Dry shampoo is not some brilliant, new, life changer – It has been around since distinguished gentlemen began powdering their wigs. It’s also having a huge resurgence in popularity, and, if we break it down, practicality.
The oxymoron is now a staple in most ladies hair-drobes (my new term for hair wardrobe – an arsenal of products for a perfect head of hair). Dare I say this little product has brought down monthly water bills due to less time spent shampooing and has saved countless hours of blow drying and heat styling in turn. Still, most guys are wondering: what the heck is a Dry Shampoo, anyway?
Dry Shampoo’s main ingredient takes on a powdered form, be it talc, silica or a starch. Designed to work sans water, you can find Dry Shampoo’s in either loose powder form or in an aerosol spray. Sprinkled or sprayed onto the roots, the “shampoo” absorb excess oil and dirt and can be blotted or brushed out to give the hair a refreshed look and smell. A great option for any time strapped, busy bee, gym member, total scheduler who needs every spare minute they can find.
Women love it and guys are actually starting to jump on the Dry Shampoo bandwagon. After all, adding this product into your current grooming routine can save you some serious time.
