If we had to pick a holy grail product that you need in your beauty regimen, the top choice would be dry shampoo. We’ve all had those days where unless we’ve endured a hot yoga session, we’re just simply too lazy to wash our hair or our lifeless locks just need some revamping.
Dry shampoo has grown in popularity over the years, and there’s no question as to why. Whether you’ve got greasy roots or wispy bangs, dry shampoo seems to fix any common hair problem. Below we’ve listed the many benefits of dry shampoo as well as application tips for first-timers.
Benefits:
- Adding dry shampoo after a blowout will not only make it last longer but help prevent oil.
- Quickly style bangs without having to wash your hair.
- Add natural texture when you’re styling hair.
- Go an extra day without washing your hair.
- Gives bobby pins extra grip to help your hairstyles hold.
- Quickly add volume to limp hair.
- Using dry shampoo instead of washing your hair will help prolong the life of your colored hair.
Application Tips:
An accessible and convenient form of dry shampoo is spray-on. Quickly spray on the root and give your hair a little shake and you’re out the door. Most dry shampoos spray clear or a tint of white, however, it will usually disappear. If you have darker hair and are worried about any residue, there are brands of dry shampoos for specific hair colors, ranging from red to brunette.
If you have applied too much dry shampoo, don’t panic. Simply brush your hair to distribute the product evenly and eventually it will break up the formula and absorb into your hair.
You should always view dry shampoo as more of a “quick fix,” rather than as a form of cleansing. If you are dependent on dry shampoo, over time you will experience product buildup which can only be removed by clarifying.
