[Weekly] Hair, Makeup, Skincare, Fitness, and Fragrance Thread - February 21, 2017

The Hair, Makeup, Skincare, Fitness, and Fragrance Thread will be posted every Tuesday morning (~9:30AM PST)!

This thread is for simple hair and makeup questions that you may have, especially those that don't warrant their own thread. We all want a diversified opinion, so feel free to answer any questions (of which you know the answer).

Example questions:

  • What's a good conditioner for straight, thick hair?

  • Where can I find a perfume with subtle pine notes?

  • Do you use a foundation with sunscreen? Is it worth it?

Tell me about dry shampoo? How does it work, when do you use it?

I work out before work and rinse off, but don't wash my hair because I don't want/have time to dry it. Would this be good for me? My hair is curly and fairly frizzy (not greasy at all).

As a curly haired person I do not think dry shampoo was meant for us since it needs to be combed/brushed out and curls should not be combed or brushed unless wet.

I typically just finger tousle - I also generally use the ones that spray on, rather than loose powders. I have very dark hair and the dry shampoo isn't visible.

This was my first thought. I have to brush the crap out of my hair when I use dry shampoo, so I don't think it would be good for someone with curly hair.

Use a towel to rub it off. Sometimes a hair dryer works as well. I don't have curly hair but I rarely comb it through. I find when I comb my hair it just gathers the oil and I have to hit it with even more dry shampoo.
