Dry shampoo was originally invented to assist those who were unable to cleanse their hair on their own or due to circumstance i.e. in hospitals and medical facilities. Nevertheless, dry shampoo has entered the hair product market and some wonder how this item can be an useful part of their hair routine. Therefore, what is the purpose of dry shampoos?

Dry shampoo is an excellent way to maintain or rejuvenate hairstyles without having to add soap and water. Moreover, if your strands tend to be on the oily side, dry shampoo can easily refresh, clean and soak up any excess oils. Not sure what brand you should use or try out? Try using regular baby powder which doubles as a great dry shampoo. Sprinkle the baby powder on strands then brush the powder out. Remember, the darker your hair color the more noticeable the powder will be; so then, go slowly using smaller amounts until the powder has been worked through.

Bonus Tip: Dry shampoos are also great post workout to freshen locks.

Hair Quickie: We always believe that you should get as much bang for your buck when it comes to household items. Dandruff is an unsightly hair issue that can be caused by environmental exposure to extreme heat or cold and by using too many hair products i.e. hair gel, pomades or hairspray. Mouthwash can be used for more than controlling bad breath, it can also help to control flakes.
