Girls with oily scalp: This will be your new best-friend!
Not that we’re big on saving water or anything – we’re just lazy people. Girls who have oily scalps and just do not want to go through the trouble of soaping up 3 times a week,
Okay it’s not exactly new (it’s been around since the 1960s) but it is just gaining popularity among women who like hassle-free hair hacks.
Why Do We Absolutely Love Dry Shampoo?
The real question is – Why wouldn’t you love a miracle product that makes your hair look squeaky clean when a single drop of shampoo hasn’t touched it in days?
Before we get into the details of why we love it, let’s talk about what it exactly is –
In ridiculously simplified terms, dry shampoo is a powder that is used to clean your hair without having to wash it. Elaborately put, it is a mixture of ingredients such as aluminium starch (or cornstarch), alcohol, silica and kaolin clay that absorbs dirt and oil from your hair, much like a sponge, giving it a clean, oil-free look.
So, what is it that makes this product the most adored invention ever?
#1 Pretty obvious, makes the hair look matte even when it’s nowhere near clean.
#2 Takes no more than two minutes to apply, if you use it right (explained below)
#3 Adds volume to limp hair.
#4 Lifesaver during hair emergencies (like a spur of the moment party)
#5 You can even use it on clean hair for a better texture and added body
Sounds good right? However, much like most good people, Dry Shampoo has always been misunderstood (cue angry ladies shouting about weighed down hair and white residue).
If you’ve got dry shampoo grudges too, you’re probably not doing it right. Yes, there’s a right way and a wrong way. Here goes:
