You’ve been using your dry shampoo all wrong – savvy beauty whizz claims it’s all about when you put it and not how much
A SAVVY beauty pro has revealed the right way to use dry shampoo – and turns out, we’ve been doing it all wrong.
If you’re like most people, including the team at Fabulous, chances are you reach for dry shampoo when your locks are already greasy.
However, as one whizz, Bambi, recently explained on TikTok, this is why your hair may be looking less fresh not long after, no matter how much of the product you’re using.
Another key element to remember, she told beauty fans in a video, was also ditching your regular spray dry shampoo to a powder version.
”For my fellow greasy haired gals, use a powder dry shampoo on day 1 hair – not like your aerosol, like spray dry shampoo.
”You want a proper heavy duty powder dry shampoo.”
Raving about the hair staple in the clip, Bambi told how it’s been ”the biggest game-changer” in her routine that’s made all the difference.
”My hair would get greasy like seven hours after washing it.”
What’s more, the blonde stunner, who regularly shares skincare-related tips on her platform, added the powder also gives her hair an instant volumizing effect.
”Thank me later,” she chuckled.
On the lookout for your new favourite powder dry shampoo? The market is full of them, with seemingly never-ending options perfect for every budget.
If you’re headed to the high street this weekend, make sure to pop into Lush – their No Drought dry shampoo sells for £8 and it’s also fully-vegan.
Meanwhile, Natural Dry Shampoo Powder by Battle Green is currently selling for £7.95 and comes in a range of fabulous scents, such as cocoa and vanilla, as well as mint and tea tree.
Online retailer giant Amazon, too, has a number of great picks, including SHVYOG Dry Shampoo Powder that’s under £8.
This mini bottle has received dozens of positive ratings from delighted customers, with many raving about the refreshing scent.
”This smells really gorgeous, it has a lovely clean citrus fragrance,” one said.
”This would be a godsend if you were running late, and didn’t have time to to your hair. Also perfect for travelling or festivals.”
Someone else warned: ”I did try it once when my hair wasn’t that oily, I wouldn’t recommend using it in that state, just made my hair feel like straw, so don’t use too much.”
Fellow social media users raced to comments, where they shared their thoughts and top alternatives if you want to slash the costs.
”I literally use talc powder,” penned one.
”Cornflour/cornstarch also works if you’re in a pinch and super cheap! And healthy for you!” another chimed in.
”Don’t need to buy a fancy one! You can literally just use arrow root powder it’s so cheap,” a third added.
