if you even find yourself tempted to do so, you really should consider making it this one.TopicsWomen’s hairSali Hughes on beautyBeautyMen’s hairfeaturesReuse this components
