Change The Way You Wash Your Hair With Dry Shampoo And Leave-In Conditioner

You may not think that you are washing your hair wrong, but over time, shampoo and conditioning products could be causing your hair to become dull and lifeless. Changing the products that you use may help, but instead of switching brands, consider changing to different kinds of shampoo and conditioning products. That is, consider dry shampoos and leave-in conditioners.  

Change the way that you wash and condition your hair with these convenient, must-have products: 

Dry Shampoo

Dry shampoo typically is sprayed into your hair and left on to air dry. Some brands encourage you to brush or finger-comb the product down from the roots, while others indicate that spraying the hair all over is enough. It is always best to opt for a nonaerosol dry shampoo product when possible, as it is much better for the environment. Some of the benefits of using dry shampoo between regular hair washing are: 

• Absorbs the oils and makes hair look fresh 
• Saves time shampooing  
• Neutralizes odors or smells in the hair 
• Increases color and style longevity 
• Maintains healthy hair  
• Adds more body and volume to the hair  
• Enables individuals with disabilities to wash their hair more easily

You should not exclusively use dry shampoo, as you do need a more rigorous shampooing to fully clean the scalp with water periodically. But use dry shampoo intermittently to get these benefits—and have great-looking hair! Reach out to a supplier for more information about products like nonaerosol dry shampoo. 

Leave-In Conditioner

Have you ever used a leave-in hair conditioner? The main complaint with these products comes from those that claim they leave the hair greasy, which is a direct result of using too much. Make sure to read the distinct directions for the product that you use, as they all vary and have different application recommendations.  

Use leave-in conditioners when the hair is damp and focus the product wherever your hair is dry, like your ends. The result is soft, luscious hair that you want to run your fingers through! Plus, these lightweight products make excellent detanglers as they hydrate and nourish each strand. Leave-in conditioners make it easier to brush, comb, and style hair, too.    

Many consumers use leave-in conditioning products as a protective barrier against environmental toxins and pollutants that can impact hair health. 

Consider augmenting your usual shampoo and conditioning routine with these products. They not only save you time on a busy day, but they also provide some perks that make them worthwhile in your bathroom!
