Rules Of Using A Dry Shampoo - JuvaBun

In the morning you do not have enough time to thoroughly wash, dry, and style your hair? No problem, dry shampoo will always come to the rescue! Dry shampoo is considered a magical hairstyling remedy. Already from the name, it is clear that hair without washing will look freshly washed.

This is an incredibly convenient thing in any situation when there is no way to fully wash your hair. The result is noticeable immediately. The modern dry shampoo is an aerosol that resembles hairspray. It contains plant-based absorbents (rice, corn extracts), which, when applied to the hair, quickly absorb excess oil.

What types of shampoos are there?

There are three types of these shampoos: powder-pressed tile and aerosol.

Dry shampoos in the form of powder and pressed tiles can be found on sale today mainly in various ethnic stores. It is not always convenient to use powder formulations and pressed tiles for dry hair washing: it is difficult to apply the composition evenly, and you also need to comb your hair for a long time, care and protect your clothes, otherwise untidy marks may remain.

The most popular dry shampoos are aerosols. It's essential to know how to use spray dry shampoo. Such shampoos are much more convenient and pleasant to use: the product is evenly distributed and easily removed from the hair, leaving no residue either on the hair or on the clothes.
