Saving the environment one spray at a time 💁🏼 - by Lauren Williamson

Not only is dry shampoo a saviour to those motivationally challenged in the hair washing department, research has found it can help the environment too.

According to Klorane, replacing one wash per week with an application of dry shampoo can save up to 500 litres of water each year. Yep, by reducing the time spent scrubbing and soaking in the shower, you're helping to conserve precious H20.

So give yourself a pat on the back (and dust off the remnants of your last spritz while you're at it). 

But if you're a fan of the miracle working product, make sure you're using it properly. Here's how. 

1. Never spray too close

Getting to up in your grill with result in stiff, powdery hair. If you don't want to head out of the house with grey roots, spray your dry shampoo 20 centimetres from your hair.

2. Leave it in a little longer

To really breathe new life (and mega-volume) into limp, oily locks, it’s vital to let your dry shampoo sink into your hair before you massage it in. Think longer than 30 seconds – and more like five minutes. Minimum. 

3. Don't use it too often

It can be tempting to rely on a quick spritz instead of a lengthy shampoo sesh but experts say it should on be used in place of one or two washes.
