With the summer weather (and summer hours!) officially a thing of the past, we understand how hard waking up in the mornings can be. Nexxus is here to remind you that running late doesn’t mean that there isn’t time to create wow-worthy hair!
Option 1: Refresh Yesterday’s Look
Technique: Get some mileage out of yesterday’s masterpiece with the Nexxus Youth Renewal™ Rejuvenating Dry Shampoo ($17.99). First spray onto the roots, then rub into scalp and gently brush out. This lightweight formula absorbs excess oil without leaving behind that pesky residue.
Option 2: Banish Bed Head
Technique: Tossing and turning against a pillow can make hair look frizzy and frazzled. Try applying a dime-sized amount of the Nexxus ProMend Split End Binding Smoothing Shine Serum ($11.99) to the ends of hair to add shine and smooth fly-aways.
What I think: The dry shampoo is so good. I cleaned the house all morning with my hair in a ponytail and I am about to go to the movies, so I used the shampoo to refresh my hair and it looks and smells great! And hair oil is always a great product to have to help frizzy hair look shiny again.

New York Streets Volume Foam ($21 USD) — 1 or 2 pumps is all you need. Apply to wet hair before blow drying for maximum volume and shine on even the finest hair. Work through curly hair for beautiful, bouncy curls without frizz.
