So, I am not big on washing my hair. Plus, any beauty girl knows you never wash your day everyday. Personally, I usually wash it twice a week, or otherwise I end up with fried, flat strands). And when my hair is clean, I end up loading it up with product.

One product I couldn't live with out in particular? Dry freaking shampoo. And not because my hair is greasy, but because my hair is majorly flat -- even when it's clean. Needless to say, I've tried basically every single bottle of the stuff.

So I was super excited when Batiste -- my drugstore fave -- released their new Cherry Scented Dry Shampoo. You may not think you want to smell like cherries (it's usually not my style, either), but this stuff is awesome. For just eight bucks, you get major volume and oil-soaking powers with just the slightest hint of a tart fruity scent, not Yankee Candle-style scent overload. Also, I swear it cuts static if you have fine hair like me.

But don't worry, you won't walk around smelling like a tube of Chapstick all day, but you will smell the sweetness when you initially spray. (And if you, like, stick your nose in your hair or something.) And since the scent is oh-so-subtle, it won't conflict or compete with your perfume or any other scented product you've used. (Nothing is grosser than smells that don't mesh well, guys. Trust me.)

Plus, if you pick up the cherry-scented stuff, you can pretty much guarantee your super-stylish boyfriend won't steal it.
