Dry shampoo is truly one of the biggest time-saving beauty hacks out there — but are you using it to its full potential? Whether you’re looking to extend your style, add volume, or just refresh post-workout hair, these pro tips will help you get the most out of your favorite spray.
1. Apply at Night, Not Just in the Morning
Most of us reach for dry shampoo in the morning rush, but applying it before bed gives the product time to absorb oils overnight. You’ll wake up with fresher-looking, more voluminous hair — no early morning sprays needed.
2. Section It Out
Rather than spraying the top of your head and hoping for the best, part your hair in sections and apply dry shampoo directly to your roots where oil builds up most. A little bit in each section goes a long way and prevents white residue.
3. Keep Your Distance
Hold the can 6–10 inches away from your scalp to avoid buildup and that dreaded chalky look. This also helps the product distribute more evenly and naturally.
4. Let It Sit, Then Massage It In
After spraying, give the product a few minutes to do its job. Then, use your fingers or a brush to massage it in and break up any residue. This is key for blending and building volume.
5. Don’t Overdo It
Dry shampoo is amazing — but not a full-on substitute for regular washes. Overuse can lead to product buildup and scalp irritation. Use it to extend your style for a day or two, not a week! ;)
