Dry Shampoo Huh?

Dry shampoo is the greatest invention since sliced bread, or well – close to it. But this invention is not new, despite its recent surge in the market. Its popularity has grown recently in the answer to the question: How often should you wash your hair?

The consensus is to save your hair by not washing it every day. With a dry shampoo, you can afford to wash your hair only once or twice a week!

What the heck is Dry Shampoo?

Dry shampoo is a powder, usually in a spray can, that absorbs oil in your hair and leaves a fresh scent.

It gets rid of greasy “second day” hair, adds volume, and makes hair look and smell fresh and clean, and you don’t need water.

Benefits of Dry Shampoo:

• Absorbs excess oil and product build up, doesn’t weigh hair down or strip precious oils from the scalp.

• Increases volume at the roots and strengthens hair and nourishes the scalp.

• For blondes, dry shampoo is great for getting rid of greasy hair and some brands even lighten up the roots.

• Spares your damaged hair that shouldn’t be washed every day. Daily shampooing, blow drying, and styling can cause unnecessary stress on your hair and more damage. By shampooing less and using dry shampoo in between washes, your hair will be less prone to breakage.

• Perfect for traveling, or if you wake up late and need to get ready fast. A quick spray and your hair will be good to go, no shower necessary.

3. Volume: T3 Refresh Voluminizing Dry Shampoo

This is a unique dry shampoo that leaves hair feeling clean, healthy and refreshed while adding volume and texture. It absorbs oil and odor while refreshing and enhancing fuller and more voluminous hair and movement. Its lightweight, matte, and clump-free formula is available in three color tones (light, dark and red) designed to blend easily with your natural color (or roots) with no visible residue. Feel the cool tingle on your scalp and smell the light fragrance when applying the touchable, natural-looking finish without the tacky or powdery mess that other dry shampoos may leave behind. Plus, the unique aerosol design allows a precise and even application.

4. DIY: Baby Powder

In an emergency and when you don’t want to spend money on a dry shampoo, use what you may already have lying around your house: baby powder. Sprinkle some on your roots, turn your head upside down and shake it all out. Baby powder works exactly the same as a dry shampoo as it removes oil buildup. Though messier overall, it will leave your hair looking and smelling fresh in a pinch.

5. Natural: Klorane Gentle Dry Shampoo With Oat Milk – Aerosol Spray

Klorane Gentle Dry Shampoo is a natural alternative that contains fewer toxic ingredients than other products, and is paraben and sulphate free. The scent is wonderful and the oat helps to soften and protect the scalp. It’s gentle enough to be used daily and hair looks clean and never dull. It’s great for darker hair as it doesn’t leave any white residue. This one is highly recommended.
