WHY DRY SHAMPOO IS "BAD" FOR YOUR HAIR

WHY DRY SHAMPOO IS "BAD" FOR YOUR HAIR

Dry shampoo is a saviour for many who find their “second day” hair is usually not the best. Not to mention the time required in the morning to wash, blow dry and style your hair when dry shampoo can save up to 30 min off your morning routine. But there’s still a big dilemma about whether or not dry shampoo is doing more harm than good. It is no secret many women over-use dry shampoo, which results in scalp dryness, hair loss, and YES even scalp pimples.  

So, is dry shampoo really bad for your hair? The simple answer is no, but it’s not that simple. 

DRY SHAMPOO IS NOT ‘SHAMPOO’

Here’s what you need to know about dry shampoo: if you’re spraying product and powders near your scalp, you have to wash it out at some point. 

Dry shampoo does not cleanse your scalp and should never be used as a substitute for shampoo. It simply works to ‘mask’ and absorb oil and odor. That is what makes your hair look cleaner the next day. But dry shampoo does not get absorbed by the scalp. It is simply designed to coat the scalp and hair, and it needs to be washed out within 2 days…yes we are putting a time limit on dry shampoo. It should not remain on the scalp for longer than two days.
