Dry shampoo gently cleanses and refreshes greasy, oily hair without water. It works to absorb excess oil and odour at the roots to leave hair feeling fresher, cleaner and more voluminous between washes.
Shake your dry shampoo before use and spray the product about eight to 10 inches away from your scalp. Massage and tousle with your fingers or brush through to evenly distribute the product and remove any excess residue.

No, dry shampoo isn’t bad for your hair, particularly scalp-friendly formulas like those from K18 and Living Proof. While it shouldn’t completely replace washing your hair, you can go longer without shampooing by using your dry shampoo once or twice a week. Using it alongside regular cleansing will help keep your scalp balanced and free from buildup.
If you’re washing your hair with your shampoo and conditioner regularly enough, you don’t need to worry about dry shampoo causing hair loss. However, overusing dry shampoo without removing it from your scalp, could clog your hair follicles which can lead to hair shedding. If you’re worried about this, introducing a clarifying shampoo like the K18 PEPTIDE PREP detox shampoo, is great way to deep clean your hair and remove buildup of dirt, sebum and product.
