Not only does dry shampoo save our hair from a wash and some damage, but it also saves us ladies time and energy to get ready in the morning.

For those who are new to the dry shampoo game, or if you want to learn more then read on to find out some helpful tips and trick about dry shampoo

Use it only on dry hair

It doesn't take a genius to figure out that dry shampoo only works on dry hair. So don't even try spraying it on your wet, freshly washed hair.

6 inches away

Keep your distance when spraying aerosol dry shampoo. At least 6 inches away or else you'll get way too much build up and you won't be able to separate it throughout your hair.

Don't freak out

If it's your first time, don't freak out if your hair gets a little white. Let the product sit in and the white residue should go away. Then, comb it through your hair with your fingers.

Add as you go

Inspect your hair if you missed a few spots. If you did, just add a little more and brush through to distribute the product evenly.

Practical beauty tips to help conserve water

Stop touching your hair

Do not touch your hair after you've styled it. The natural oils on your fingertips will only make your hair oily again.

Apply on the roots

Do not apply dry shampoo to the top of your head. Instead, lift the top layer of hair and spray underneath at the root so you can hide the white residue.

Turn up the volume

When used properly, dry shampoos not only remove excess oil from your hair but add texture and volume, too. It's the perfect product to take your 'do from day to night.

There's not a huge difference

The difference between a spray and powder dry shampoo is pretty insignificant. Dry shampoo in a can is more efficient at soaking up the oil, but both variants get the job done.
