Dry Shampoos

What is a dry shampoo?

Hair can become oily, sweaty, and smelly. You may be working out a lot, getting regular haircuts, or even just having a bad day. Whatever the reason, it's not always possible to wash your hair every day, which is why dry shampoo was invented. Dry shampoo is a powder that you spray on your hair to soak up oil and grease without washing your hair. The powder contains special chemicals that neutralise the oils and add texture and volume to the hair. Here's everything you need to know about the best dry shampoos on the market:

Why was dry shampoo invented?

Dry shampoo was first made for horses to help them look good at shows and events by soaking up their sweat and making them look clean. It was also used on humans before the invention of shampoo - people would rub talcum powder into their hair to soak up the oils. Dry shampoo is just as effective today as it has always been, and can be used on all different types of hair. It can even be used to fill in bald spots or add extra volume to fine hair. It can also be used as a styling product to give extra hold and control to curly or unruly hair.

What are the different types of dry shampoo?

Normal/Simple – this is a mild and gentle type of dry shampoo that you can use every day. It does not contain any harsh chemicals that can damage or irritate the scalp, so it is safe to use on children's hair as well. It is most commonly used for covering greys and adding texture to thin or thinning hair.

Clay-based – this type of dry shampoo is designed to give extra hold and control to curly hair. It works by absorbing excess oils and imparting a matte finish to the hair.

Will dry shampoo damage my hair?

Dry shampoo is made of natural ingredients, which means it is perfectly safe for use on both humans and pets. However, it should not be used as a replacement for shampoo - you should use shampoo once a week to thoroughly clean your hair and leave it looking and feeling healthy.

How often should one use a dry shampoo?

A typical dose of scalp oil is 14 teaspoons per day. This means that if your head is producing more than this, you should probably wash your hair with shampoo instead of using a dry shampoo. Remember that you only need to use a dry shampoo when your hair is too greasy or dirty for a daily shampoo. You don't need to use dry shampoo every time you wash your hair - it's only there to be used when you have no other options.

What is the difference between a dry and a wet shampoo?

• Wet shampoos contain ingredients which remove dirt, grease and oil from the hair and scalp. • Dry shampoos are designed to be used in between washes to freshen up the hair. They are not designed to clean the hair in the way that wet shampoos do. They can be used on all types of hair.

• Most wet and dry shampoos contain the same type of ingredients. They generally contain an absorbent, such as a kaolin clay. They also contain some type of fragrance to give the hair a fresh smell. • The main difference between wet and dry shampoos is the the way they are applied and used. • Wet shampoos are applied directly to the hair and combed through to remove dirt and oil.
