Second Day Hair Refresh

Natureluvr — Tue, 05 Mar 2024 16:42:50 GMT

I only wash my hair three times a week so I usually try to freshen it up on day two with a leave in conditioner. I have tried a couple, the one most recently was by Pureology. They seem to make my hair look greasy, so I guess I need a lighter spray. What do you use to refresh your hair if you don’t shampoo every day? I’m not talking about dry shampoo for the scalp, but rather the rest of the hair to the ends.

@Natureluvr I use a product by Kenra called Dry Texture Spray. It gives body to the hair making it appear freshly washed and styled. It's definitely not greasy. It doesn't take much to work either. You can spray for lift in the crown all the way to the mid shaft. If I used a conditioning product, it would certainly make my hair appear flat and greasy.

@Natureluvr Have you tried hot rollers ? I use those on the 2nd day to style my hair and create a new look. They're healthier for the hair than vurling irons and they're a great way to freshen up second day hair. Another option is using sea salt spray and scrunching the hair to create some texture and movement. I've had happy 2nd hair days with these methods .

👍🏻😊Thanks @cheriere and @SportyShorty07 !
I’ll look into the Kendra spray and also the hot rollers. I think Babyliss was the brand you recommended.

@Natureluvr Glad to help and excellent memory !! It was the Babyliss hot rollers . I love those hot rollers- its the easiest way to do my hair- and I get to watch tv while the rollers are in instead of being stuck in front of a mirror near an outlet . Also, Cheriere is spot on about that Kenra texture spray, it is fantastic!

The only leave-in conditioners I have seen, including the one from Pureology, are to be used on wet hair.

Hi @Natureluvr -- I am unclear what it is that you are looking for when you refer to "freshen up" at the ends of your hair due to non-washing. But leave-ins are not for that. They are for after shampoo, make the hair healthier if heat or color treated and easier to manage and style.

Are you referring to a flattened hairstyle? Do you use heat styling products every day?

Not sure how much help I can be since I don't heat-style my hair. I also only wash generally 4X/week (MWFSun).

What I do on 2nd day hair is I first try to style it by running a wide tooth comb through it to get tangles out. Sometimes now that is all it takes. However, if there are more tangles, I usually end up with frizzy hair and I have to spritz it down some with water after which I add some Ouidad Botanical Boost Curl Energizing and Refreshing spray. After that, I'll add a small amount of my styling gel in and scrunch well. I'll often add in some Tweak'd Chiuri Butter styler and then air dry.

I used to hate 2nd day hair, but things got much better once I changed over to Ouidad styling products. I have now moved on to another brand I bought on a whim and was very happy with, and my 2nd day hair now needs less styling than even with the Ouidad products, but the process is the same if I do need to go that route.

Sorry, I should’ve been more specific. My hair is a bit flat but also frizzy the next day, so I just need something to boost the volume but also add a little shine, if that’s even possible! 😄

@Natureluvr I have one of those "mister" from Amazon. I fill it 2/3 full and 1/3 with the conditioner I usually use. In between washes, I spritz it to refresh my curls or even if it's straight. I don't soak it down just enough to tousel it up and air dry.

***If wearing it straight after about 5-10 minutes of air drying, I put in several large velcro rollers for volume.

@Natureluvr the Kenra dry texture spray does work wonders for my hair which tends to go flat. However, when you add shine products that's tricky. By nature, they want to slick the hair down. This will require a separate product and whenever you use it, only use a tiny amount on the mid shaft down.

I use a texture spray too. There are a lot out there. I have used Nick Chavez, Oribe (expensive but works well), Calsita and a few others. They are all mostly good.

Okay… I’m going to try spraying with a mister then hot rollers, then Kenra spray. Thanks all!! 😊🩷

I think I’ll try the Ouidad spray, too. I assume all of these sprays go on dry hair?

I wash my hair 3x's a week as well.

In-between I use the following foam:

Medline Remedy No-Rinse Foaming Body Cleanser

I spray it into my hand and then kind of 'shampoo' my roots all over, pulling my fingers through to the ends.

It cleans, moisturizes, and the original scent is refreshing.

@Natureluvr Yes, spray goes on dry hair.❤️

@Natureluvr The Ouidad one can go on either dry or wet hair. I usually use it on wet-ish hair after I've misted it with water. I've got one of those misters that I picked up at Sally's.
