Where should dry shampoo be applied?

• A. Directly onto the scalp
• B. Directly onto the hair
• C. Onto the hairline
• D. On damp hair

Answer: (B)

Dry shampoo is meant to refresh hair by absorbing excess oil without using water. For it to work, you want the product to contact the hair at the roots where oil tends to build up, so applying it directly to the hair ensures the powder sits where it can do the most good and can be brushed through for even distribution. This method helps reduce shine and leaves the hair looking and feeling dry and refreshed without leaving a heavy residue on the skin. Applying on damp hair prevents the powder from absorbing oil effectively and can lead to clumping, while applying on the scalp or along the hairline often results in visible residue or irritation.
