Designed to revive second and third-day hair, dry shampoo helps add volume and absorb grease in hair that isn’t freshly washed. Dry shampoo is a great alternative to a fresh wash for when you are short on time or want to extend the number of days between washes.
Dry shampoo can also be used on clean hair to add
texture, body and volume. Some dry shampoos also have added benefits such as protecting the hair from environmental damage, improving tensile strength and reparing hair.
Because of its name, there is a misconception that dry
shampoo dries out hair. But fear not. Dry shampoo alone does not damage hair. Especially when using dry shampoos like those in Rogue Beauty’s curated
salon-quality range, which have added benefits for your locks. With these products, you have nothing to worry about in terms of unwanted dryness.
While dryness typically isn’t a huge concern, scalp
build-up is something to keep in mind when using dry shampoo. When overused or used improperly, dry shampoo can have adverse effects on your hair and scalp. To avoid this, simply use clarifying shampoo the next time you wash your hair to ensure your scalp is cleaned fresh before dry shampoo is applied again.
Likewise, it’s advisable to try and give your hair at least one day without dry shampoo after you wash and condition it.
While dry shampoo is a beneficial hair care product for
most people, there are a few instances in which you might want to avoid it.
Dry shampoo is not recommended for people who have
pre-existing hair and scalp conditions including:
- Dandruff
- Hair loss
- Folliculitis
- Psoriasis
To reap the benefits of dry shampoo without the
risk of harming scalp health, it’s advisable to use dry shampoo no more than two consecutive days at a time. In between uses, it’s best to use a clarifying shampoo and conditioner to restore your scalp and remove any build-up.
