How to choose a dry shampoo (tips)

In order to choose a tool suitable for personal use, you need to consider several factors:

• general condition of the hair – the presence of dandruff, split ends, damage after staining;
• composition of dry shampoo – it is better to give preference to natural components (herbs, plants, extracts, oils);
• the need for treatment of hair during the care process (on the package indicates such a possibility);
• company and country of production;
• hair type (for greasy curls, the composition contains special components that dry the curls and scalp).

The main protection against brittleness and accelerated loss is the presence of oils and essential components. Coconut or olive oil is recommended. On the packaging in this case should be marked “Oil”.

If it is necessary to influence the scalp, restore its health and get rid of dryness, it is recommended that tonic components (vitamins, panthenol) be present in the composition. At home, you can prepare dry shampoo and potato starch (100 g) and table salt (5 g). To give a pleasant aroma, 2-3 drops of essential oil are used.

In order to increase the efficiency of the selected composition, it must be borne in mind that the applied amount should be average. Do not use shampoo often or cover the curls with a thick layer. In 90% of cases, the effect will be the opposite of what is desired.

Also, a “grayish tint” – a white film may form on the hair. Regardless of the brand you choose, apply the composition only on dry hair. On moist or slightly moistened with water (even pre-dried with a towel), curls, the product will begin to form lumps.

How to use dry shampoo

The use of any series of care product suggests that several sequential actions will be done:

• prepare hair – comb, remove invisibility, hairpins, decorative gum;
• before applying the composition, the shampoo bottle should be thoroughly shaken (shake 3-4 times);
• powder application is carried out along the entire length with your hands or with the help of a large wide cosmetology brush;

• after application, it is recommended to massage the head (near the roots) and along the entire length of the hair;
• wait 2-3 minutes;
• comb the curls well.

Short hair can simply be wiped with a dry towel. Dry hair shampoo (you need to use it carefully) can not be applied to wet curls. Any similar composition in contact with water begins to form lumps. As a result, it becomes difficult to remove. It is necessary to apply the product according to certain rules so as not to harm the hair or scalp.

If you use a composition in the form of a spray, then you need to perform the following steps:

• shake the can (2-3 times);
• comb curls (so that the cloves move through the hair smoothly and do not catch);
• divide into small and not too thick strands (uniform);
• spray onto the scalp (grab hair 2’8 inch);
• apply a small amount on the tips;
• massage your head near the roots;
• wait 5-10 minutes;
• comb hair (3-4 times using a thick scallop).

It is recommended to carefully check skin areas:

• behind the ears;
• on the neck (in the area invisible during visual inspection).

Particles of shampoo may remain in these areas. It can be used as an additional or full-fledged tool for creating volume. In order to achieve the desired effect, you need to tilt your head forward (hair should hang freely and without fixing with elastic bands). The product is applied to the root zone. Curls are actively beaten with hands.

As a result, a visual increase in the amount of hair will be noticeable from the very roots. Also, dry hair cleansers are used to add a dull effect. If the hairstyle has already been created, then the product is applied (sprayed) on top.

Pros of the remedy and its cons

Any cosmetic product has a number of advantages and disadvantages. It is necessary to consider them in order to avoid deterioration of the hair condition. The main direction of the composition and all its components is the fight against fat. Additional pros and cons allow you to choose the best way to care.

• fat and dirt are removed worse (when compared with traditional shampoo);
• It is used to maintain cleanliness, but not as the main leaving composition;
