Dry shampoo: Some women swear by it, others can’t figure it out. But according to hairstylist Teddi Cranford, who regularly turns to hair powder on editorial shoots and at her salon, White Rose Collective, a good grease-cutting spray or powder can work for all colors and textures, with a little know-how. Here, she breaks down five ways to make dry shampoo work for you.
Choose an Aerosol Can for Fine Hair
“For fine hair, aerosol dry shampoos are a great way to plump and thicken. I find the drugstore versions you can buy are good at absorbing oil and keeping the hair soft. Psssst! and Klorane are two good options for the woman who wants to stretch out her blowout. Go section by section and spray from roots to mid-shaft. Then put a Mason Pearson brush through it, or a quick little blow-dry, then be on your way.”
Powder Up for Thick, Oily Hair
“With coarser or oilier hair, you’re going to need something drier and more concentrated, like Bumble and Bumble’s Prêt-à-Powder. Loose powder tends to be drier, since it’s not coming out of a can. If you have oilier hair and feel the aerosol powder isn’t absorbing, try one from a bottle that might absorb better.”
Don’t Spray Too Close
“Six inches from the head is a good rule to follow for aerosols. Otherwise, you’re going to spray it in a concentrated area and it’s just going to get wet, not be evenly distributed.”
Post-Workout Tips
“After a workout, use something a bit heavier like Bumble and Bumble’s Prêt-à-Powder. It’s super-dry and doesn’t come from an aerosol can—it’s straight-up powder going on your root. A looser powder is good for absorbing sweat from a workout, if you’re in a pinch. I would go section by section and apply at the root, or on areas that are really oily, then take your blow-dryer and Mason Pearson and go roughly around the hairline, just to fan it out so it’s not concentrated powder on your hair. You can also tip your head to each side and shake it out with your fingers.”
How to Get Lived-In Texture
“Go with either a dry texturizing spray or a dry shampoo with a bit of grit to give you that lived-in, sexy, lifted hair. After you’ve curled it, blown it out, done your whole thing, it’s a good way to pump it all up and not have it fall flat. Sachajuan’s hair powder is amazing for making fine hair look fuller and giving you that airy, gritty texture. Put the product at the roots, then shake it out with your fingers. With an aerosol, you can mist a bit on the ends, too.”
