  6. Then don’t touch your curls after

Use dry shampoo sparingly

Dry shampoo isn’t meant to be a replacement for shampoo, washing, or even a full refresh. Instead, use dry shampoo specifically when your scalp feels oily and ONLY on your scalp.

In my case, sometimes my scalp gets oily if I haven’t washed my hair in three or four days. In that case, I use dry shampoo on my scalp and refresh my hair using other methods.

When my hair feels greasy after using too much hair oil or leave-in condish, hair cream. This is when I use the dry shampoo on my hair as well; learned this from lovely UK blogger CurlyCooper26! Here’s a quick tutorial. 

Top Benefits of using Dry Shampoo

One of the best things about dry shampoo is that it saves you precious washday time. Instead of having to wash your hair every day, you can go a bit longer between washes. Letting your scalp and hair rest between washes is healthier for your hair anyway.

Another great benefit of dry shampoo is that it gives you free voluminous hair! When your hair is weighed down by oil and grease, it can look flat and lifeless. But when you use dry shampoo, it absorbs that excess oil, which lifts your hair and gives it more volume.
