Ready to Try a Dry Shampoo? Here's What You Need to Know.
Dry shampoos are an easy way to freshen your hair without having to wet & wash. When you are busy or on the run, the powder (usually starch or talc-based) absorbs excess grease and dirt by being sprayed or sprinkled onto the scalp.
The process is simple:
- Apply the dry shampoo to your scalp
- Work into roots of hair by massaging with your fingers
- Let sit for about a minute
- Brush and style as usual
While there are benefits, there are also some problems associated with the regular use of dry shampoo.
The Pros:
- Dry shampoos are easy and convenient to use for those who do not want to wash their hair often or have hair that easily becomes greasy throughout the day. Many people also use dry shampoos for a quick fix after going to the gym.
- By eliminating the need for daily styling, you can avoid excessive heat that causes damaged hair and split ends.
- By blow-drying, curling, and straightening less often, your hair gets a break from the heat.
- Dry shampoo can be used in certain problem areas of the hair, such as bangs that collect forehead oils.
- It can also be used in areas that need more volume than the rest of the hair.
- It is affordable. If you are willing to pay a little more, some dry shampoos even use an assortment of natural ingredients.
The Cons:
- Dry shampoo can aggravate existing scalp problems, such as dandruff
- Some cheap dry shampoo brands contain slightly toxic ingredients, while also leaving visible flakes and white powder in your hair.
- Dry shampoos can dry your hair and scalp out to the point where it no longer looks healthy and shiny.
- By stripping away natural oils and clogging the scalps pores, regrowth can become slower and/or difficult.
If you do decide to occasionally use dry shampoo, be willing to spend a little extra on the organic products that do not use aluminum, and be sure to use it sparingly.
