Introduction to Dry Shampoo

Dry shampoo is a hair styling product that is increasing becoming popular finding its place in saloons, homes and travel accessories. This is not a new shampoo product but the busy life style and the disadvantages of using a wet shampoo have resulting in the adoption of this convenient product.

Some research reports suggest that using wet shampoo every day is not a good idea since it might dry your scalp because of chemicals it uses. That is the reason it is recommended to use them only 2-3 times a week. But for people that is a long gap and their hair loses the freshness and the fragrance. You could use the so called "in-between" shampoo. It will rejuvenate your hair and saves time.

Dry shampoos generally come in a spray bottle although powder based products are also available in the market. It is convenient to use the spray bottle but if you prefer to use the powder, make sure you apply it evenly. Excessive powder build up makes your hair heavier making you take shower sooner thereby defeating the purpose of dry shampoo. On the other hand, if you are using a spray, it is easier to spread it across the head more evenly. It does cause the the build up if you use it for a week or so because eventually it forms a fine powder substance. So you would have to use the wet shampoo at least once in a week.
