The Ultimate Dry Shampoo Guide
Dry shampoo application seems simple enough, right? That’s because it is. When used correctly, these life-changing dry shampoos refresh hair between washes to keep you at the top of your game no matter what the day holds. But are you using it right? Read through our quick list of tips and tricks to make sure you’re getting the most of this hair care essential.
Tip #1: Spray it right.
Make sure to hold the can 8-12 inches away from your scalp and target the nozzle at your roots. This is the best way to avoid white residue or a wet, oily feel after application. (Editor’s note: Having trouble measuring? You want to spray from about a hair product can’s length away from your scalp, or until your arms form a capital letter L.)
Tip #2: Go in for the massage.
Don’t skip the massage! Massaging your scalp once you’ve applied the product helps move dry shampoo to different parts of your hair to absorb all your excess sebum. Love Beauty and Planet Radical Refresher Citrus Peel Uplifting Dry Shampoo smells incredible and makes the massaging portion of the dry shampoo process even more enjoyable.
Tip #3: Brush it through.
If you’re still not feeling fully refreshed, you just have to run your hairbrush through your hair. Brushing will help actually remove oil, dirt and any excess product from your strands. If you’re looking to restore your voluminous roots to their former glory, we’d suggest Dove Refresh+Care Volume and Fullness Dry Shampoo after completing tips one and two.
