Dry shampoo is a great beauty product that can be your savior on those days when you don’t have the time (or inclination) to wash your hair. It can make your locks look fresh and voluminous again, even without water! But how do you actually use dry shampoo the right way? Here’s a step-by-step guide to getting the most out of your dry shampoo:
Step-by-step plan for using dry shampoo
Step 1: Choose the right dry shampoo There are many different types of dry shampoos on the market, so it’s important to choose one that suits your hair type and needs. If you have fine hair, choose a light formula that doesn’t leave a residue. For dark hair, there are special dry shampoos available that don’t leave a white cast. Experiment a bit and find the dry shampoo that works best for you. Check out the brands Batiste or Colab.
Step 2: Shake the can well Before applying the dry shampoo, always shake the can well. This mixes the ingredients well and makes the dry shampoo more effective.
Step 3: Apply to dry hair Dry shampoo works best on dry hair. Divide your hair into sections and apply the dry shampoo to the roots. This is the area where hair gets the most greasy. Spray the dry shampoo from about 20 centimeters away and make sure you distribute it evenly over the roots.
Step 4: Massage and let sit After applying dry shampoo, it is important to massage the product into your hair. This helps absorb the dry shampoo and remove excess oil. Gently massage your scalp with your fingertips and let the dry shampoo sit for a few minutes.
Step 5: Brush or comb your hair After massaging in the dry shampoo, you can brush or comb your hair to remove any residue and restyle your locks. This ensures an even distribution of the dry shampoo and gives your hair extra volume.
Step 6: Style Your Hair If Needed If you still want to style your hair after using dry shampoo, you can do so now. You can blow-dry, curl, or straighten your hair as you normally would. Dry shampoo also helps make your hair more manageable, so it can make your styling routine easier.
Step 7: Enjoy fresh hair! And voilà! Your hair looks fresh and voluminous again without having to wash it. Dry shampoo is a great time-saving solution for those busy days and a must-have product for on the go.

What is dry shampoo and how does it work?
