What is "dry shampoo"? Introducing recommended products and how to use them.

I have a vague idea that “dry shampoo” items seen on SNS and in commercials have become a hot topic, but surprisingly few people actually know what they are. This time, we focus on “dry shampoo” and introduce its usage, types, and recommended products!

What is Dry Shampoo?

Dry shampoo is a shampoo that cleanses the scalp without using water. It is attractive because it can keep hair and scalp clean even when it is not possible to take a bath, and is useful in outdoor situations such as mountain climbing and camping, when it is not possible to take a shower immediately after sports, or when hospitalized due to injury or illness. They are also useful when water is cut off due to natural disasters, and have come to attract attention as disaster prevention goods. Since there is no need to worry about being unprepared in any situation, why not take this opportunity to check out dry shampoo?

Finding Dry Shampoo

Using dry shampoo is quite simple!

For those who have never used dry shampoo before, you may be wondering how to use it, but it is quite simple. Simply apply it evenly to your hair, rub it into your hair and scalp, and then wipe with a dry towel. If you have access to hot or cold water, you can wet the towel and wipe it or rinse it off directly. If you want to remove more dirt, it is effective to brush the scalp before using dry shampoo.

What are the disadvantages of dry shampoo?

There are no major disadvantages to using dry shampoo, but if anything, it is not suitable for daily use. Although dry shampoo can be used to wash hair, its cleaning ingredients are weaker than those of shampoo that can be rinsed off, and it is almost impossible to completely remove sebum. However, in dry seasons such as winter, itching and odor can be overcome with dry shampoo alone for 3~5 days. In summer, sebum and sweat are secreted excessively, so it is a good idea to shampoo the hair after using dry shampoo, if possible.

There are three main types of dry shampoo!

There are several types of dry shampoos, each with a different feel. Therefore, it is a good idea to first understand the different types of dry shampoos in order to choose the one that is best suited for you.

Dry shampoo type 1: “Spray type

The most orthodox type of dry shampoo is the spray type. In addition to being applied directly to the scalp for a refreshing sensation, many have a strong fragrance, making them ideal for covering up odors. However, many products are high in ethanol, making them unsuitable for those who do not like alcohol, have a tendency to have a dry scalp, or are prone to skin irritation.

Dry shampoo type (2) “Powder type

Powder type products are said to be highly effective in keeping the scalp dry. This type is also suitable for storing and carrying around, and is therefore useful as a stockpile for disasters. The key point is that the amount used can be controlled by the user, but a mistake can cause hair to turn white. It is also said to clog pores if not wiped off completely, so care must be taken.

Dry Shampoo Type (3) “Sheet Type

The sheet type is attractive because it can be used like a sweat wipe to care for the scalp and hair. Needless to say, they are excellent for carrying around, and since there is no need to worry about powder residue as with powder, they are easy to use on the go without hesitation. There is nothing difficult about using this type, but depending on how sticky your hair and scalp are and the area to be wiped, one sheet may not be enough.
