Tomorrow's news: Psssssst

Thursday, November 5, 2009

Rinse, lather, repeat. Rinse, lather, repeat. Shampooing your hair can get so boring. But there’s an easier way.

Hannah DeClerk

Spray away your troubles: Psssssst Instant Spray Shampoo saves you from the rinse-lather-repeat routine by giving your hair an between-wash freshen-up.

Although it resembles a can of hair spray, Psssssst Instant Spray Shampoo makes shampooing so last week. Psssssst works by absorbing the oil in your hair, making it feel and look clean.

Not only is it great for a quick hair fix, but it’s also recommended for use during camping trips, when ill, and after playing sports. Because who wants to shower after playing a long, sweaty, contact sport? Way too much effort.

There is one problem, though. If used too often, the spray will cause a white buildup on the hair. Lauren Precopia, Dallas senior, says she has unfortunately experienced the problem. “It’s great if you want to use it in-between washes,” she says. “But if you use it too much, it turns your roots a powdery white.”

So, if you’re sick of your grease-ball hair, or just hate showering, this product could be perfect for you. A can costs about $6, and you can find it at most drugstores. And no worries, the product lives up to its name: When sprayed, it does sound like “Psssssst.” Crazy, isn’t it?
