Dry Shampoos
Dry shampoo is a waterless hair product that absorbs excess oil, grease, and sweat from the scalp to make hair appear cleaner. Available in aerosol sprays or powders, it acts as a temporary refresher between traditional washes and can also add texture and volume to hair.
How It Works
- Oil Absorption: It uses absorbent ingredients like starch (e.g., rice, corn, tapioca), clay, or silica to soak up sebum (natural scalp oils).
- Application: Typically sprayed or sprinkled directly onto the roots from a distance, it is then massaged in and brushed through the hair.
- Styling & Texture: Because the powders coat the hair shaft, it provides grip and matte texture, making it useful for teasing and holding styles.
