Dry shampoo is kind of like the fairy dust of every fitness-lover’s beauty world. Even after a workout leaves you essentially dripping and gasping for air, a few carefully angled spritzes of the stuff can restore your volume, refresh oil-streaked strands, and (#yasss) give you an excuse to put off your next wash for yet another day. But if you only apply this bottled magic after a hot yoga sesh, you’re totally missing out on one strands-boosting hack that’s sure to save you tons of time in the a.m.
“Using dry shampoo at night before bed is a great way to prevent the oils from weighing your hair down.” — Emily Alders, stylist
According to Pureology stylist Emily Alders, treating your mane with dry shampoo before setting your head on your silk pillowcase to catch some zzz’s is basically *the* formula for waking up with luscious locks. “Using dry shampoo at night before bed is a great way to prevent the oils from weighing your hair down,” says Alders. After your nightly cleansing and moisturizing ritual, just spray on your go-to post-sweat product “at the root and then use a soft-bristle brush, shaking hair out so it lays above your head in bed,” she advises. The next day, you’ll awake to effortless-looking bouncy tresses that are ready to be worn loose or styled as desired.
Looking for a little extra volume, or just want to rid you hair of any residual grease? In that case, Alders says a second coat in the morning should do the trick. Day two (or three, or four) hair never looked so good.
