9 Ways to Get More Out of Your Dry Shampoo
Sure, dry shampoo can help extend the lifespan of a salon blowout, or help you out when you oversleep and there’s no time to wash your hair. But there are so many other ingenious ways to use it besides battling greasy strands. Try these:
1. To create beachy texture
Here’s a tip for girls with natural waves or curls—or ladies who accidentally went too ’80s prom queen with the curling iron: Spritzing your hair with dry shampoo, then finger-tousling, will break up those big, spirally curls and make them appear more piecey.
2. To provide soft hold
3. To give grip to pins and clips
Spraying a touch of dry shampoo on a hair accessory—or a pin you’re using to secure an updo—slip-proofs it, keeping it (and your hair) securely in place.
4. To camouflage dark roots
5. To prevent stringy strands
If your skin is on the oily side, spritzing a little dry shampoo on the hair around your hairline (or on the underside of bangs) will keep those strands from clinging to greasy skin and getting stringy.
6. To help tease your tresses
Spraying a little dry shampoo on spots you plan to back-comb will give your strands grip and keep teased hair from falling flat. You can also try flipping your hair upside down and focusing the dry shampoo at your roots. Give it a good finger-tousle, then flip your head back up for instant volume.
7. To enable a product do-over
Did you accidentally over-apply shine serum, oil, or styling cream? A few sprays of dry shampoo will absorb extra oil and help give your hair body again.
8. To sop up sweat—everywhere
You already know to use your dry shampoo on your head after a sweaty Spin class, but did you know it can help beyond hair? It also works on sweaty palms, feet, and the backs of your knees.
9. To up a short cut’s cool factor
Hair looking helmet-y? Give your locks a dose of dry shampoo and tousle for edgier, deliberately undone texture.
