How to Use Dry Shampoo for the Best Hair Day Ever

If you’re like most women, you probably wash your hair every day — and that’s fine! But if you’re looking to give your hair an extra-special treat, or you don’t have time to wash it, dry shampoo can help absorb excess oil and give you the same fresh-hair feeling in no time at all. Here are some tips on how to use dry shampoo and get the best results from it every time!

Dry Shampoo: What Is It and How Does It Work?
Dry shampoo is a powdered cosmetic that absorbs excess oils and sweat from your hair and scalp. It can be used as an alternative to traditional shampooing, or in between washes to extend the life of your blowout. Benefits of dry shampoo include refreshed hair, added volume, and oil control. A little goes a long way with this product. In fact, some brands recommend you only use it sparingly (such as about two tablespoons) for each application on wet hair. The applicator makes it easy to apply just the right amount with no mess! Most people will find that one application lasts about two days before needing another coat of dry shampoo. If you have oily scalp, scalp will benefit from its clarifying properties, which help remove buildup on your scalp caused by styling products like hairspray and gels.
Here are a few tips and tricks..

Pick the Right Type of Dry Shampoo
When it comes to dry shampoo, there are two main types: aerosolable and non-consolable. If you have oily hair, you’ll want to opt for a dry shampoo that’s specifically designed for oily hair. On the other hand, if you have dry hair, you’ll want to use a dry shampoo that’s designed for dry hair. You can also find dry shampoos that are designed for all hair types.

The general rule of thumb is to choose a dry shampoo that corresponds with your hair type. For example, if you have fine, oily hair, you should use an aerosol dry shampoo. If you have thick or curly hair with low porosity (ability of water to penetrate) you should use a cream or powder-based spray. Finally, if you have any skin sensitivities or scalp issues such as dandruff, then you should use a hypoallergenic dry shampoo without any fragrance.
To apply your chosen product, simply shake well before spraying on roots and crown area. Brush through with a natural boar bristle brush.

Spray dry shampoo at an angle
The first step is to hold the can about six inches away from your head and spray it at an angle. This will help distribute the product evenly. Next, focus on the roots of your hair. Apply more dry shampoo to areas that are oilier. Once you’ve applied enough dry shampoo, massage it into your scalp with your fingers. Then, brush your hair with a comb or brush to distribute the product evenly. Finally, style your hair as usual

Don’t rub
When you first spray dry shampoo into your hair, don’t rub it in. Let it sit for a few seconds so that it can absorb the oil. Then, using your fingers, gently massage it into your scalp. Be sure to focus on the roots where most of the oil is concentrated. It should start absorbing quickly and make your hair look less greasy. You may want to brush through some strands with a comb or a brush as well to help distribute the product evenly throughout your hair and tame any flyaways.

Massage it in with your fingertips
Start by giving your scalp a good massage with your fingertips. This will help loosen any dirt or oils that may be clogging up your pores. Next, take a small amount of dry shampoo and apply it to your roots. Rub it in well, making sure to get all of your hair covered. You may need to use more or less depending on how oily your hair is. Once you’ve applied the dry shampoo, brush it out with a natural bristle brush. This will help distribute the product evenly and help absorb any excess oil. Finally, style your hair as usual and enjoy your fresh, clean locks!

Comb through gently
Start by combing through your hair with a wide-tooth comb to detangle and help distribute the dry shampoo evenly. Be sure to focus on the roots where you need the most oil absorption. For extra volume, flip your head over and give your roots a good shake before combing through again. Lastly, be sure to tap off any excess powder. You don’t want it getting all over your clothes! To maximize shine, spray the top of your hair lightly with a little water from your hands or use a tiny amount of clear mousse at the roots. Finish with some quick blowdrying using either a round brush or flat iron to create smoothness and sheen in less than five minutes. If you have time, an overnight air-dry will let the product absorb better so if you’re willing to take that chance, go ahead. That’s it! You’re ready for a day full of beautiful hair.
