What do you need

1 Part your hair into sections. Dividing the hair into strands will distribute the powder evenly. Gather the strands about 5 cm apart. Move from the beginning of the hairline to the nape of the neck.

2 First apply dry shampoo to the hair roots. Spray the spray shampoo about 15 cm away from the hair to avoid buildup. Start at the roots and work your way down the strands. The shampoo should not cover the hair extensively.

It's okay if, after applying the shampoo, the hair seems to be powdered with chalk. After brushing, the white residue should disappear.

3 Don't touch the shampoo for 5-10 minutes. Dry shampoo will take a little time to absorb the fat from the roots. Leave the shampoo in your hair for 5-10 minutes before shaking it out or brushing it out. The longer you wait, the more oil the dry shampoo will absorb.

4 Use your fingertips to massage the shampoo into your hair. Start at the roots where you first applied the shampoo.Continue to run your fingers through your hair until the shampoo gradually merges with it. You will know that you are done when there are practically no shampoo marks on your head.

5 Brush off any remaining shampoo. Some of the dry shampoo may have remained in the hair. If so, then you have overdone the amount of shampoo. Use a stiff-bristled brush to spread the shampoo through your hair and remove excess powder.

If whitish spots remain in your hair, blow-dry your hair at a low temperature and low power.

Method 2 of 3: When to Apply Shampoo

1 If used regularly, dry shampoo should be applied overnight. Applying dry shampoo before bed will keep the roots from getting oily overnight. It also gives the shampoo more time to absorb oil from the scalp. Unconscious rubbing of the head against the pillow during sleep causes the shampoo to rub into the hair and removes the powdery residue.
- As a last resort, dry shampoo can be used in the morning as well. This can be a great alternative to washing your hair in case you oversleep. Better to get into the habit of applying shampoo at night.
2 Use dry shampoo between shampoos. Washing your scalp daily can dry out your hair and dry out your scalp. Unless you have excessively fine hair, wash your hair with a liquid shampoo every 2-3 days. And to keep your hair fresh, use dry shampoo in between.
3 Do not apply dry shampoo two days in a row. Too much dry shampoo can cause the product to build up on your scalp, especially if you don't wash your hair periodically. This can weaken the follicles and, in extreme cases, even lead to hair loss. Use shampoo no more than 2-3 times a week.
4 Dry your hair before using dry shampoo for styling. Dry shampoo gives hair volume and thickness, but water can turn it into lumpy dirt. If you are using dry shampoo after showering, towel dry your hair first or blow dry it. Dry shampoo is great for oily hair because it absorbs rather than repels oil, but water can impair its effectiveness.

Method 3 of 3: Choosing a dry shampoo

1 Use a spray shampoo for added convenience. Aerosol shampoos are usually sold in aerosol cans that can be carried in a bag or purse. Unlike powder shampoos, aerosols are much easier to apply on the go and are better for oily hair.
2 Buy shampoo powder if you are very sensitive to odor. Aerosol shampoos release large amounts of particles onto the hair. If strong odors are causing you to sneeze, shampoo powder is the best choice. Powdered shampoo is also suitable for fine hair, as the spray can weigh it down a lot.
3 Smell the shampoo before you buy it. Dry shampoos come in a variety of flavors. While some smell like baby powder, others may have different floral scents. As with checking your perfume, spray a little shampoo in front of you to smell it. For the powder, fold your hand over the shampoo container and let the scent rise to your nose.
- The smell of shampoo is especially important if you are prone to allergies. In this case, use an unscented shampoo.
4 Avoid butane-based shampoos. Some store-bought shampoos contain chemicals such as butane or isobutane, overuse of which can damage your hair. Butane-based shampoos are also generally harmful to the environment. Buy dry shampoo made from natural, organic ingredients, or make your own.
- Cornstarch can be used as an alternative to dry shampoo.
