Your Life-Changing Guide to Using Dry ShampooNot sure how to use dry shampoo? Learn how to apply this magical product |
Dry shampoo is a magical invention -- it zaps greasy roots, adds volume and texture and eliminates the need to wash and style hair every single day (seriously, who has time for that?). It can make three-day-old hair look better than freshly washed, or hide the fact that you hit the gym during lunch hour and didn't have time to wash.
"Dry shampoos work their magic by absorbing excess oils produced by the scalp, leaving hair feeling clean and refreshed while infusing body, lift and texture," explains Jim Markham, founder of Colorproof Evolved Color.
If you're not using dry shampoo on the regular or don't get what the big fuss is about, there can only be one reason: You don't know how to use dry shampoo the right way. Because even though I can wax poetic about dry shampoo until people's eyes glaze over, I'll also be the first to admit: dry shampoo can go very, very awry if it's not applied properly.
The telltale signs of a bad dry shampoo application: powdery roots, crunchy hair and general, well, ickiness. But the best dry shampoo application will give you better hair than you ever thought possible.
Here, the be-all, end-all guide to the dos and don'ts of dry shampoo.
