Talc Powder...am i the last to know this....

[maxwellsmum]

If you have greasy hair and dont have time to wash it (ie gotta rush out with DS!!) if you put a little talc on it, it takes the greasiness out??? I cannot believe i didnt know about this and have just been enlighted by some girls at work!
Random i know, but i'd thought i'd share it!

yes i think you are the last to know this

god yes, where've ou been? , was doing this at school!!

You used to be able to buy spray cans of "dry shampoo" too-like spray on talc.From memory,only a VERY temporary measure.

yes just put a little on your palm and pat on your hair

does it work on black hair

not too much though - otherwise you look very grey and shed dust all day

Unbelievable! Where have i been for the last 27 years???? Perhaps we should have a thread for dumbass's like me!!!
THINGS WE LEARNT WHEN CHILDREN!

thought i was always the last to know things but you have won this time
not done it myself but lots did at high schoool

This is like 'de ja vu' - on a recent thread and hub2dee enlighted me how to cut a mango.... dmo - i'll never fail to be the last... i amaze myself sometimes, i must shut my eyes and ears to everything thats going on around me.... But now i'll walk round with nice looking hair and my kitchen will no longer be covered in Mango slime!
