Dry shampoo is one of those products that seems like a total game-changer but can also feel a little bit confusing and intimidating to use. So, when and how should you use dry shampoo?
Dry shampoo is most commonly used to extend the life of a blowout, but it can also refresh second-day hair, give volume to limp hair, and absorb oil and sweat on hot days. Basically, if your hair could use a little pick-me-up, dry shampoo is a great option.
Here are some great tips from your Lake Country hair stylists to help you figure out when to use dry shampoo. We’ll also answer some common questions to help you get the most out of this hair care staple.
How to Use Dry Shampoo
Dry shampoo is a fantastic way to refresh your hair between washes. However, if you’ve never used it before, the process can seem a bit daunting. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use dry shampoo so you can get the most out of this handy hair product:
Start with dry hair: Dry shampoo works best on second- or third-day hair that’s starting to look oily or greasy.
Shake the bottle well before use: This ensures the product is evenly distributed.
Section your hair: Hold the bottle about six inches away from your head and spray the roots in short bursts until they’re coated with a light layer of dry shampoo.
Massage the product into your roots: Use your fingers to work it in for about 30 seconds to absorb any excess oil.
Brush it out thoroughly: Use a paddle brush or wide-tooth comb to evenly distribute the product and style as desired.
Do You Use Dry Shampoo Before or After Showering?
There’s no right or wrong answer—it’s a matter of personal preference. Most people prefer using dry shampoo before showering to absorb excess oil and buildup from the scalp between washes. As mentioned earlier, it should be used on dry hair.
Others like to use dry shampoo after washing and drying their hair as a preventative measure. This technique creates a barrier to grease before it begins, which can work particularly well for finer hair that tends to get oilier quickly. Additionally, dry shampoo can add volume and texture. No matter when you choose to use it, make sure to shake the bottle well and target the roots for the best results.
Do You Use Dry Shampoo on Clean or Dirty Hair?
Dry shampoo is a versatile product that can be used on both clean and dirty hair. However, it works best on slightly dirty hair. If your hair is extremely greasy, you may want to wash it first, then dry your hair, and apply dry shampoo as a preventative measure. Using it as a proactive approach rather than a solution for heavy oiliness often yields better results.
Do You Use Dry Shampoo in the Morning or at Night?
Dry shampoo can be applied in the morning or at night, depending on your needs. If your hair feels greasy, applying it in the morning can refresh your look for the day. Alternatively, using dry shampoo at night can help absorb oil and sweat while you sleep, leaving your hair fresher in the morning.
Our Lake Country hair stylists recommend Redken Deep Clean Dry Shampoo. It provides maximum oil absorption for all hair types, leaving your hair clean and fresh. It’s simple to use: Hold the product 6-8 inches away from your hair, spray onto the oiliest parts of your roots and hair, and brush through to remove any residue. This leaves your hair looking and feeling revitalized.
