3 tips when shopping for a dry shampoo
Dry shampoo can provide the refreshing scent of newly washed hair without the need for water. But if you’re sensitive or allergic to fragrances, it’s a good idea to choose a fragrance-free option.
If you're keen on a scented dry shampoo, but don't want to take a trip to the store to test it out, consider citrus fragrances as they're typically more discreet.
Dry shampoos usually come in spray form, but did you know there are other types available too?
Dry shampoo in spray form is easy to apply and spread evenly through your hair. There's an abundance of options to suit your hair colour and scent preference.
If you go for a powder dry shampoo, you'll want to sprinkle it onto your roots, let it sit for a bit, and then brush it out. This works for most hair colours. The powder might be trickier to spread around evenly. And if you use too much, you might end up with a dusty look.
There's the mousse version of dry shampoo, which resembles traditional styling mousse. One key difference is that the foam can make your hair appear slightly damp initially, whereas spray and powder dry shampoos don't. Mousse takes a bit longer to apply than spray.
Some dry shampoos are designed specifically for blonde or dark hair. But there are plenty of options that work well for all hair colours and become transparent when dry.
It’s easy to buy the wrong thing, so read the label carefully before your purchase. And remember, always brush the dry shampoo into your hair to avoid any unsightly dust on your roots - this is especially important if you have dark hair.
