What to Use if You Don’t Have Dry Shampoo
I was running late for a meeting, and I realized I had forgotten to wash my hair. I didn’t have time to wash and blow dry it, and I didn’t have any dry shampoo on hand. I was desperate, so I started to look around for something to use. I found a can of baby powder, and I decided to give it a try.
To my surprise, it worked great! The baby powder absorbed the oil from my hair, and it made my hair look clean and refreshed. I was so happy that I had found a solution to my problem. I’ve been using baby powder as dry shampoo ever since, and I’ve never had a problem with it.
