Always Read The Label On Dry Shampoo’s

Normally during a new photo-shoot I try to bring along new styling aids to work with from the commercial sector (IE) drugstores, ulta, grocery stores etc. I like to try them out and write new blogs about the hair care products. So I rely on dry shampoo’s for taming the hair or for styling touch ups during the shoot. To much moisture in the hairspray and dry shampoo will weigh down fine hair and make curly hair blown either straight or curly will make it frizzy. Especially working in Florida during the summer months. So your beautiful blown dry hair will frizzy up in a matter of sections.

I brought along a new dry shampoo to use during this shoot and was unhappy with its performance and lack of volume. Though it says on the can of CLEAN FREAK it has “fresh volume” it does not. It is filled with a lot of moisture. and has no lifting quality’s to it.

There are many hair care products in the commercial sector for sale that do just as a better job and performance than a professional product. So I decided to use CLEAN FREAK.

The company NOT YOUR MOTHER’S says the following about the product.

  • Absorbs excess oils (Not really)
  • Cleans without water (Has a lot of moisture in the product)
  • Light matte finish (I seen no form of dusting to the hair or matte finish)
  • Spray generously on roots and throughout hair. Brush through to diffuse powder and watch it absorb any excess oils. Style as desired and enjoy your newly freshened hair.
  • Leaves the hair wet, I would not professional recommend this product to a consumer.

Everything You Need to Know About this Eyebrow Beauty Technique

What Are Soap Brows?

Simply take out a clean, damp eyebrow brush and bar of soap, run the bristles along the soap, and brushed the hairs in an upward motion.  Your brows will looked fuller, fluffier, and stayed in place all day long. The soap will worked better than any brow gel you are using now.  Ideally, the hand soap should be glycerin, uncolored, and unscented.  Just a clear bar of soap. For the soap and brush technique spritz your brush with alcohol. I recommend this type of makeup brush for the application of the soap. It is shown below.

It is a simple wet to dry eye shadow brush.  From there, gently run the damp makeup brush back and forth along the soap, about five or six times. (Don’t do this excessively or the bar is likely to foam up). Then, starting from the inner corners, brush brows straight up, all the way through.  If you’d like, you can go over the top edges to tame some of the wilder hairs for a smoother shape (usually closer to the tail of the brows).  If you need a bit more filling in? Feel free to add extra definition with your brow pencil right after your soap application.  Yes, soap is the $1 brow tool that just might change your makeup applications.  I would also like to thank everyone for reading my blogs. And also again use a clear soap for this application.
