How do you use a dry shampoo brush?

Published in Hair Care 2 mins read

After applying dry shampoo, use a dry shampoo brush to massage and evenly distribute the product through your scalp, then remove any excess powder.

Here's a breakdown of how to effectively use a dry shampoo brush:

Steps for Using a Dry Shampoo Brush

  1. Apply Dry Shampoo: Start by applying your dry shampoo to the roots of your hair, focusing on oily areas. Hold the can several inches away and use short bursts.
  2. Let it Sit: Allow the dry shampoo to sit for at least 30 seconds, and up to a few minutes. This gives it time to absorb the oil and dirt.
  3. Massage with a Brush: Instead of using your hands, grab your dry shampoo brush. Using gentle, circular motions, massage the dry shampoo into your scalp. This will help to evenly distribute the product and lift away any residue. A paddle brush or a brush with soft, dense bristles works well.
  4. Brush Through: Once you've massaged the product into your scalp, use the brush to gently brush through the rest of your hair to distribute any remaining dry shampoo and further absorb oil.
  5. Remove Excess: Use the brush to remove any visible white residue. You can also use a blow dryer on a cool setting or a diffuser to blow away excess powder.

Types of Brushes for Dry Shampoo Application

While any clean brush can help distribute the product, some are better suited for the task:

  • Paddle Brush: Good for overall distribution and smoothing.
  • Bristle Brush: Can help remove excess powder and add shine.
  • Specialized Dry Shampoo Brush: Some brands offer brushes specifically designed for dry shampoo application. These often have dense, soft bristles designed to gently massage the scalp and distribute the product evenly.

By following these steps, you can effectively use a dry shampoo brush to refresh your hair and extend the time between washes.
