What is dry shampoo, and how does it work?

Dry shampoo is basically a powder or spray used to freshen up your hair without using water. It works by absorbing excess grease and oils from the scalp, giving your hair a fresher, cleaner look. But did you know that dry shampoo can also help add extra volume and texture to your hair? Perfect for those days when your hair just wants to lie flat.

Using dry shampoo can not only save your hairstyle when you're short on time, but also protect your hair from excessive washing, which can dry out your hair and scalp.

Pro tip

Here are a few tips for getting the most out of your dry shampoo:

1. Apply to the roots: Target the scalp directly, where the oil tends to build up the most.
2. Massage the product in: Just like when you use regular shampoo, be sure to massage the dry shampoo into your scalp so that it’s thoroughly absorbed.
3. Wait a few minutes: Let the product sit for a few minutes to absorb the excess oil before brushing your hair.
4. Comb through your hair: Use a brush to distribute the dry shampoo and remove any excess.
5. Avoid overuse: Use dry shampoo 1–2 times a week to prevent product buildup.

How do you use dry shampoo for best results?

Dry shampoo may seem simple, but there are a few tricks to using it effectively. Follow these steps to refresh your hair and add volume at the same time:

2. Keep your distance – Spray the dry shampoo from a distance of about 20–30 cm to avoid applying too much product in one spot.
