Do you know about dry shampoo?

If you have oily hair like me, then you already know how difficult it is to take care of it. Hair strands appear dry but the scalp hair is oily. You need to wash your hair at least every alternate day and you don’t really have the time for it. But what other alternative do you have? Welcome to the world of dry shampoos where you can whisk away all that oily hair in a few minutes time.

Who needs it?
Our scalp is filled with oil producing glands that release oil necessary to keep hair strands really soft and tangle free. but for some women, these oil glands work over time resulting in an oilier strand that will be difficult to manage. This same oily scalp can lead to dandruff and even fungal infections in the long run. This is where a dry shampoo can really work wonders. A dry shampoo will whisk away all of the oil while perfuming your hair and still making it as manageable as possible in the long run

How it works?
Most dry shampoos are made up of tinted powder that you have to spray in your hair. The dry tinted powder is designed to be sprayed at the root where it absorbs the extra oil. After a few minutes you have to brush out the excess powder and the effect is dry manageable oil free hair. The dry shampoo comes in various colors for colored hair and can be sprayed or just sprinkled onto your head for the best effects.

Advantages and disadvantages
It works but the powder cannot be completely removed. As a result, you will keep shedding large amounts of tinted powder all day long. Hair also tends to become really dry and stiff due to the oil absorbing powder that you have sprayed on.

Bottom line
If you have an important meeting to attend then this is the product to use as it does work. But don’t throw out your ordinary shampoo just yet. This product works but it can do with a little more innovation to make it really useful.
