Dry Shampoo Guide

Before discussing what dry shampoo can do for your hair, it’s important to get a basic understanding of what it is that gets hair to the “greasy” point which causes it to look lifeless and limp and well, dirty. Everyone has natural oils that are created from sebaceous glands in the skin. These oils are meant to lubricate the skin and hair of animals. Some people have overactive sebaceous glands that tend to produce too much oils (or sebum) and this can cause hair to look oily and can cause it to become difficult to style.

Now that you have a basic understanding of why the hair on your head tends to begin to appear “greasy” you’ll be able to understand how dry shampoos work. Dry shampoos are created to absorb excess oils in the hair and to refresh and renew hair without using water.

Over washing of the hair can actually cause the sebaceous glands to overproduce sebum resulting in the greasy look. It can also damage hair. Think of your hair as a fine garment that with too many washings will fade and become frayed and weathered.

This is where dry shampoo comes in. It’s the perfect product for those in between days when you want some of the natural oils in your hair (many women say it’s the second day on not washing their hair that it really looks its best) but need to freshen it up. Or if you feel it’s a bit too oily and just want to absorb some of the hair’s natural oils. Many hairstyle “how-to’s” will list step one as “Spray on dry shampoo” because it’s important to begin styling with the right texture.

There are several brands of dry shampoos available and there are even ways to make your own. Among There are volume producing dry shampoos, dry shampoo for brown hair, dry shampoo for blonde hair and other types of dry shampoos for hair with various needs.

Dry shampoo sprays are inexpensive, long lasting and conveniently packaged for men and women on the go. They help keep hair looking and smelling terrific in between washings and they can be found on the Internet as well as in drug stores and beauty supply stores as well. Everyone should have a can of dry shampoo spray on hand – just in case.
