Dry shampoo is usually my go-to when I’m running late for work, desire to prolong an expensive salon blow-dry, or am just being super lazy. But what if, horrors of horrors, one day you press and hold the nozzle but nothing at all comes out?

Well, if you have baby or talcum powder around, then fret not. Lightly sprinkle the roots of your hair with powder then flip your head over and run your fingers or a comb through your hair strands to take off excess powder. If you want to take it up a notch, add a tiny bit of baking soda; baking soda is a powerful odour remover.

Mix baby powder with a little it of baking soda in a small dish and apply to the roots of your hair. Again, shake off the excess unless you want to walk out your front door with powdery hair.

And if you’re wondering what on earth Eva Mendes’ photo is doing in this post, well this is actually a beauty trick of hers as well! Ack, she’s so gorgeous. Brigitte Bardot v2.0 .
