One of the many amazing, special surprises to happen to my body after giving birth was suddenly having insanely greasy hair. Am I the only one? I used to wash my hair once, maybe twice a week (I’m not a huge fan of showers in general, one of my many flaws). Suddenly, my usually coarse, dry scalp was slick as an oil rig about 4 hours after my most recent washing. I know what you’re thinking – “she’s going to tell me to use to Dry Shampoo, she is so basic.”

And you are RIGHT. You SHOULD be using Dry Shampoo – but in addition, you should be using a Clarifying Shampoo. Oribe The Cleanse Clarifying Shampoo straight up changed my life in those first few weeks. You only need to use it once a week and can pair with your usual conditioner if you’re not down to drop a fat wad on the matching Conditioner. This product is thick, lathery and made with ACTUAL volcanic ash. It don’t come cheap, but listen, you’re going to have concave circles under your eyes and milk literally shooting out of your body. The least you can do is keep your head from becoming flammable.
