Or your curls are starting to look limp at the root from oil.
Or you oughta jet straight from a yoga class to an errand, no time to hit the shower.
The often-used go-to product for any of these is some version of a dry shampoo.
But dry shampoos are actually part of a larger, somewhat loosely defined, category of no-rinse shampoos.
So what does this hair care category include and what should you know before using?
Don’t worry, we did the research for you.
What are no-rinse shampoos, and what are the kinds?
No-rinse shampoos are pretty much as the name suggests: shampoos you do not rinse out of your hair.
These do not clean your scalp or hair in the same way that a proper shower might.
So, what are the types?
A quick rundown:
Con: Not a deep clean, and many will cause buildup.
Pro: Convenience.
(It happens!)
Con: Many will cause scalp inflammation.
The general rule of thumb is for every two dry shampoo uses, you should shampoo.
Or look for any of the signs ofscalp inflammation, as we explain here.
Pro: A great tool for those with shower limitations.
And because they have pH balance properties, they can help manage any scalp inflammation.
The takeaway.
Others use them because of simple necessity.
