How to choose dry shampoo (tips)

In order to choose a remedy suitable for personal use, you need to take into account several factors:

• general condition of hair - the presence of dandruff, split ends, damage after staining;
• dry shampoo composition - it is better to give preference to natural ingredients (herbs, plants, extracts, oils);
• the need for treatment of hair in the process of leaving (such a possibility is indicated on the packaging);
• company and country production;
• hair type (for oily curls, the composition contains special components that dry the curls and scalp).

The main protection against breakage and accelerated loss is the presence of oils and essential components. The presence of coconut or olive oil in the composition is recommended. In this case, the package must be marked "Oil".

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

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

Also, a “gray tint” - a white film - may form on the hair. Regardless of the brand chosen, the composition should be applied only to dry hair. On wet or slightly moistened with water (even pre-dried with a towel), the curls will begin to form lumps.

How to use dry shampoo

The use of any series of care product assumes that several consecutive steps will be taken:

• prepare hair - comb, remove invisibility, hairpins, decorative elastic bands;
• before using the composition, the shampoo bottle should be shaken thoroughly (shake 3-4 times);
• the powder is applied along the entire length by hand or using a large wide cosmetic 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 be simply rubbed with a dry towel. Dry hair shampoo (you need to use it carefully) cannot be applied to wet curls. Any such composition, upon contact with water, begins to form lumps. As a result, it becomes difficult to remove. You need to use the product according to certain rules so as not to harm your hair or scalp.

If a composition is used in the form of a spray, then the following steps must be performed:

• shake the can (2-3 times);
• comb the curls (so that the cloves move smoothly through the hair and do not catch on);
• divide into small and not too thick strands (uniform);
• spray on the scalp (grab the hair by 7 cm);
• apply a small amount to the ends;
• massage the head near the roots;
• wait 5-10 minutes;
• comb your hair (3-4 times using a thick comb).

It is recommended to carefully check the skin areas:

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

Shampoo particles may remain in these areas. Can be used as a complementary or complete volume creation tool. In order to achieve the desired effect, you need to tilt your head forward (the hair should hang freely and without being secured with elastic bands). The product is applied to the root zone. The curls are actively whipped with your hands.

As a result, a visual increase in the amount of hair will be noticeable from the very roots. Also dry hair cleansing compositions are used to give a matte effect. If the hairstyle has already been created, then the product is applied (sprayed) from above.

Pros of the tool and its cons

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

Any product from this series:

• suitable for all hair types (90%);
• used for dark and light shades;
• dries the scalp;
• gives volume.

Can be used at home. Application rules are simple and straightforward.

The advantages of dry shampoos are:

• the ability to use in any conditions (on business trips, hikes, during the period when hot water is turned off, at dachas);
• saving time - the grooming process takes 10-15 minutes from the moment of preparation to the final combing;
• natural composition - among the components are extracts of herbs, plants (treatment and restoration);
• absence of allergic reactions and irritations on the scalp;
• the ability to preserve the rich color of colored hair (increasing the interval between traditional washing with liquid shampoos);
• the effect of professionally performed keratin straightening (not all types);
• the ability to add volume to already styled curls (finished hairstyle);
• refreshing skin and hair;
• long-term positive effect (at least 24 hours);
• lack of weighting;
• lack of film;
• volume at the roots with naturally thin hair.

Shampoo advantages - elimination of hair damage. The components penetrate the structure and fill the voids. As a result, the curls regain their strength and elasticity. The exposure to harmful components from the environment and air is reduced. A protective thin layer forms on the curls.

Cons and negative qualities:

• it is impossible (not recommended) to use it often - optimally once a week;
• the cost of the formulations and the price of packages are expensive for 90% of consumers - on average, 500 rubles per piece;
• the spray ends quickly, the consumption is higher than that of bulk products (after 1-2 applications);
• the effect of gray hair is formed if applied on dark curls. Occurs when the brushing process is poorly done or insufficiently thorough;

• grease and impurities are removed worse (when compared with traditional shampoo);
• used to maintain cleanliness, but not as the main care composition;
• adsorbents in the composition lead to pore clogging;
• overdrying of the scalp and hair can be observed (not recommended for use on dry curls);
• dandruff may appear;
• irritation occurs;
• can not be mixed without special need with a regular or professional shampoo;
• does not apply to damp or wet hair;
• in some cases, after use there is an itching sensation.

Dry shampoo for hair (it should be used as an additional tool) retains the effect on average 5-7 hours. It is recommended to use the composition as an additional care product. High-quality options contribute to a visual improvement in the condition of the hair, but cannot act as a full-fledged medicinal composition.
