Lifestyle Desk: Cleaning is the most important part of hair and skin care. Now let’s talk about dry shampoo, which has become very popular these days, especially in summer. In earlier times, people used to use things like multani mitti, reetha water, amla-shikakai-reetha, etc. to clean the hair. Gradually, shampoo took its place and hair rinse is also being used a lot to deep clean the hair, while dry shampoo is also the new trending hair cleansing product. But is its use good for hair? Let us know about this in detail today.

What is dry shampoo?

Dry shampoo is a hair product that is used without water. It usually comes in spray or powder form and absorbs the excess oil (sebum) on the scalp, making the hair instantly look fresh and clean.

Benefits of dry shampoo

Instant fresh look – hair looks clean and bouncy without even washing hair
Time saving – when in a hurry or water is not available
Oily Scalp Control-Reduces greasiness by absorbing sweat and oil
Gives hair volume – gives flat hair a little lift
Travel Friendly-Can be easily used anywhere

How to use?

Divide hair into sections and spray dry shampoo 6–8 inches away from the scalp. Allow it to absorb the oil for 1–2 minutes. Blend well into hair with fingers or brush.

things to keep in mind

1-Do not use it daily. It is not a replacement for regular shampoo.
2-It is better to use it only 1-2 times a week.
3-Excessive use can cause buildup on the scalp.
4-Avoid sleeping by applying at night (allow the scalp to breathe).

Why is it best in summer?

In heat and humidity, sweat + oil together make the hair dirty quickly. In such a situation, dry shampoo is a quick fix, especially when you find it difficult to wash your hair every day.
