Dry shampoo: good or bad?
Dry shampoo is so practical! A lifesaver that provides a boost of freshness, volume to our hairstyle, and the appearance of clean roots.
But is it really harmless for hair?
Dry shampoo: how does it work?
Dry shampoo is applied directly to the roots.
It's a mixture of absorbent powders that absorb excess sebum from the scalp and mattify the roots. They are also texturizing to add volume and break the flat effect of dirty hair.
The most commonly used powders are rice starch, corn starch, white clay powder or even nettle powder.
Using dry shampoo makes roots clean, which easily allows you to skip a shampoo, at least for a day!
Really practical, especially in emergency situations, such as when you're short on time before an evening out or an important appointment.
Excessive dry shampoo: bad for the scalp
Using dry shampoo excessively every week is not good for your hair.
Indeed, the powders suffocate the scalp and clog the pores of the skin, which can lead to blemishes and irritation.
Ultimately, the scalp becomes sensitive and sebum production is no longer regulated.
If these powder deposits accumulate, the scalp will become completely asphyxiated, causing hair dryness and even hair loss.
It is essential to use dry shampoo close to a wash to rinse and completely eliminate excess powder.
If you use a dry shampoo in aerosol form: spraying the powder too close to the roots damages the scalp even more due to irritating gases.
The powder coming out of the spray is denser and therefore even more difficult to disperse on the roots.
Dry shampoos to absolutely avoid
Easy to find in supermarkets and very affordable, conventional spray dry shampoos are the most commonly used.
However, these products are full of harmful ingredients for the scalp, such as fuels, preservatives, endocrine disruptors or other components with detrimental consequences for hair.
Most of these dry shampoos actually contain very few natural plant powders compared to the quantity of chemical ingredients.
Yet all brands claim the benefits of plants #greenwashing
Not to mention aerosols, which contain polluting gases harmful to health and the planet.
How to properly use your dry shampoo?
Dry shampoo should be used as a temporary fix and should never completely replace a classic shampoo, which is essential for removing all the dirt and microbes that accumulate on the scalp.
It should also be kept in mind that powders must be removed quickly with a rinsing product: therefore, prioritize using dry shampoo the day before a hair wash, for example.
With each use, leave the product on for a few minutes, then remove residues by shaking your head and brushing from the roots, to distribute the powder. If it's a spray, spray the product at a distance from the roots.
But most importantly: opt for a natural dry shampoo, based only on plant powders, and without chemical ingredients. These are generally applied with a brush to dab the powder onto the roots.
