A weekend or two ago I discovered an amazing product via my dear friend and cousin (in-law) Kat. We were bunking together on a family visit and I noticed she had this
on the night stand. I asked her what it was and she said, “The best stuff ever… miracle in a bottle.” Well, of course that peaked my interest and I just had to try it immediately. The name of the product is SG (Salon Grafix) Spray Powder Shampoo – Blonde Shade and it is genius, GENIUS! The purpose of the dry shampoo is so that you do not have to wash your hair everyday – GENIUS! You just spray this on the your hair-part and your crown, then brush your hair. Now, this does not replace taking a shower, people. You still have to bathe, but you do not have to wash your hair everyday and if you are like me and have long hair that takes FOR-ever to dry and style then it is awesome. I asked Kat how much this was and she said less than $10…WOW and she bought it at ULTA in the generic shampoo aisle. That is greatness, the less than $10 part!
I was purchasing this product. I did a little research on-line to see if I could find it anywhere else. I discovered that CVS, Walgreens, Target, etc… carry the SG Products and the dry shampoo but not in the blonde shade. I decided that would be fine and more convenient for me so off I went to the closest one which happened to be CVS. I was so excited about this new “miracle in a bottle” that was also a reasonable price, I could hardly stand it. I spotted it immediately and at the same time I noticed a similar product on the shelf below…
TRESemmé Fresh Start Dry Shampoo on sale for $5.49 versus the $7.99 for the product I had already tried and knew that I liked. Hmm! Oh and I had an extra care buck too, so it would be like $4.49 – I seldom pass up a deal and I like TRESemmé – I use their shampoo & conditioner, hairspray and other products. So, after contemplating in the shampoo aisle for 20+ minutes (this was a BIG decision) I went with the less expensive version of the dry shampoo.
MISTAKE. I was so disappointed. First of all, when you spray it, the smell is so powerful, like spray deodorant almost and takes over the whole room. It does leave a powdery residue which it should. It really was like spraying deodorant in my hair. Second, it left my hair feeling icky, as if I had put some gel or other styling product in it. I couldn’t even brush it. Bummer. The $7.99 price tag was not looking so bad, but I had already spent the $4.49 on this product.
I can not find the receipt anywhere and I do not know if I can return things like this to CVS, but I am going to march my devastated happy self up to ULTA and I am going to spend the $7.99 on the SG (Salon Grafix) Spray Powder Shampoo – Blonde Shade and I am going to be satisfied with my decision. Afterall, I totally deserve it after spending an extra 10 minutes in the shower washing out spray powder shampoo which is the exact opposite of what I should have been doing…I should NOT have been washing my hair AT.ALL.
If you’re like me and want to avoid having to wash you hair daily but want to maintain beautiful, healthy looking hair then, I definitely vote for the SG (Salon Grafix) Spray Powder Shampoo in your choice of shade. It is affordable and it leaves your hair feeling fresh and clean, which is exactly what a busy mom of three needs – in my opinion of course.
This is a personal review of a product based on my own experience. No one asked me to do this, nor did I receive anything to write this review.
Peace & Love
Oh Amber, Really?!
