Dry cleanser 101 all of unwash's dry cleansers
Dry shampoo is a game-changer for those looking to refresh their hair without the hassle of a full wash. Whether you're extending your blowout, combating oily roots, or just need a quick pick-me-up, dry cleansers absorb excess oil, add volume, and leave your hair looking and feeling fresh. They’re perfect for busy mornings, post-workout touch-ups, or travel days when washing isn’t an option.
What is the difference between our 3 Dry Cleansers (Dry Shampoo)?
How should I apply the dry cleansers?
Applying dry shampoo the right way makes all the difference in achieving fresh, voluminous hair without any white residue, especially on darker hair.
Start by shaking the bottle well to mix the formula for even application.
Section your hair and spray the dry cleanser onto the roots from about 6 inches away, focusing on areas that tend to get oily or need a refresh.
Let it sit for a moment to absorb excess oil, then massage it in with your fingertips to blend seamlessly.
Finally, style as usual, and enjoy hair that looks and feels freshly washed.
How often should I use the dry cleansers?
Dry shampoo is a great way to extend the time between washes, but like anything, balance is key. Most people can use it 1–3 times a week depending on their hair type. If you have an oily scalp, you might reach for it more often, while those with drier hair might use it less. Overusing dry shampoo can lead to product buildup, which may affect scalp health and hair growth. To keep your scalp fresh, consider alternating with a clarifying shampoo or scalp scrub to remove any residue.
Tips & Tricks
If your hair gets oily super fast:
Apply dry shampoo before your hair even gets greasy! Spraying a light layer on clean hair helps absorb oil before it appears, keeping your roots fresher for longer.
Post work-out:
Sweat can make your scalp feel greasy fast. To combat this, apply dry shampoo before your workout to help absorb moisture as you sweat. Afterward, give your roots a quick blast with a blow dryer to reactivate the product and add freshness.
More volume? Yes please:
Dry shampoo isn’t just for oil control, it’s a secret weapon for volume! Spray it at the roots, let it sit for a moment, then flip your head upside down and massage it in. For even more lift, use a round brush and blow dryer at the crown for extra bounce.
