I have a dirty little secret: I sometimes go a full week without washing my hair. Now, before you go and call me gross, hear me out. I have super-thick, coarse, curly hair, and it gets seriously dry. Shampooing frequently just dries it out even more, so I like to wait as long as possible before I have to do it again. That's especially the case when I blow-dry my hair. It takes a whole lot of effort to smooth out my curly hair, so you better believe I'm going to do everything in my power to limit the number of times I have to style it each week (don't worry, I still hop in the tub every day to clean my body!).

That's why I'm such a big believer in dry shampoo. In fact, I love dry shampoo so much that I recently used a different one every day for a week to see if it would keep my at-home blowout fresh and clean while I hit up yoga and cycling classes, went out for post-work dinner and drinks, and attended an action-packed basketball game. Keep reading to learn what I thought of each dry shampoo I tried.
