Is Dry Shampoo Bad for Your Hair?

The experts suggest using dry shampoo occasionally and ensuring the scalp is being cleaned thoroughly after approximately two to four days to prevent too much buildup. Regular cleansing with shampoo is key because inflammation and hair loss can occur when dry shampoo buildup remains on the scalp. "Remember, skin is a living organ and needs care to stay healthy," Blaisure says. "No one would think to keep their makeup on for a week — scalp skin is the same."

To combat any drying effects of dry shampoo, Diersen suggests pairing dry shampoo with a protecting oil, like Chi Rose Hip Oil Color Nurture Dry UV Protecting Oil, $9.97.
