Let your hair up.

So there I was, sitting in my hairstylist's chair about 4 weeks before delivering my boy. Nearly every time I go in there I complain about the fact that I have to shampoo my hair every single day. She always says the same thing: dry shampoo or figure out a good second day hairstyle to hide the second day obvious. But this time she also pointed out that I was going to have 12 weeks at home to experiment where I wouldn't have to go out in public unless I wanted to. She is brilliant.

So for the past 11ish weeks I've been here, just slaving away in my laboratory. After trying some super duper expensive stuff along with the super cheap, I am pleased to publish my research for you today. Ladies in a hurry to get to the office, moms, or basically anyone looking for a good shortcut, I've got some winners for you.

The new Suave Professionals Dry Shampoo works very, very well. Just spray onto roots and work in until your hair doesn't look white. Additionally, on a lark I purchased the above little spring-like gems by Goody, called spin hair pins. I have a lot (a lot a lot) of very fine hair that usually requires 1 trillion bobby pins to put up. With these, I whip my hair back and forth up into a bun, spin those little hair pins in, and voilà--up do. I found both of these at my local big-box discount store. They are now staples in my beauty arsenal.

Oh yes, it is an arsenal.

So tell me--what's your cheap beauty secret?
