Drugstore Discovery Of The Week: Psssssst Instant Spray Shampoo

Most beauty products that
have been around for multiple decades have, at some point,
undergone an image overhaul. Consider
Herbal Essences shampoo. The version that first hit the market
in the 1960’s—a green bottle with the image of a long-haired woman
surrounded by flowers designed to appeal to those
nature-loving hippies—bears little resemblance to what’s on
store shelves today. Frankly, I prefer the original incarnation.
Which is why I was thrilled to discover, on the dusty bottom shelf
of my local drugstore, Psssssst Instant Spray Shampoo, in an
aerosol can that remains blissfully unchanged from its original
1970’s prototype. Even the text on the back seems amusingly stuck
in the past. “Between shampoos. On camping trips. After sports.
When ill. Any time you can’t use water.” The spray managed to
mattify my oily scalp between shampoos, and there’s something
nostalgic about its artificially sweet scent (think Electric
Youth). Though dry shampoos are widely available nowadays, I’m a
sucker for cool packaging, and, admittedly, a bargain price. $5.99,
at drugstores.
