Dry Shampoo

Dry shampoo is a quick and water-free way to refresh your hair by absorbing excess oil, reviving volume, and extending the time between traditional washes. It's ideal for those with busy schedules, frequent workouts, travel plans, or anyone who wants to avoid overwashing their hair — which can strip the scalp of essential oils and lead to dryness.

At Welzo, we offer a wide selection of dry shampoos tailored for different hair types, colours, and needs — from volumising formulas to sensitive scalp options. It’s one of the most versatile styling and hair care essentials on the market.

What Is Dry Shampoo?

Dry shampoo is typically a powder or spray product that uses absorbent ingredients like rice starch, corn starch, or kaolin clay to soak up oil and odour from the scalp and roots. While it doesn’t clean hair in the same way that shampoo and water do, it makes hair look and feel fresher — adding bounce, texture and volume in seconds.

Many dry shampoos also contain a light fragrance to neutralise any unwanted smells, and some are tinted to blend seamlessly into darker hair tones.

How Does Dry Shampoo Work?

Here’s how it works in just a few steps:

  1. Spray or apply the dry shampoo directly to the roots and oily areas

  2. Wait 30–60 seconds for it to absorb sebum and impurities

  3. Massage it into your scalp to help it disperse evenly

  4. Brush through to remove any visible residue and style as desired

Dry shampoo is especially useful after exercise, during travel, or between heat styling days — keeping your hair looking fresh without washing it too often.

Best Types of Dry Shampoo

Not all dry shampoos are created equal. At Welzo, we stock formulas designed to suit your specific hair needs:

  • Volumising Dry Shampoo – Ideal for fine or limp hair needing lift

  • Tinted Dry Shampoo – Blends into brunette or dark roots without leaving white residue

  • Fragrance-Free Options – Great for sensitive scalps

  • Strengthening or Nourishing Formulas – Enriched with biotin or keratin for added care

  • Sensitive Scalp Formulas – Light and gentle for those with irritation concerns

Popular picks include Batiste, known for its instant results and fresh scents, and Plantur, which combines dry shampoo with caffeine for added scalp support.

Is It Safe to Use Regularly?

Yes — but like any product, moderation is key. Overusing dry shampoo without regular washing can lead to scalp build-up, which may clog follicles and impact hair health. To avoid this:

For long-term hair maintenance, always integrate dry shampoo into a balanced Hair Care routine that includes conditioning and scalp care.
