The wrong dry shampoo

We love a quick fix — but sometimes the shortcut costs more than we think.

Dry shampoo can save your style, but overuse can mean clogged follicles, breakage, dullness, and even shedding.

I learned the hard way after my rose gold era — my scalp was begging for mercy 😅 I picked up whatever bottle caught my attention whilst strolling through Homegoods.

I had the right intentions: save my fun hair color! It was my first time using dry shampoo. I didn’t know any better. My scalp suffered for it.

🌸 Tip: learn about what you are using! I found better products for my scalp and hair (unfortunately after the damage was done… better late than never)

💬 Have you noticed changes in your hair from dry shampoo use? Let’s talk about it.
