How to Apply Powder Dry Shampoo 

Wow you can really see the difference in your hair from that product. Need that in my life.

I never would have thought of a powder puff! Thank you so much! I've been struggling with dry/powder shampoo.

wow this is so helpful Im asian so i have black hair too and so its really flat and gets greasy and oily very quick so thank u so much for this vid!

I'm a science gal and the theory goes like this: Wet hair is weakest because hydrogen in water molecules breaks hair protein bonds. This is why hair flattens and stretches when it's wet. If it must be combed wet, start from the tips and work out tangles upwards to the scalp (not the other way around) since broken bonds at the scalp eventually travel chemically to the tips where they split the ends. Stretched hair protein is more susceptible to electrically charged dry air leading to fly-aways. Dry shampoo keeps hair stronger and thicker longer and doesn't degrade color or perms as quickly. Dry shampoo doesn't replace wet shampoo, but supplements it during the week. It may help to drape your brush in cheesecloth to help comb out product more thoroughly and keep your brush product free. Then toss the cloth and applicator puff in the laundry.

Thank you so much for posting this! I've found a lot of recipes for making homemade dry shampoo, but none describe how to apply it. I recently cut my hair short, and it's noticeably greasier. Can't wait to try this!

I'm so glad this was helpful! :) I really like the Principessa dry shampoo but it's only the 2nd one I've tried. The only other one I've tried was the Tresemme spray but it didn't work very well on my hair. I much prefer the Principessa because I find it longer lasting (really soaks up the grease) and it also smells A LOT better. :)

oh wow, i never thought to make my own dry shampoo! thank you for subscribing!! :)

the ends are shiny, not greasy hehe. :) i used to wash my hair every day but it got really limp and full of static... the ends would be super dry but my roots would get extremely greasy throughout the day as my head was overproducing oils. ever since i changed to washing it 3 times a week, i think my hair looks and feels so much better. all personal preference but i appreciate your feedback! :)

oh yes, definitely a huge difference!! :)

Really good idea! I use dry shampoo too and I put the smallest amount in my palm and kinda dump it where I need it as many times as I need then brush my hair in all directions to even it out but this is so much better! I believe I have a puffy brush I could use actually.

i'm going to give that a try when i finish my products! thanks!! :)

fyi for some of the questions below etsy(im a shopper not a shop owner) make organic dry shampoo,in sooo many scents and colors.and these days u can pic up a cheap fluffy brush for 1-3.00 ,amazon elf etc.

I've been thinking about chemistry principles behind dry shampoo and wondered if it's necessary to use hair product at all. As an experiment, I put baking soda in a dish liquid squeeze bottle so it comes out in a puff cloud - not powder clumps - at the roots and base of scalp and then finger combed it through my roots before brushing. It didn't seem to help much at first and I thought it failed experiment but a few minutes later, I ran my fingers through my hair and the greasy look and feel were gone! To smooth and restore shine, I used a damp brush to finish altho it wasn't really necessary. Water made any surface soda dissolve, and since it's water soluble it was easier to rinse out of my brush, probably freshening that as well. I wondered if dry shampoo actually removes oil at all, but instead just water and sweat that's mixed with hair oils. Does dry product chemically interact with moisture and that's what frees hair to give it that fluffy loft? I'm not sure. But if baking soda can replace purchased product, reduce laundry, freshen a brush, deodorize hair, doesn't get gummy and rinses out clear, it's probably worth trying. If you or your comment-ers try this, let me know your results!

this is GREAT! I know a lot of girls who could benefit from this! Thank you! What are your thoughts about the Principessa dry shampoo? I usually use a spray.

thanks for watching!! it took me around a week or two to get used to not washing my hair every day... it was brutal at the beginning as my hair felt so disgusting (even with dry shampoo). it does get better though and while my hair still gets greasy at the roots, it is much less than before. let me know how it goes!! :)

This is really helpful. Thank you for sharing this method.

Cool and thank you :) I subbed to you, keep up the great videos! :D

You're welcome :) and yeah it's just corn starch baking powder and cocoa powder :) (if your blonde don't add the cocoa powder!

@Mel Claire i'm glad the video helped!! :)

Subscribing :) thanks for the tips, because I made my own dry shampoo

i bought it from the glymm boutique but principessa is no longer available. :( instead, there is the cake dry shampoo - but i haven't tried it so not sure if it's worth the money. you can also order it directly from principessa beauty but the shipping is $10 unless you order $75+.

thanks for posting this!

What was the dry shampoo you are using? I couldn't find it online. Thanks for the help!

yes i am! love your user name, by the way! :)

where'd you get your dry shampoo? :)

So helpful!

I was interested in dry shampoo but i never thought that it would not contain soap....... so now i am wondering what im supposed to do. Being a guy my hair is soaked with grease in the morning just because i get really warm when i sleep. So the idea of wiping powder on to my hair to absorb all the grease just seems like not the thing for me. I feel like the smell would be hard to get rid of/ mask

Hi my hair is very damaged because of bleaching so using this dry shampoo will not affect it in any way right? Since I do apply coconut oil and leave in conditioner throughout the day. Or would you recommend only applying this dry shampoo by itself?

thank you for watching and for your lovely comment! :)

Thanks for that but I think it's a lot easier and better to just shower. Cuz it still look greasy specially the mid and the end of your hair.

great! neat! thanks!,

Omg! I think this is not good !

Are you Canadian? :)
