class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First things first: What is dry shampoo, anyway? According to Brian Moore, a board-certified dermatologist and Dermatology Advisor at Illuminate Labs, dry shampoos are basically alcohol- or starch-based products that cut the grease and oils in the hair, without washing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSome dry shampoo products deliver their agents through a spray, while others provide tinted powder to match hair color,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Does_Dry_Shampoo_Work\"><\/span><a><\/a>How Does Dry Shampoo Work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dry shampoo works by soaking up the excess oil and grease in hair. \u201cThis gives the hair a fresher smell and cleaner look,\u201d Dr. Moore says. \u201cDry shampoo also can add volume by coating the hair fibers with starch or color products, almost like makeup.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_the_Difference_Between_Dry_Shampoo_and_Regular_Shampoo\"><\/span><a><\/a>What Is the Difference Between Dry Shampoo and Regular Shampoo?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Board-certified dermatologist Erum N. Ilyas, CEO &amp; Founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/ambernoon.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AmberNoon<\/a>, explains that Shampoo traditionally works via the use of surfactants that attach to oils in your scalp with a hydrophobic end, and they are washed away by water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDry shampoo is technically not \u2018cleaning\u2019 your hair in this traditional sense,\u201d she adds. \u201cSince water is not used with dry shampoo, these products are focused on using alcohol or corn starch to soak up extra oils in our hair to give it a temporarily \u2018fresh\u2019 look\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Dry_Shampoo_Bad_for_Your_Hair\"><\/span><a><\/a>Is Dry Shampoo Bad for Your Hair?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No, the occasional use of dry shampoo is not bad for your hair, according to Dr. Ilyas. \u201cFor some people, these products can help manage hair types, hairstyles, and busy schedules buying a little time between hair washes,\u201d she says. \u201cBut dry shampoos cannot take the place of regular shampoos simply because they are not playing the same role in a hair care routine. Dry shampoo can reduce the appearance of excess oil on the scalp, but the oil is still present and adhering to alcohol and starches. These will need to be washed out with routine shampoo to avoid product residue buildup.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Are_the_Benefits_of_Using_Dry_Shampoo\"><\/span><a><\/a>What Are the Benefits of Using Dry Shampoo?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dry shampoo is incredibly convenient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSome people find that excess hair-washing contributes to hair tangling and hair breakage and try to reduce the frequency of hair-washing,\u201d Dr. Ilyas explains. \u201cHairstyles that are intended to last days or weeks at a time may benefit from the use of dry shampoo as well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Ilyas also adds that time, money, and effort can go into creating certain hairstyles or even blowouts, and washing with these styles will devitalize the look too quickly. \u201cDry shampoo use can give some wiggle room to avoid excess hair washing,\u201d Dr. Ilyas notes. \u201cAnd people who exercise regularly and sweat routinely can benefit from dry shampoos to avoid excess hair washing that can overdry the hair.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Use_Dry_Shampoo_On_Your_Hair\"><\/span><a><\/a>How to Use Dry Shampoo On Your Hair<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To use dry shampoo on your hair, Dr. Moore recommends holding the bottle about six inches from your scalp and only spraying as much as needed. \u201cThen, massage the scalp or run the fingers through your hair to make sure the dry shampoo gets spread evenly and can\u2019t be seen,\u201d he says. \u201cIn general, it should only be sprayed on oily areas. To avoid extra dryness or static, avoid spraying the ends of the hair.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_Should_You_Use_Dry_Shampoo\"><\/span><a><\/a>When Should You Use Dry Shampoo?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You should use dry shampoo if:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You want to preserve a blowout or other hairstyle<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You exercise a lot<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You don\u2019t have time to wash your hair<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You need an easy, convenient pick-me-up for your hair<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dry_Shampoo_Before_and_After\"><\/span>Dry Shampoo: Before and After<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"564\" height=\"288\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rodanandfields.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/refresh-dry-shampoo-before-after-results-1.jpg\" alt=\"Young woman with dark haiur showing before and after side-by-side comparison after using Refresh+ Dry Shampoo\" class=\"wp-image-2088\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rodanandfields.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/refresh-dry-shampoo-before-after-results-1.jpg 564w, https:\/\/www.rodanandfields.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/refresh-dry-shampoo-before-after-results-1-550x281.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 564px) 100vw, 564px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_the_Final_Purpose_of_Dry_Shampoo\"><\/span><a><\/a>What Is the Final Purpose of Dry Shampoo?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The final purpose of dry shampoo is to give hair a clean, fresh look and feel without going through the often time-consuming process of washing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Find_the_Best_Dry_Shampoo_at_Rodan_Fields\"><\/span><a><\/a>Find the Best Dry Shampoo at Rodan + Fields<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a high-quality dry shampoo, try the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rodanandfields.com\/en-us\/shop\/jumbo-refresh-dry-shampoo\/p\/STSHD08\">Refresh+ Dry Shampoo<\/a>; a lightweight dry shampoo that balances the scalp and absorbs excess sweat, oil, and odor so you can keep your hair refreshed between washes.
