Anya’s note: I’m introducing a new feature for my beauty-oriented Friday segment. “Best Bet” focuses on a singular, magical, can’t-live-without product and it’s slated to run monthly. My occasional contributor Shakeira McLean introduces the feature today.
The only downside to Vancouver’s newly found heat is that it requires me to wash my hair more frequently then I prefer. Thankfully I’ve discovered Klorane Gentle Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk. It saves me the pain of a hot blow dry and style every morning and is great for touching up before heading out for the evening.

WHAT IT IS:

Dry shampoo

KEY INGREDIENTS:
Oat milk for soothing and cylcodextrins for absorbing oil 

WHY I LIKE IT:
With my dark hair I was concerned about the gray and powdery look that some brands leave, but this is residue-free and doesn’t stain fabrics (pillows, clothing, etc.) like some dark hair specific options. And bonus: it adds volume, which is something I desperately need after wearing a hat at the beach all day.
