We all know the feeling: waking up with greasy hair, but no time to wash it. Luckily, there's a solution: dry shampoo. Dry shampoo is a must-have in your haircare routine. In this blog post, you'll learn all about what dry shampoo is, how to use it, and the best dry shampoo for your hair needs!

What is dry shampoo?

Dry shampoo is a quick alternative to regular shampoo. It's a transparent or colored powder, usually in a spray form, that you apply to your hair roots to absorb excess sebum. You usually use dry shampoo when your hair starts to get greasy and you don't have time to wash it. Dry shampoo removes the greasy look and makes your hair look fresh and voluminous again. There are different types of dry shampoos on the market, each with a slightly different purpose. These can be refreshing, styling, or adding shine.

Using dry shampoo

Using dry shampoo seems easier than it is. Crucial steps are often overlooked, preventing you from achieving the desired effect. Here's the order in which dry shampoo should be applied for optimal results:

Step 1: Shake

It's important to shake your dry shampoo well beforehand. This ensures the product is thoroughly mixed and the active ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the hair roots.

Step 2: Spray on hair roots

The greasy and dirty look originates from the roots, where sebum production takes place. It's therefore logical that dry shampoo should only be applied to the scalp. It's also important to spray the dry shampoo from a distance of about 20 cm so it spreads evenly over the scalp and doesn't leave a white residue.

Step 3: Let the dry shampoo work for a while

Briefly let the dry shampoo work on your scalp. Experiment to see what works best for you. One to two minutes is usually enough.

Step 4: Massage

Then, massage the dry shampoo into your scalp with your fingertips, just as you would with regular shampoo. Massaging helps absorb excess sebum. Note: Don't rush to massage your hair after spraying; let it work its magic for a few minutes.

Step 5: Brush the hair through

Then brush your hair thoroughly. This way, the dry shampoo is fully absorbed and all the powder is gone. Tip: brush your hair before applying dry shampoo to remove tangles and prevent tangles from occurring during application. Check out the last paragraph and find the best dry shampoo for your hair!

Dry shampoo volume

Besides relieving greasy and dirty hair, dry shampoo also has another effect: adding volume. Dry shampoo gives hair extra grip and more hold, keeping the volume in place. If you're going for extra volume, it's important not to brush your hair too much after applying it, so the volume stays in place. Dry shampoo volume is often compared to or used as a replacement for hair or styling spray! The combination of volume and texture keeps your hair in place all day long. If your hair goal is more volume, choose a dry shampoo that promises plenty of volume. Tip: For extra volume, divide your hair into sections and spray dry shampoo under each strand to enhance the result.
