Let’s Talk Dry Shampoo

Dry Shampoo. I’ve used this modern miracle for years.

When I first discovered this gem, I questioned why or how they could call it shampoo. It’s not like it actually washes your hair or anything. That being said, the sheer convenience of it left me not really caring one tiny bit about what it was called.

I embraced it wholeheartedly and didn’t give it another thought. Until yesterday when my husband was talking to me while I was getting ready. He watched me sprinkling the dry shampoo into my hair and looked utterly confused.

“What the hell is that?” I replied quickly, hoping he wouldn’t ask a follow-up question.

Like it’s such an obvious answer that no further explanation was necessary.

I was immediately hit with, “So it washes your hair?”

Damn. Damn. Damn. No! No, it does not.

How does one explain the concept of how dry shampoo works without sounding not only lazy but like a dirty skank head? Sometimes no response is the best option.

He doesn’t need to understand.
