FAQ’s

what is dry shampoo?

Dry shampoo, sometimes referred to as hybrid shampoo, can – in addition to cleansing and cleaning the hair, be used as a hair-styling tool due to its ability to create volume.

If you’ve ever got mid-way through your week and had greasy hair before wash night, you know how frustrating this can be. Dry shampoo will be your best friend and help keep your mane fresh in between washes.

what does dry shampoo do?

Greasy hair is the natural response to excess oil and sebum produced on your scalp, and if you’re training your hair to only wash it once a week or simply want to give it a freshen up, this is where dry shampoo will be your savior.

A quick spritz will help absorbs these excess oils, and keep your hair clean between washes by absorbing oil, leaving you with a well-hydrated, freshly washed look. The blessing with this product is there’s no need for water or a blow dryer, simply grab, spray, and go.
