Dry shampoo absorbs excess oil, dirt, and odor from the scalp and hair, making it look and feel clean. This product is perfect for those looking to extend the life of their hairstyles, add volume, and reduce greasiness between traditional washes.
How it works
Your scalp is covered with hair follicles. These follicles don’t just sprout hairs. They also produce sebum, the natural oil that softens your scalp and gives hair its texture.
Sebum serves an important purpose. It softens your hair and helps protect the skin underneath it. But when you’re working up a sweat, spending time outside, or even going about your day-to-day, oil and sweat from your scalp collect in your hair.
While a certain amount of oils on your head is normal, oil buildup gives your hair a greasy appearance.
Washing, blow-drying, and styling your hair on a daily basis can be time-consuming. Plus, it might not even be good for the health of your hair. That’s where dry shampoo comes in.
Greasy hair
Dry shampoo is most effective for hair that naturally holds a lot of oil. If you find that even a quick workout session or a humid commute leaves your hair looking oily, dry shampoo might come in handy for a quick fix.
Hair that gets greasy quickly still needs to be washed often to cleanse your scalp and prevent blocked pores.
Natural hair
If your hair is naturally on the drier, more textured side, you might need to buy a dry shampoo that’s made specifically for your hair type.
Curly hair
Dry shampoo can also work to freshen curly hair.
How you use dry shampoo?
Hold the can of dry shampoo about 6 inches away from the crown of your head.
Spray a small amount directly into your roots. Don’t neglect the hair growth at the nape of your neck, right above your ears, and in the back of your head.
Massage the dry shampoo into your hair using your fingers.
If you’d like, use a blast of cool air from a blow dryer to give your hair some added volume and natural bounce as the shampoo dries on your scalp.
