How to: Use Dry Shampoo Effectively
Four out of five women do not shower every day; which means the majority of us are indeed skipping shampoos. Whether this is because of lack of motivation or just business… women need an alternative solution to keep up with their busy schedules. Further, our stylists recommend NOT shampooing everyday for the integrity of your hair and scalp, so dry shampoo is a great alternative to help keep hair healthy and fresh.
As such, the use of dry shampoo has been on the rise over the past year but many don’t know how to effectively use it! The following three steps are a great start to knowing how to use dry shampoo effectively.
1. Spray your dry shampoo at least six inches away from the roots to avoid build up and promote the even distribution of the product.
2. Use your fingers to blend the dry shampoo into the roots. Follow through by brushing your hair.
3. Add some extra volume by flipping your hair and massaging your roots!
Although the steps are simple enough, there are still a few important tips to remember:
· Don’t spray on wet or damp hair.
· Wait approximately two minutes after applying dry shampoo before styling
· Avoid using dry shampoo more than three times in a row—if you reach the third time, it may be time to shampoo.
· Utilize a boar bristle brush! Boar bristle brushes help work the dry shampoo in better.
· Lift multiple sections of your hair, using hair clips, when applying dry shampoo; don’t stick to just your normal part.
