Dry shampoo is a staple for any hair care routine. Hectic lifestyles and an emphasis on long-term hair health, the trend is to shy away from the daily shampoo. But how to keep hair looking fresh and clean on the daily while stopping greasy hair in its tracks?
When your hair is not clean, buildup can weigh your hair down keeping it flat and appearing oily, especially near your scalp. Regardless of your hair type, whether it is Type one, two, three, or four voluminous, clean hair is always coveted.
If you are looking for tips and tricks on how to make your second-day (or third or fourth!) hair look voluminous and fresh as the day you washed it, you’re in the right place as Saints & Sinners Haircare is here to help.
Step One: Pick A Good Dry Shampoo
When searching for a dry shampoo, you want to pick a product that performs well, regardless of circumstance. If you have dark hair, you should avoid dry shampoos that leave white residue. These chalky products will not only make your hair appear gray, but it’s also glaringly obvious to anyone who sees your hair. You should also pick a dry shampoo that doesn't leave your hair feeling sticky or crunchy. Instead, use a dry shampoo that will leave your hair feeling light, healthy and clean. Additionally, your dry shampoo should also be effective in different types of weather. For example, you shouldn’t have to worry about your hair becoming staticky, frizzy or gummy simply because the weather is humid.
Picking a dry shampoo that works well is only part of the equation. You should also avoid dry shampoos that contain harsh chemicals as these not only are absorbed through your scalp but can also be inhaled. Avoid parabens, sulfates, phthalates and talc in your products, and your hair (and health!) will thank you.
If you are looking for a dry shampoo that performs well, free of the bad stuff, try our Superfresh Divine Dry Shampoo. Natural starch absorbs oil while rice protein adds volume and increases density, and it is free of talc, gluten, parabens, phthalates, SES & SLES sulfates, iron oxides, mineral oil, synthetic colors, petrolatum, nut ingredients and palm oil.
Step Two: Apply Your Dry Shampoo
To add volume to your hair with dry shampoo, there are a few simple steps to follow. First, be sure to shake the product. This will ensure that it is applied evenly. Next, section off layers of your hair so that the root area is visible. Start from the bottom of your head and work your way up. Be sure to spray the dry shampoo on the root area of this section, before working your way up to the higher sections’ roots. Our Superfresh Divine Dry Shampoo is great at adding volume to your roots while absorbing oil and sebum without the talc or chalky white residue.
Step Three: Reapply Throughout The Day
When trying to achieve the perfect, voluminous look, it’s important to realize that gravity pulls your hair down. That being said, if you apply dry shampoo in the morning, come night time, your hair might be back to looking flat. Don’t be afraid to apply Superfresh Divine Dry Shampoo multiple times throughout the day for consistently fabulous (and great smelling!) results.
Sinfully Good Styling!
