Well there are few points which you should keep in mind while using Dry Shampoo and specially  for beginners 

    Don’t use  too much dry shampoo on your scalp as it can leave a chalky white residue behind and  Massage it into your scalp properly for better results.

    Applying an adequate quantity of dry shampoo works well on greasy hair to give it a bright and fresh look. But too much dry shampoo can discolor your hair and make it appear dry. Therefore, you need to figure out the right amount of dry shampoo to use to maintain your hair health.

    Since the oil from your scalp is distributed differently all over your hair, the application of dry shampoo throughout your locks can turn certain areas of your hair brittle and lifeless. So, use the dry shampoo only wherever it is required.

    Avoid using dry shampoo on a daily basis as it leads to the accumulation of excess oil on the scalp, resulting in dandruff and other scalp issues.

For starters, dry shampoo isn’t actually shampoo – it just sounds that way. Shampoo removes dirt, odors, dead skin cells and other build up from hair. And let’s be honest, hair looks amazing after a wash. Shampooing essentially exfoliates your scalp and works to remove all of that build up. Dry shampoo is a chalky powder that absorbs oil and then lingers on your scalp. While it works nicely at extending a wash by a day or two or lifting roots, eventually it can start to weight hair down, change root color and dull the look of your hair. There’s a fine balance to be struck. Remember, your scalp isn’t actually clean anymore; it’s just wearing a crusty, second-hand costume.

Caution :

It can actually be bad for certain scalp conditions too, so if you notice an itchy or flaky scalp, speak to your dermatologist to ensure you’re not exacerbating an issue. Ideally, use it to extend your wash by a day or two at most, but then, it’s time to hit the shampoo. Take good care of your hair with a quality shampoo and conditioner that suits the needs of your hair.

I’ve now moved to washing my hair every fourth day, using dry shampoo on day three and four if needed, and I may move down to every three days. My goal is to find a healthy balance between my scalp’s needs and my hair’s needs.

Well its completely natural but still I would like to say before trying to use for your complete hair just make sure to test before in small party of your hair just to assure there is perfect for you as every one have different sclap tpye

when you use dry shampoo try to add hair rinse as i already share blog for apple cider vinegar Hair Rinse Recipe you can check out and use this whenever you wash your hair .

I hope these recipes can be game changers for you like they were for me. I wish you good luck, and good hair days!
