How to Fix a Dry Shampoo Nozzle

You can often fix a clogged dry shampoo nozzle by using Vaseline and a Q-Tip to clear the blockage.

Clearing a Clogged Dry Shampoo Nozzle

A common issue preventing your dry shampoo from spraying correctly is a buildup of product in the nozzle. This blockage can be effectively addressed with a simple method involving Vaseline.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to clear the nozzle using this technique:

  1. Prepare the Q-Tip: Take a Q-Tip and swipe it in some Vaseline to coat one end lightly.
  2. Remove Excess: Gently tissue off any excess Vaseline from the Q-Tip to avoid applying too much.
  3. Insert and Work: Carefully insert the Vaseline-coated end of the Q-Tip inside the nozzle hole. Work it in there a little, rotating or gently pushing it to help loosen the dry shampoo residue.
  4. Clean Out: Use the clean, dry end of the Q-Tip to clean the nozzle out, removing the dislodged particles and any Vaseline residue from the opening.

This method leverages the properties of petrolatum (Vaseline) to effectively tackle the clog. As described, "The slipperiness of the petrolatum works like a charm!" helping to break down and remove the dry powder accumulation blocking the spray.

By following these steps, you can often restore the proper function of your dry shampoo nozzle.
