Can I Style My Hair After Dry Shampoo?

Published in Hair styling 2 mins read

Yes, you can absolutely style your hair after using dry shampoo.

How to Style After Dry Shampoo

After applying dry shampoo, you should allow it to sit for at least 30 seconds. This allows the dry shampoo to effectively absorb the oil from your scalp.

Here's a step-by-step guide:

  1. Apply Dry Shampoo: Spray or apply dry shampoo to your roots, focusing on the oiliest areas.
  2. Wait: Let the dry shampoo sit for at least 30 seconds.
  3. Massage: Use your hands or a paddle brush to massage the dry shampoo into your scalp. This will disperse it and remove any excess powder.
  4. Remove Excess: If you have a lot of excess powder, you can use a blow dryer on a cool setting or a diffuser to remove it.
  5. Style: Now you can style your hair as desired.

Styling Options After Dry Shampoo

You can use various styling techniques after applying dry shampoo, such as:

  • Curling or Straightening: Use a curling iron or straightener to style your hair.
  • Braids or Updos: Create braids, ponytails, buns, or other updos.
  • Adding Volume: Dry shampoo can actually provide extra volume at the roots, making it easier to create styles that require lift.
  • Refreshing Styles: After a workout, or between washes, use dry shampoo to freshen up your style.
  • Texture: Use dry shampoo to add some texture for messy or beachy looks.

Things to Consider When Styling

  • Product Build-Up: Be aware of product build-up if you frequently use dry shampoo, which may mean you should wash your hair more regularly.
  • Dryness: Overuse of dry shampoo can sometimes lead to dryness, so use it in moderation.

Dry shampoo can be a great way to refresh and style your hair between washes. According to our reference, after you have let the dry shampoo sit for 30 seconds, you can "style as desired".
