You always want your hair to look good, but sometimes you just don’t have the time to put into a complete shampoo, conditioner and styling routine. That’s where dry shampoo comes in. Dry shampoo can also be used as a styling tool to refresh your look and give your hair extra volume. What’s so great about this kind of shampoo is it can be used anywhere because you don’t need any water. It’s great for people who travel, just slip it in your bag and you can have fresh hair on the road with no muss or fuss. Dry shampoo is also a good product for people who have mobility issues and find it hard to get in and out of the shower or bath. You can use this type of shampoo on all types of hair, but it isn’t recommended for braids or dreads since you can’t get all of the product out of your hair.
You can find dry shampoo in liquid, powder or spray form. Which type you use is up to your personal preference. They all do the same thing, grab the oil and dirt in your hair and remove it. Dry shampoo is very simple to use, just apply it to dry hair, rub it in and then brush it out or towel dry your hair. You’re left with clean, shiny and manageable hair. You can also apply a leave in conditioner and shine spray for an extra boost of shine and nutrition for you hair. Some stylists use it to create extra volume by power or spray dry shampoo to the roots and then backcombing. This creates the big sexy hair we see on runways and red carpets.
Some of our favorite brands include the following:
• ShamPowder comes in a powder form for light, brown and red, and black hair color. The applicator brush helps you put the product where you need most. For example if your roots are looking a bit oily, you can apply ShamPowder just on your roots to refresh your look. You can use it all over your head too for a complete cleansing.
• Batiste Dry Shampoo comes in regular and dark brown. Batiste also comes in a fragrant tropical scent. This is a spray on dry shampoo and you just spray it on, fluff up your hair and then brush it out.
• Klorane Gentle Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk contains protective oat extract and micronised powder to gently remove oil and dirt.
• Psssst Professional Dry Shampoo is very easy to use, just spray it in and then brush it out for clean and great smelling hair.
Dry shampoo also gives your hair a break from color loss and heat damage from harsh chemicals and high heat appliances. If you’re in a hurry, traveling or have problems getting in and out of the shower, consider giving dry shampoo a try.
