dry shampoo
So, I found and bought some at Meijer yesterday and tried it. The brand I bought had a rebate sticker which will make the product free (+1). The product went on easy-ish (it's not the manufacturers fault that I have a lot of hair), and my hair/scalp felt cleaner after (+2).
I was showing Jim the bottle last night., and look at the ingredients. Butane, alcohol, propane... um.... (-300). I'm off to research the safety of this stuff. Maybe it's worse in my head than on my head?
I started this as a seperate post, knowing Chymes tried dry shampoo, and sometimes doesn't read the randoms post.

Re: dry shampoo
Propane?!
No wonder it was so cheap. Thanks for the heads up.
I tried this stuff before, and it has a far more appealing ingredient list, but it was pretty pricey.
Over the past year, I've been trying to get into this habit and make smart purchases, but it can be hard to remember to check everything. Obviously, on the dry shampoo, I failed and now I feel super guilty. And the good stuff can be so darn pricey!
I use the TRESemme' brand of dry shampoo. No propane listed on the ingredients, but there are a lot of methyl..., hexyl..., Benzyl type words listed. Not sure what all that stuff is. It does say that it's flamable, but aren't most aerosol products? I've been pretty happy with this product. It's $4.99 a can, and will go on sale at Meijer on occasion.
Straight up propane huh? Yikes, that's kinda scary!!!
I hear you. Things can slip through the cracks or at times I opt for a less expensive version of something but in turn have to give up on ideal ingredients.
Kind of a funny related story. Kashi was running an ad that had an ingredient decoder. It listed all these things they claimed they would never use and urged the consumer to not buy products with the listed ingredients. I thought it was really handy and put it in my purse.
Meijer had a sale on the Kashi cereal bars. I was reading the label and noticed one of the forbidden ingredients. It really annoyed me that a company would on one hand boast about clean and natural, but use ingredients they even admit are not good.
So I called Kashi and asked them why they would use this ingredient at the same time as they were running an ad that said it was bad and to be avoided. I was put on hold and given a really nervous response that they were looking into it. They wanted to follow-up with me about the issue. Fine - I gave them my email address.
The next day I received a phone call (They must have had caller id) from the Director of Public Relations. She gave me a long explanation. It was funny - I wonder what they thought i was going to do with discovery that they are hypocrites. She emailed me coupons that afternoon for free product. If I was going to spread this discovery around, did she think that a couple free boxes of cereal would pay me off?
Anyway - that got long. Sheesh.
Isn't butane what's in cigarette lighters?

Yup. Gross, eh?
I've heard of that before as an alternative to dry shampoo. How do you apply it though?
