Dry shampoo for cleaning your hair

Have you ever used dry shampoo to clean your hair? I have learned about it several years ago but have never actually seen an actual bottle nor used it.

I know many Chinese people observed a taboo of not washing their hair with water for several weeks after delivering a baby. The taboo is observed with the belief that exposing yourself to water too soon will cause rheumatism and arthritis later in life. I don’t know if that belief has some basis, but I cannot imagine washing my hair for a couple of days, what more a couple of weeks! I would think a bottle of Spray Powder shampoo is going to be handy in this situations, don’t you think?

If you have wavy hair with very active oil glands like me, you will understand the meaning of “bad hair day” whenever you can’t wash your hair daily due to whatever circumstances you are in.

I remember during a trip to Cambodia and Vietnam many years ago, we took a taxi (which is a pick-up truck) from Phnom Penh to the border of Vietnam (I can’t remember the name of the town). The whole journey took us about 12 hours. The pick up truck rocked so much as it ran through paddy fields, potholes and unpaved roads, which stirred up so much dust we couldn’t even open our eyes. Even though we wore scarves to keep our hair from the dust, by the time we reached the destination 12 hours later, our hairs were caked.

The worst was not that, we discovered that the whole town was having a temporarily water cut due to some road construction work that day when we arrived at the guest house. After wearing a scarf and a hat all day, our hair were in a mess, not to mention the dust that caked on the hair. We bought a few bottles of drinking water and washed our hair with the water! How we wished we had known about Salon Grafix Spray Powder Shampoo then!

This reminds me that we need to keep a bottle of Salon Grafix Spray Powder Shampoo in our carry on luggage the next time when we travel to places like that. Do you know we can even order the shampoo to match the color of our hair ? I think it’s also a must to have if anyone would want to have clean shining hair without grease after being on a trans-continentals flight for more than 20 hours!
