What is dry shampoo?
CLEAN VOLUME Dry Shampoo
REFRESH DUST Volumizing Dry Shampoo
RESET Dry Shampoo – Oily hair
In recent years, dry shampoo has resurfaced in both hair salons and in everyone's bathroom. A true hair innovation, dry shampoo was created 40 years ago to help women space out "classic" washes. Somewhat neglected in the 90s, this product is making a strong comeback with new, lighter formulas and convenient packaging.
Dry shampoo contains micronized powders like clay, ozokerite, and rice starch, which absorb the sebum present at the roots of the hair. It helps to refresh the hair and also boosts the style and volume.
However, claiming that it should only be used on oily hair would be an understatement. In fact, this innovative product has more than one trick up its sleeve!
When to use it?
There are several reasons why you might use dry shampoo:
- After a workout to give your hair a fresher look
- In addition to a classic shampoo to space out washes. Don't have time to wash your hair on shampoo day? Apply dry shampoo today and wash it tomorrow!
- To refresh your hairstyle. Indeed, some dry shampoos give a volumizing effect, which is quite practical…
- When traveling, when access to water is limited, or while hiking, for example
How to apply it correctly?
- Shake the dry shampoo can well to mix the powders and active ingredients in the bottle. This step is essential to avoid a whitish residue on the hair.
- Separate your strands and spray it 30 cm from the roots. Focus on areas that get greasy quickly, such as the fringe.
- Leave on for 1 to 2 minutes, allowing the powders to absorb the sebum.
- Massage the scalp for a few seconds to distribute the product evenly. Then rub with a clean towel.
- With your head upside down, brush your hair vigorously in all directions. If you feel like your hair is dirty after this step (dull, slightly powdery hair), we recommend brushing your hair again.
Pro tip: For optimal results, we advise applying it to dry, not damp, hair.
What are the benefits?

How long does it last?
Note that dry shampoo does not replace traditional shampoo; it should be used occasionally. Generally, the effect of dry shampoo can last up to 2 days on fine hair.
When is it best to use dry shampoo?
It is best to use dry shampoo in the following situations:

To space out washes and reduce the use of traditional shampoos that can dry out the scalp.

When you don't have time to wash your hair.
-
To extend the life of a hairstyle.
-
As a temporary emergency solution, but not as a long-term substitute for regular washing.
Which dry shampoo should I choose for my hair type?
The choice of dry shampoo depends on your hair type:
-
For blonde or white hair, opt for a neutral formula.
-
For dark hair (black or brown), choose a colored formula close to your shade.
-
For color-treated hair, use a dry shampoo suitable for your color.
-
Consider transparent dry shampoos to avoid visible residue.
How to make the results last?

Let the product work for a few minutes before brushing.
-
Use the appropriate amount: start with a little and add more if necessary.
