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

"If you’ve ever thought dry shampoo just doesn’t work for you… There’s a chance you’re doing it wrong. No shade. Just facts." Welcome to the no-fluff, step-by-step guide to getting the most out of your dry shampoo. From wash day to day 7, here’s how to make it actually work for you, chaotic schedule and all. Step 1: Wash Day (Like, Actually Wash) Detox, cleanse, shampoo, whatever your method is, start there. And yep, you need to shampoo twice. If you don’t wash your hair often (I go 7 days with zero shame), you’ve got more crusties and critters in there than you'd think. So hop to it.  Step 2: Condition Only Where It Matters  Apply conditioner from mid-strand to ends, NOT your scalp. We don’t need to give it any more reasons to get oily. 🤦 Step 3: Detangle While It’s Wet While the conditioner’s in, grab a wide-tooth comb or a soft brush (I swear by the Ergo mini paddle) and gently brush through your mid-lengths and ends. Why? So when you’re out of the shower, all you have to do is gently squeeze out the water, not rip through tangles like you're being timed. Step 4: Towel, Please Wrap it up and wait. You want your hair about 80% dry before touching it with heat or product. Why? Because most styling products are water-based. If your hair’s still soaking, you’re just diluting them. Plus, why blow dry longer than you have to? Let that hair air out while you’re doing your skincare routine, brushing your teeth, putting on lotion, time management, baby. Step 5: Blow Dry Like a Boss Now that you’re 80% dry and product-ed up (with a volumizer, smoother, or whatever your thing is), grab your paddle brush and blow dryer. Flip your head over or to the side. Work from the root to the ends. Keep going ‘til it’s 100% dry. No half-damp roots here. Step 6: Enter Dry Shampoo (Before It Gets Greasy) Dry shampoo goes in when your hair is clean, not as a last resort. We’re staying ahead of the oil, not chasing it. Start above your ears and section your way up to your part—but don’t apply directly on your part. Go just underneath (¼ to ½ inch). Repeat on the other side, then section from the nape of your neck up to the crown. Brush it through. Massage it in. Or do both. Why not on the part? Because nobody wants to deal with a dry shampoo glob to the face. Step 7: Ride the Good Hair Day Wave That’s it. You’re set. Here’s how I usually roll: Day 1–2: Straight or natural. Day 3–4: Wave or curl your hair. Day 5–6: Messy bun or claw clip chic. Each day: Add more dry shampoo, maybe a little spray wax, texture spray, heat protectant, whatever feels right. Restyle as needed. And yes, always more dry shampoo, even just around the hairline. Your hair’s different from mine, and everyone else's. Do what works for you. If you’re still figuring it out, send me a message. Or throw it in a messy bun. Or rock a hat. We love options. I’m cheering for you and your good ass hair days. 💛

OG vs. DK: Choosing the Right Dry Shampoo for Your Hair

If only it were a simple, straightforward answer. Which it could be, but I have a few things to say first! When GAHD was launched, we offered the OG, which is scented with vanilla, and we ran with it. 300 bottles gone in the first 3 days!  The feedback was amazing and our people were raving… even those with BLACK hair! Wow! A white powdered dry shampoo that humans with dark hair were loving. I really and truly would not fib about this. I was so happy to hear it! Six months went by, and we started to get some people who wanted something tinted, so I started formulating.  Got it!  Launched it,  Faaack, people are saying it smells! (It was the cacao).  Pull it! Back to formulating…it took me months, but I was finally happy with it, and that is the dark formula we have today.  This all goes to say that you can't really go wrong in choosing which one is right for you. Maybe your hair is in the middle between blonde and brunette, but you don't like the smell of vanilla, so get dark! Perhaps vanilla is your favorite scent, but your hair is on the darker side. Get the OG!  Then refer to my many videos(& blog posts) about application! It's the most important thing about using dry shampoo, HANDS DOWN!  Don't be complaining about a white cast if you're applying like a wild animal.  Questions, comments, concerns…reach out!

Pump Problems? Here's How to Fix a Stuck Dry Shampoo Dispenser
