hair shots | my secret weapon

If you've been following me for longer than a few weeks now, you've probably gathered that working out and staying active is a big part of my life. I try and work out 5-6 days a week and I love it. The only problem with this though, is showering. I know it's not good for your hair to wash it everyday, but I'm not one of those girls who "glistens" when they work out. It's a full-on, nasty, sweat.Processed with VSCOcam with s2 presetBecause of this hair-washing dilemma, I was SO happy when I discovered Hair Shots. It's an on-the-go hair fragrance that comes in tons of amazing scents. (My favorite is either coconut mango or strawberry!)Strawberry-300x390 Coconut-Mango-300x390These bottles are only $11.99 and so easy to just throw in your purse or gym bag. I rarely have time to come home after a work out, shower, fix my hair, and then head out for the day. So, I carry one of these little bottles around in my purse, spray it in my hair after I work out, and go straight to a lunch meeting or errand-running!I also use Hair Shots after I get out of the shower, either before or after I blow dry my hair. I am all about really expensive shampoos that are good for your hair, but those aren't always the best-smelling ones. Hair Shots makes your hair smell amazing, but without being too overpowering or conflicting with your perfume! It's also heat activated, so it will smell even better once you  hit the gym or start working up that sweat.Just wanted to share this new discovery with you in hopes that you love it as much as I do! :) You can check out their website here and follow them on instagram here
