The Quick (and Clean) Guide to Dry Shampooing Like a Pro

Quick and Dirty err should i say Clean version of Dry Shampooing your hair starting with:

Wash Day! Detox,cleanse or shampoo…whatever you’ve got. Shampoo a second time. If you don't wash your hair often(I go 7 days with 0 shame in my game) there are more crusties and critters in there than one would think so hop to it! 

Now that your hair is clean as a whistle, condition- mids and ends ONLY! We don't need to give our scalp a reason to be any oilier by putting a slippery product at our root (i wanted to add the emoji here lol) While that conditioner is in, grab your wide tooth comb or soft bristled brush(Ergo’s super gentle mini iconic paddle brush) and gently comb through your mids and ends. Why?? So when you get out of the shower all you have to do is squeeze the water out of your hair and not rip through it to get the tangles out…i see you! 

Whip that mop up in a towel, we want 80% dry before we touch it with styling products or a blow dryer. Why?? Most products' first ingredient is water, if we are adding it to more water we’re just diluting it and not getting the benefits. Why blow dry longer than you need to? Let that sh*t dry out while you’re putting lotion on and doing your skincare routine, we’re using our precious time wisely! 

Hair is 80% dry, you've added your volumizing or smoothing products and are ready to rock. Tip your head all the way over or to the side. Working from root to end with a paddle brush in one hand a your blow dryer(my Ergo recommendation) in the other. Tip to the other side if needed* Keep at it until your hair is 100% dry! How did it go? This is making me think about having to write directions in 3rd grade on how to make a PB&J!lol Did you succeed!? I sure hope so! 

Okuuur, hair is dry…youre almost done! Add dry shampoo! Why?? We are beating the grease rather than having to make up for it my friends, trust me! Starting top of ear work in horizontal sections up to your part BUT NOT ON IT! Then do the same thing on the other side. From the nape of your neck to the crown of your head, horizontal sections. Brush through, massage in or both! Why not apply directly to your part? I don't enjoy setting myself up for failure and don't want you to either. Put dry shampoo ¼-½ inch underneath it so you don't end up with a glob(it happens!)That is a full dry shampoo application to assure that you don't have any spots that are going to end up greasy! 

Typically I wear my hair like this for 1-2 because it's flat and fine(uggh) but on day 2-3 I use a wave iron or curl it, add more dry shampoo/hair spray/heat protectant/spray wax etc. Then I'm set for the next 4-5 days! Doing a bit of restyling each day(alwayss more dry shampoo even if it's just at my hairline).

Your hair is different from mine and most other humans depending on your habits. Do what works for you! Send me a message if you're struggling, throw it up in a messy bun or slap a hat on! I’m cheering for you and your good ass hair days!
