Dry shampoo is a hair product that is known to reduce greasy and dirt in your hair. Dry shampoo can be applied while your hair is dry, hence the name. The advantage of using dry shampoo is that it does not need washing. If you have been wondering how to use dry shampoo, worry no more. Here is how dry shampoo works and the benefits of using dry shampoo.

How does it work?

Your scalp produces sebum, a natural moisturiser for your scalp and hair. But, during intense activity like walking long hours outdoors or workout, your body tends to produce extra sebum. And that gets collected in your hair and gives your hair greasy appearance. Excess oil is not good for health. Dry Shampoo has starch-based ingredients that help to soak that extra oil that has been lathering your scalp. They also have a fragrance that helps your hair smell good.
