Dry Shampoo vs. Traditional Shampoo
We all know we need to keep our hair clean, but maybe you don’t know what the best ways to wash our hair are! With so many products available, these is so one size fits all solution, and you have to experiment with products that work with your particular hair texture or style. With so many products on the shelf it can seem overwhelming to find the right kind of shampoo for both your hair style preferences and your hair type. So, we’re here to help you explore dry shampoo and traditional shampoo to create the ideal hair cleaning routine.
Dry Shampoo
Once dry shampoos hit the shelves, they were instantly popular for the convenience and freedom they added to daily hair care routines. Able to cleanse the hair of excess oil and dirt without needing water, dry shampoos are great for those days between full washings in the shower - days when hair needs a little pick me up. Though dry shampoo offers many benefits for maintaining second-day hairstyles, there can be draw backs to using the product if hair isn’t thoroughly washed with normal cleansers on a regular basis, including scalp itchiness or dryness as well as dandruff, flakiness, and inconsistent textures.
Traditional Liquid Shampoos
We're all familiar with the use of
liquid shampoos
in the shower. They’re great at cleaning buildup out of hair and off the scalp and are an important first step in most hair care routines. However, traditional shampoos can be stripping if used too often or if the specific shampoo formula is too harsh for your hair type. The use of liquid soap also exposes your hair to hot water, which can be drying, especially in winter. Plus, it’s time-consuming - requiring wetting, washing, rinsing, and drying.
Can you use Traditional and Dry Shampoos Together?
So, as it turns out, using both types of shampoo is actually the best way to clean and maintain your hair. Start with regular shampooing in the shower (frequency based on your specific hair type) supplemented by the use of dry shampoo between washes. This ensures you get the best of both shampoo types for good hair days every day.
