How To Use a Natural Dry Shampoo Powder
Does your hair need a quick fix between shampoos? Our organic Fresh Locks™ dry shampoos quickly absorb the oil from your roots, leaving your hair looking clean and feeling and smelling fresh, while giving it an extra boost of volume when you have to skip the lather.
If you have ever used an aerosol dry shampoo and were unimpressed with the results, a dry shampoo powder may be just the solution you need.
To ensure you get the most out of our Organic Dry Shampoo powder, here are some quick instructions on applying it effectively!
How To Use Dry Shampoo
Always begin with dry hair and apply the powder primarily to the roots, where oil tends to accumulate.
Part the hair into small sections, about one to two inches apart, starting with the areas that tend to become oily first.
Choose Your Application Method
Brush Method
The most precise way to apply dry shampoo is with an applicator brush — even a clean makeup brush works well.
Sprinkle a small amount of powder into your hand or a small container. Dip the tips of the bristles into the powder, tap off the excess, and lightly dab the brush along the roots.
Fingers Method
If you don’t have a brush, you can use your fingertips.
Sprinkle a small amount of powder onto your fingertips, rub them together, and gently massage the powder into the scalp, starting at your hairline or where oil is present.
Sprinkle Method
If your dry shampoo container has a sifter top, you can lightly sprinkle the powder directly onto the scalp.
Part your hair into small sections and apply a very small amount of powder at the roots, where oil tends to build up. Use a light hand — you can always add more if needed.
Because this method gives you less control over the amount of powder being applied, it works best when used sparingly and targeted to the oiliest areas.
Distribute the Powder
Once the powder has been applied, use your fingertips to massage and distribute it through the scalp. Wait a minute or two to allow the powder to absorb excess oil.
Then massage the scalp again, tousle your hair, and brush through to distribute the powder evenly. Spot apply more powder only where needed.
Night-Before Tip
Applying dry shampoo before bedtime can be especially effective. The powder has more time to absorb oil overnight and blend naturally into the hair.
Tip: If you wear a part in your hair, apply the powder near the part rather than directly on it.
A dry powder shampoo is great to use between washes, after the gym, or when traveling or camping.
