Dry Shampoo
Dry shampoo can be a miracle worker when it comes to the in between days when your hair needs a break from the damage of washing, styling and drying. There are many new dry shampoos on the market that allow for hair to look clean and fresh, with no signs of oil or grease. Dry shampoos are also a great product when you feel like sleeping in a bit because you don’t have to go through the hassle of washing and drying. Dry shampoo can also give you a fresh scent while giving your roots a lift. Most dry shampoos are applied through a simple spray or dusting and then combed throughout. Washing daily should be skipped because it can cause too much damage to the hair and scalp. Instead opt to wash every second or third day, using a dry shampoo in between. One of the main things you need to consider when purchasing a dry shampoo is the scent. Some of these products can smell overpowering like hair spray or even bug spray. Look for a light scent and a weight-less formula when shopping for dry shampoo.
