What are the benefits of using dry shampoo?
“Washing your hair every single day with a regular shampoo and conditioner can actually weaken, dry, and strip your hair from essential oils,” says Hawkins. “By taking even just one wash day off a week and using dry shampoo, you can actually improve hair strength and health.” In addition to prolonging days between a regular shampoo day, “Some [dry shampoos] are great for adding volume as well,” adds Quist.
How can you use dry shampoo to increase volume or texture?
“I’m obsessed with using dry shampoo for volume and texture,” says Hawkins. To get a huge boost of volume, Quist has some techniques for how to utilize dry shampoo. “When applying your dry shampoo, flip your head upside down and spray starting underneath working your way to the front. The key is to let it sit for 10-30 seconds without touching it. For maximum volume, I like to blow-dry it in.”
What’s your favorite technique for applying dry shampoo?
“I like to incorporate my dry shampoo into my nighttime hair care routine,” says Quist. “I will apply it to my roots right before I go to bed so it can work while I sleep. You wake up with fresh hair in the morning and are ready to go for your day.” For Hawkins, using a brush is a great hack to get even distribution. “My trick to evenly distribute dry shampoo is to spray it onto a paddle brush or boar bristle brush and then brush your hair directly after. This allows the starches to be evenly distributed into the hair and prevents you from spraying too close.”
