Save or Splurge Thursday: Original Dry Shampoo

I was a bit late to the dry shampoo party — I used to (gasp!) wash my hair every single day. It was terrible for my scalp and hair (especially when I went through postpartum hair loss) and wasted a lot of time. Since then, I’ve tried a few dry shampoos (including one I carried all the way back from France). My favorite to date (and apparently the favorite of thousands) is Batiste.
This is the “World’s #1 Dry Shampoo” for good reason. It leaves a clean scent (“powder, lavender, and musk”), and like most dry shampoos, works by absorbing dirt, oils, and grease to leave your hair refreshed. Unlike other dry shampoos I’ve tried, it doesn’t irritate my scalp or leave a white residue on my dark, fine hair (although if you’re concerned about that, there’s a version for dark hair that has a little color). While it doesn’t replace actually washing your hair, it’ll revitalize your limp locks until your next shampoo.
This dry shampoo is is $9.39 at Target. If you don’t care for the original scent, it also comes in others, including “Clean & Light Bare,” “Light & Breezy Fresh,” and “Tropical.”

And — here are some of our latest threadjacks of interest – working mom questions asked by the commenters!
- The concept of “backup care” is so stupid…
- I need tips on managing employees in BigLaw who have to leave for daycare pickup…
- I’m thinking of leaning out to spend more time with my family – how can I find the perfect job for that?
- I’m now a SAHM and my husband needs to step up…
- How can I change my thinking to better recognize some of my husband’s contributions as important, like organizing the shed?
- What are your tips to having a good weekend with kids, especially with little kids? Do you have a set routine or plan?
I posted yesterday asking about parenting book recs for anxious 3 year old. CPA Lady – thanks for the response. you asked what in particular i was worried about – one example is that when my in-laws were visiting (who my kids love) we told her mom & dad were going on a date, and that her grandparents would be there after her nap to give her snack, put on her show, play, eat dinner, put her to bed etc. the entire morning she acted like a hot mess, clearly anxious about mom & dad leaving. she asks almost every day if our nanny (who has been with us since she was 3 months old) is coming the next day, wants to know the plans for like 3 days at a time (including what we are eating- which i haven’t always decided yet!) and what she is going to wear. anxiety runs in both my family and DH’s so i’m probably a bit cognizant of it, but would just like to be on top of it
I know this has been asked a million times, but the search function is failing me. Favorite backpacks for an average-sized preK/K kid? Needs to be big enough to fit a whole folder, so our current SkipHop backpacks are out, but does anyone know how the sizes for Jansport/Lands End/LL Bean/Pottery Barn etc compare?
And on a similar note, do your Ks carry a separate lunch box or does it fit in their backpack? Ideally I’d like only one thing for my kid to keep track of on the bus, but a backpack big enough to fit a lunch box seems large…
Any recs for a food or treat delivery in Arlington, VA for new parents?
Yeah, I refuse to entertain the idea that washing hair daily is soooo terrible. Even my hairdresser says the low- to no-poo thing has gone too far and it’s definitely not right for most people and hair types. (Also, I find dry shampoo leaves my scalp feeling even grosser and smellier in a different way. Hate the stuff.)
Bentgo vs. Munchkin Bento – thoughts? also, how many boxes do most people have for their kids? do you use the same one every day? do you have two so you can rotate or pack more than one day at time?
Anyone have a favorite potty insert? I’m training DS (2.5) this weekend using Oh Crap, and he’s asked to use the “big potty”. We have a potty chair as well, but I thought if he’s willing to use the regular toilet, that would be great.
IVF recommendations? I’m about to start my first egg retrieval cycle (as soon as my period shows up). I have unexplained secondary infertility. I have a tentative calendar from my RE that has an egg retrieval in mid-late July followed by a FET in late August (if I get that far). I don’t have any info on what meds I’ll be on yet. Does anyone have any words of wisdom or things they wish they new before they started the process? I’m not really even sure what to ask as I’m still at that this is all pretty overwhelming stage.
I posted on the main site too – after having my second kid my b**b sweat is out of control this summer and my regular bras seem to just hold in or compound the sweat. I don’t need a lot of support and prefer wireless – any recommendations that you all have found to be more wicking? Thanks.
We’re transitioning to the 2-year old room at daycare, and they want us to send in a blanket for naps. Our son has never used a blanket (uses a sleep sack at home, and I guess nothing at school currently). Any recommendations for a blanket?
Strategies for getting a 5 yo to blow her nose rather than sniff it back in? Eww, sorry, gross. She’ll blow her nose when we remind her but otherwise is constantly sniffing which eventually results in her throwing up because she’s swallowed so much mucus. Apologies for the disgusting post! :)
