When and How to Use Dry Shampoo

Dry shampoo is one of those products that can be a total game-changer, but it might feel a little confusing or intimidating to use if you’re not familiar with it. So, when and how should you use dry shampoo? 


Dry shampoo is most commonly used to extend the life of a blowout, but it can also refresh second-day hair, add volume to limp hair, and absorb oil and sweat on hot days. Basically, if your hair needs a quick pick-me-up, dry shampoo is a fantastic option. 


Here are some great tips from your HeadMasters Salon hair stylists to help you determine when and how to use dry shampoo. We’ll also answer common questions to help you get the most out of this essential hair care product. 


How to Use Dry Shampoo 

Dry shampoo is a great way to refresh your hair between washes. If you’ve never used it before, the process might seem a bit overwhelming. We’ve seen our share of greasy Tyler TX hair, so here’s a step-by-step guide to help you make the most of dry shampoo: 

  1. Start with dry hair. Dry shampoo works best on second- or third-day hair that’s starting to look oily or greasy. 

  2. Shake the bottle well before use. This ensures the product is evenly distributed when applied. 

  3. Section your hair and hold the bottle about six inches away from your head. Spray the roots in short bursts until they’re coated with a light layer of dry shampoo. 

  4. Work the dry shampoo into your roots using your fingers. Massage it in for about 30 seconds to absorb excess oil. 

  5. Brush your hair thoroughly. Use a paddle brush or wide-tooth comb to evenly distribute the product and style as desired. 


Do You Use Dry Shampoo Before or After Showering? 

There’s no right or wrong answer here—it’s a matter of personal preference. Most people prefer to use dry shampoo between washes to absorb excess oil and buildup from their scalp. As mentioned earlier, it should be applied to dry hair. 


Others, however, choose to use dry shampoo after showering and shampooing. Once your hair is dry, dry shampoo can act as a preventative measure, creating a barrier against grease before it begins. This method works particularly well for finer hair that tends to get oily quickly. Additionally, dry shampoo can help add volume and texture to your style. Whichever method you choose, remember to shake the bottle well and focus on the roots for the best results. This will ensure you always have gorgeous hair in Tyler TX! 


Do You Use Dry Shampoo on Clean or Dirty Hair? 

Dry shampoo is a versatile product that works in various scenarios. It can be used on clean or dirty hair, but it performs best on hair that’s slightly dirty. If your hair is very greasy, consider washing it first, drying it completely, and then applying dry shampoo as a preventative measure. Sometimes, using dry shampoo proactively is more effective than relying on it to rescue already oily hair. 


Do You Use Dry Shampoo in the Morning or at Night? 

You can use dry shampoo in the morning or at night, depending on your needs. If your hair feels greasy or oily, dry shampoo can absorb excess oil and give your hair a fresh, clean appearance. Some people prefer applying dry shampoo at night to allow it to work overnight, giving them refreshed hair by morning. It’s all about what fits your routine. 

Regardless of when you use it, make sure you choose a dry shampoo suitable for your hair type and use it sparingly to avoid weighing your hair down or leaving it looking dull. 


Our Recommendation 

At HeadMasters Salon, we love and highly recommend Redken’s Deep Clean Dry Shampoo. It provides maximum oil absorption for all hair types, leaving your hair looking and feeling clean. Free from sulfates and silicones, it’s a top choice for maintaining healthy hair. 

To use Redken’s Deep Clean Dry Shampoo, simply hold the product 6-8 inches away from your hair. Spray it onto the oiliest parts of your hair at the roots and throughout. Then, brush the product through to distribute it evenly and remove any residue. You’ll be left with a fresh, clean feel and salon-worthy results.
