If your hair is on the greasy side, or for those days that you just don't feel like washing, conditioning and then styling your hair, you may consider using a dry shampoo, a beneficial product to almost any beauty routine.

Identification

Dry shampoo is a hair care product that comes in a spray or powder form and is applied to the hair's roots and the scalp. It does not need to be rinsed out.

Effects

It may contain several absorbing ingredients (such cornstarch) as well as perfume agents. These work to absorb oil along the scalp and hairline, to give your hair that "just washed" appearance, scent and feeling.

Suggestions

Dry shampoo can be used throughout the week in place of regular shampoo but not always. Aim to wash your hair with regular shampoo at least once a week.

Potential

This product is the perfect addition to a post-gym beauty routine. Even though your hair may be clean, sweating along the hairline and scalp may have left you with damp, oily roots. Applying dry shampoo will absorb the excess moisture and restore body at the hair's roots.

Usage

Dry shampoo is a beneficial product for women who prefer to wear their hair straight. Instead of rewashing and heat styling your hair straight after two days, prolong your hairstyle by applying dry shampoo to your roots. Do this for several days until you are ready to wash your hair.
