My First Dry Shampoo Experience

I am writing this article with one hand, while with the other I am strongly massaging the roots of my hair. It is the newest hair routine in the morning: washing my hair on the go, without water, perfect when I am - as usual - out of time and need to look decently good. Actually, my need for winning time while juggling with my very busy schedule pushed me in the first place to finally try a dry shampoo, a product around for a couple of years already.

Out of the many products on the market, I wanted to start with the best and Aussie comes always first when I think about hair care. I purchased my product from the German Rossmann drugstore chain for a quite accessible price - under 5 Eur.. It looks very American in terms of branding, with big letters spread over the 180 ml. tube, and a lot of instructions in Italian, German and French. It has the usual smell of the Aussia products, given by the use of Australian Balm Mint, the main ingredient of their hair care lines. 

What I really liked about this shampoo, before the opportunity of a fast use and was on the go, was that it does not leave any white powder traces so you can use even during a break between sophisticated business meetings without any risk to damage your outfit. The head massage might be a good thing, after all, not only for cleaning your hair, but also for relaxing and putting your blood into motion. In addition, you got also a great volume, which you rarely achieve easily just after washing.

However, there were also some downsides for me. I experienced every time a head rash which is not very pleasant, most probably an allergic reaction. Also, although it might fix your hair hygiene for at least a couple of hours, you still need to use water. I tried to use again only the dry shampoo after a couple of days and I had to switch to water at the end of the day, because the rash plus the hair look were a bad match.

Given my experiences until now, I will probably keep a dry shampoo in my bag just in case for hair emergencies or for the busy travel schedule, but for the regular hair care, the usual shampoo and water are still the one and only solution.

3 Minutes for A Healthy Hair - An Aussie Miracle

Your hair says a lot about your health and your inner state of mind. It doesn't anything to do with magic, but with certain chemical interactions which can be read on the hair, especially when things are not getting well with your health. With a lot of work of any possible kinds on my shoulders, worries and a chemically died hair, I don't expect to have the same shining hair I used to a couple of years ago, but at least I am doing my best for taking care of it as often as possible. 

Therefore, the use of various masks, shampoos and conditioners for fighting the dry hair look. However, nothing compares with the instant and long-term effects produced by Aussie 3 Minute, a product I discovered a couple of years ago, but which I am using at least once the week in the last weeks. Since the famous Australian company finally entered the German market, I am more than happy to use their products on a regular basis. And what a wonder they do to my hair.

Aussie 3 Minute was the first product created by the company, founded at the end of the 1970s, when the hippy happy suntanned people with long hair needed more than a brush. Its main ingredient is the Australian Balm Mint - also called the 'elixir of life' - which gives a specific but bearable smell to the product. The colour - a milky pink - of the product, is also due to the balm mint.
After the hair is well cleaned and washed, you have to apply around 40 ml. - if you have long hair - of 3 Minute Miracle Reconstructor and count until 180. Wash the hair with warm water and after it is dried you will notice a dramatic effect. Or at least I did in my case: a happy shining less damaged looking hair. The effect lasts for at least 5 days and it is perfect for me, as I do not wash my hair more than once the week. 

Overall, I added to my toilet pantry another product that I will hardly be able to live without in the next years or so.
