Dry hair shampoo

Every girl has faced the problem of lack of time, when she is in such a hurry that she is not able to wash, dry and style her hair. To look spectacular in this case, you can use a tool such as dry shampoo.

Dry shampoo cannot be called shampoo in the usual sense. It is not a detergent at all, but it performs the same functions as its classic counterpart. Regular wet shampoo removes dirt, keratinized particles of the epidermis, and sebum from the hair and scalp; Dry shampoo does the same.

In the video - care for damaged hair with dry shampoo.

The term "dry shampoo" can be confusing, but it has nothing to do with cleaning your hair in the same way as a traditional shampoo. The appearance of the method of dry hair cleaning dates back to the reign of the French kings. Then talc or powder was used for this, which was applied to the hair roots and scalp with a powder puff, rubbed into the skin and left for a while. The composition absorbed excess sebum along with impurities. Then it was combed out of the hair.Thus, it was possible to maintain a fresh look of the hairstyle even during a long journey, on a hunt or during numerous military campaigns. Both ladies and gentlemen used this tool.

Beauticians returned to this tool in the 70s of the last century, suggesting using various absorbents of natural origin, pressed in the form of tiles and packaged in bags, to remove contaminants from the head. To use such a bag, it was necessary to crush it without opening it, then apply the contents to the scalp.

Today, dry shampoo is available in cans and is a spray containing an absorbent that is applied to the head by spraying. This is a convenient and quick way to tidy up your hair in a situation where there is no opportunity or time to wash it in the traditional way: on a business trip or while traveling, or simply when the water suddenly turned off in the apartment.

Dry shampoo is available in aerosol and powder form, and the composition of both of these options is approximately the same, however, the spray will necessarily contain such an ingredient as a spray gas.

Ingredients may vary depending on the manufacturer, but one of the gases will always be in the first place in the list of ingredients: butane, isobutane or propane, due to the action of which the product can be distributed evenly over the entire head. Next are the active ingredients: aluminum, starch, talc and silicon dioxide, which absorb moisture and oily films that cover the hair. These particles, when applied, act like little sponges, absorbing oil from the roots of the hair.These ingredients are not currently considered harmful to hair or general health, but some manufacturers are replacing them with rice starch powder for the same effect.

Many well-known brands, such as Klorane, use natural ingredients, such as soothing nettle extracts and rice powder, or bamboo and blue yucca root extract - Alterna, which produces a transparent dry shampoo. Dry shampoos advertised as natural will cost about twice as much as regular versions. In this case, the buyer pays for goods produced by companies with high ethical standards. Certified Organic Dry Shampoo ingredients are grown according to sustainable standards, hence their high price tag.

In the event that a girl overslept at work, if she was unexpectedly invited to a date or to a party after a working day, and her hair is not in order - in this case it is useful to have a spray can on the dressing table or in your purse that can refresh your hair in just 5 minutes . Dry shampoo can save your hair for a day or two until you can wash your hair in the usual way. After its application, the hair becomes not only visually cleaner, but their fat content decreases, a pleasant smell and volume appear.

Some dry shampoos are specially formulated to give your hair the texture it needs to style. They are not intended to replace wet shampooing, they are used for special occasions that require extra hair volume. They are called "hair powder" or "hair powder". When applied to the roots, the volume needed to create a hairstyle will last all day and last at night.

Blondes this tool will help hide regrown roots or add brightness and color, because most dry shampoos are sprayed with white powder. Famous couturier Karl Lagerfeld made a good publicity for this tool, saying in an interview with Harper's Bazaar in 2012 that this is how he maintains his famous hair color.

Use dry shampoo for brunettes a little problematic, because you always need to carefully comb out the whitish dust from the hair. But recently, for dark, as well as for red hair, appropriate spray options have been developed that spray a dark absorbent.

You can replace the can of a store-bought product with a composition prepared at home. The recipe is simple:

1. A glass of mineral water;
2. A quarter cup of starch or rice flour;
3. A quarter glass of alcohol or vodka;
4. Essential oils that add flavor to the composition.

The ingredients are mixed and evenly applied to the hair. After complete drying, the mixture must be carefully combed out of the hair.For brunettes, you can notice starch on cocoa powder - beans. You should not use talcum powder or baby powder for this purpose, as they clog pores a lot.

For girls with thin or weak hair, dry shampoo can be a two-faced ally. They are tempted to use this miracle remedy as often as possible, but excessive use of it can harm the scalp: it will become unnecessarily oily due to blockage of the sebaceous ducts by particles of an absorbent substance, the hair will be heavy and brittle, and dandruff may appear.

There are diseases of the scalp in which the use of this cleaning method is completely contraindicated. This is contact dermatitis, allergies, psoriasis or seborrheic dermatitis. Dry shampoo should also not be used if the hair is undergoing a regrowth treatment, such as a liquid version of the minoxidil hair regrowth solution, otherwise known as rogaine. With abundant hair loss, the use of dry shampoo is also strictly contraindicated, as this can aggravate the problem.

• Brunettes should buy shampoo with a dark absorbent;
