The Ultimate Guide To Using Dry Shampoo
When it comes to innovation in hair care, dry shampoo is nothing short of a groundbreaking creation. This miraculous product has an unmatched ability to refresh the hair and reduce its oiliness without actually washing the hair conventionally. If used correctly, dry shampoos can give you refreshed, voluminous and fabulous hair. But like any other hair care product, there is a right and a wrong way to use a dry shampoo. In this article, let us understand how to use dry shampoo to reap its maximum benefits. But first, let’s start with the basics.
How Does Dry Shampoo Work?
To explain in simpler words, dry shampoos work by absorbing the dirt and oil that tend to build up on the scalp after a day or two of not washing your hair. Redken’s Deep Clean Dry Shampoo is a high-performance dry shampoo that effectively absorbs the excess oil and dirt from the hair, leaving it feeling light, airy and clean.
WHY IS DRY SHAMPOO A MUST-HAVE FOR EVERY STYLING ROUTINE
Overwashing your hair can often lead to various scalp concerns and affect your overall hair health. Our hair needs natural oils to keep the lengths and ends moisturised. Overwashing the hair can strip these natural oils and make the hair dry or send the oil glands into overdrive to compensate for the dryness and lead to excessively greasy hair. This can be avoided by cutting down the frequency of hair washes with the help of a dry shampoo. Dry shampoos clean the hair and reduce its oiliness without stripping the natural oils. People with coloured hair can experience more benefits from dry shampoo as dry shampoo cuts down the need to frequently wash the hair, hence extending the life of their hair colour.
DRY SHAMPOO TIPS
HOLD THE DRY SHAMPOO CORRECTLY
Holding the dry shampoo 10 inches away from your hair can help minimise product residue and ensure even application. Spraying dry shampoo too close to your hair can cause the product to go on in a really concentrated way. Try spraying and applying dry shampoo from 'one bottle away', meaning if you place the bottle at your head, it will show the distance from which you should be spraying.
Spray Dry Shampoo Underneath Your Hair
If you’re using dry shampoo for the first time or feeling intimidated by it, try starting with a low-risk application. Instead of spraying it on your part, lift your hair and apply it to the temple area. This way, you can feel comfortable and confident knowing that the product is underneath your hair helping to absorb oil.
BRUSH AND BLOW DRY THROUGH THE HAIR
Dry shampoo gets the job done when it comes to absorbing the dirt and grease from your scalp but distributing dry shampoo evenly throughout the hair helps to increase its' effectiveness. The best way to do it? With a brush or blow dryer. After you spray the product on dry hair, allow it to dry completely, then use a blow dryer or brush to comb through it. This will help to distribute the product evenly throughout your strands and leave your hair looking shiny and new.
USE THE DRY SHAMPOO BEFORE THE HAIR GETS GREASY
While dry shampoo has proven to be the best quick fix for grease that’s already set in, it can also be used as a preventative measure. You can use it before you go to bed or before you workout. If you feel like you sweat a lot in your sleep, you can try using it before going to bed so you can wake up to clean, refreshed hair. Using it at the perfect timing as a precautionary measure will allow you to have light and breezy hair anytime you want with the least effort.
