You’re applying your dry shampoo wrong – the right way will remove all grease from your hair
WE’VE all heard the claim that it’s never good to wash your hair too much.
It can lead to dry ends, a scalp that greases too quickly, and brittle, lackluster tresses.
In lieu of washing our hair, many of us turn to dry shampoo for a quick fix.
One woman on TikTok—a professional hairstylist who goes by @StyledByGraceVictoria—said that most of us are applying our dry shampoo incorrectly.
In order to take advantage of the benefits of this product, Grace Victoria said we should actually be applying it at night before we get in bed.
This will allow our mane to absorb all the nutrients and ingredients.
And although many of us are trained to rub it into our roots as soon as we spray it, the hair expert said to wait. Don’t rub it in until the morning.
While some users looked forward to testing the hack, others claimed it’s not the best way:

“Please sleep with your hair tied if you’re going to apply dry shampoo [before bed] because you WILL break our even more than just greasy hair touching your face,” one wrote.
“It also just adds more product and buildup to your hair. So it don’t work,” added another.
As for more ways to keep your locks looking luscious, another woman on TikTok named Georgia Bran revealed a huge mistake people make that stunts their hair growth: overbrushing.
She suggested only brushing three to four times today.
In the clip, she began: “Keep [your hair] in a protective hairstyle, especially during the night.”
Georgia told commenters that she only brushes her hair one to two times a day, before adding that this advice is predominantly meant for people with straight hair like her own.
“Wavy hair [people], brush your hair just when it’s tangled,” she instructed.
The TikToker also wrote that it’s “really important to be gentle while you are handling your hair” to prevent damage.
As for what a “protective hairstyle” means, Georgia recommended applying a hydrating leave-in conditioner or argan oil to the ends.
