What is dry shampoo?
-
Dry shampoo is a (white, colored or transparent) powder in a can. Similar to hairspray or aerosol deodorant, but different. By pressing the cap on the can, the powder comes out. You spray this in the hair. The purpose of dry shampoo is in most cases to make oily hair appear 'clean'. In this case, clean is enclosed in quotation marks, because it is actually optical fraud. Your hair is not really clean, but it appears clean, which is why dry shampoo is not a substitute for normal shampoo. It is advisable to really wash your hair in the evening or the next day. Nowadays there are also dry shampoos that have a different purpose besides cleaning oily hair. Think of adding volume, giving your hair a fresh scent, etcetera.

The powder of the dry shampoo that is released absorbs the grease / oils from the hair roots. That's why some people use baby powder instead of regular dry shampoo, as this powder also absorbs fat. This makes your hair appear clean and prevents hair from falling down your face like strings. There are a few things to take into account during application.
Use dry shampoo on dry hair
-
Dry shampoo does not work on wet hair and that is a waste of your time and money. On wet hair, lumps form and that does not look fresh. And that while fresh and optically clean hair is the goal of dry shampoo.
Use dry shampoo from a distance
-
Like hairspray, it is better to spray dry shampoo into the hair from a distance. This will (partly) prevent a white haze in the hair. Moreover, you spread the dry shampoo better in the hair in this way. Keep about 12 inches away.

Prevent white haze
-
Anyone with dark hair will probably notice a white haze created by the powder of the dry shampoo. You can easily prevent this by always spraying dry shampoo from below on the hair roots. If you spray directly on the hair from above, you can clearly see the haze, while your hair falls over it if you spray from below.
Take your time
-
It is important to provide your hair with dry shampoo section by section. Lift your hair next to the part and then spray the dry shampoo on the roots. Then you lift her again (a few centimeters from the previous section) and spray some dry shampoo there again. You repeat this on both sides. Don't forget to include the back, like the crown, of the hair. Once you have sprayed the minimum amount into the hair you can see if you need more. With dry shampoo, the rule is less is more, because if you use too much your hair can still look dirty. Always brush through the hair to remove any white haze.
What can you use dry shampoo for?
