What do you use dry shampoo for?

What does a dry shampoo do to your hair?
Dry shampoo ensures that natural hair oil is absorbed. This makes your hair 'fresh and fruity' to the eye again. In addition, a dry shampoo can give the hair more volume, because the substance provides more grip and texture.
Is dry shampoo bad for your scalp?
Dry shampoo is initially not bad for your hair. However, you often hear that some problems arise with long-term use. Dry shampoo naturally removes natural oils from your hair and scalp. Repeating this too often for a long period of time means your scalp will become too clean. Your sebaceous glands will ensure that extra sebum (fat) is produced, which ultimately results in overproduction of sebum (fat). And that's exactly what you don't want! In addition, we do not recommend using dry shampoo for several days in a row, as it can build up in the hair follicles, which can cause irritation.

How should you use dry shampoo?
This depends on what type of dry shampoo you use:
Dry shampoo spray - Spray the contents of the dry shampoo onto your hair from a distance of 15-20 cm from your hair. This depends on the dry shampoo you purchased, so we always recommend reading the instructions on the can. Do you have a dry shampoo that is not specifically for dark locks? Then we recommend using the dry shampoo from below, especially if you only use it for volume. This way there will be no white/gray haze on your hair, but you will still benefit from all the benefits of the Dry Shampoo in question.
Dry shampoo powder - If you use a powder form, you can distribute it directly on the hair roots or first in your hands. If you opt for the former, divide your locks into sections and shake a small amount from the jar onto the scalp. Then brush it or rub it out with your hands. If you use your hands, it is best to bend your head forward for a moment while applying to avoid wasting the powder. Apply a small amount to fingertips and rub onto hair roots.
Dry shampoo mousse - Divide the hair into sections and apply the mousse to the scalp. Then spread it with your hands. To better dose, you could also first apply the mousse to your hands and then to the scalp.
