Using dry shampoo is the most practical way to get your hair into great shape when you don’t have time to wash it – as long as you know how to do it right. Here are three common mistakes you should try to avoid.
Too Much Spray
If you’re new to using dry shampoo, chances are you don’t know much you need to spray. Going overboard will leave your hair heavy, and dull, so make sure to start small and apply more dry shampoo if needed. Sometimes you don’t even have to spray the entire head – just the problematic areas.
Way Too Close
Make sure to hold the spray 8 to 12 inches away from your scalp unless you want to go through a hair disaster. Spraying too close will leave a white powdery residue, and your hair will end up looking stiff and dried-out.
Rushing the Process
Applying dry shampoo is faster than actually washing your hair, but don’t expect to be done in a minute. Spraying is just a first step, and you’re also supposed to massage the product into your scalp and even blow-dry your hair to fully refresh it.
