Always running short on time but still want your hair to look fresh and stylish?
We’ve all been there—trying to keep it low maintenance while still feeling put together.
Are you using dry shampoo? And more importantly, are you using it the right way?
Dry shampoo is a fantastic way to refresh your hair without needing to wash it!
Here’s a simple guide on how to use it and how it works:
Dry shampoo is made with ingredients like starch or silica that absorb oil from your scalp and hair. When you spray it on your roots, it soaks up the oil, making your hair look fresher and more voluminous without water.
How to Use It
Shake It Up: Before using, give the bottle a good shake to mix everything inside.
Spray on the Roots: Hold the bottle about 6-8 inches away from your scalp. Part your hair and spray the dry shampoo onto the roots where your hair gets oily the most.
Massage It In: Use your fingertips to gently massage the product into your scalp. This helps the dry shampoo soak up the oil and adds volume to your hair.
Brush It Through: After massaging, brush or comb your hair to make sure the dry shampoo is evenly spread and to get rid of any excess product.
Style as Usual: Once you’ve applied the dry shampoo, you can style your hair however you like! Your hair will look cleaner and have more volume.
Pro Tips
If your hair is super oily, let the dry shampoo sit for a minute or two before brushing it out for the best results.
For extra volume, flip your hair upside down and spray the roots, then gently fluff with your fingers or a brush.
If you're using a powder dry shampoo, sprinkle a little onto your roots and massage it in -don’t use too much, or it might leave a white residue.
Dry shampoo is a quick and easy way to keep your hair looking fresh when you're short on time!
