GliClassic dry shampoos are composed of a white powder , but there are also colored ones , especially for those with dark hair , on which the standard version is always likely to be seen more. If the white powder is camouflaged on light hair, in fact, on black or very dark ones it gives a slightly grayish effect. Therefore, dry brown shampoos can be used , also useful in the case of a few millimeters of white regrowth, to camouflage it, but there are also versions for light brown, red and black shades.
Dry shampoo is also useful for example after sports sessionsintense, so as not to constantly wash the hair that would weaken and damage or when you are sick and it is better to avoid wetting the hair. But, another useful effect of dry shampoo is the volumizing one : by absorbing the sebum, which flattens the hair, and massaging the powder that sticks to the base of the hair, these will appear more lifted and therefore voluminous . It is a product that is so indispensable for those who have very fine hair or for those who do not have many , but at the same time it is also a valid ally for creating hairstyles .. Those with fine or very straight hair, in fact, often complain of a lack of hold because the hair tends to slip. In this case, the dry shampoo works as a “grip”, making them a little more rough and full-bodied , so that it is easier to create hairstyles and make them last longer. A bit like backcombing your hair, but without having to untangle it and without ruining it.

If you use dry shampoo , however, remember that it is not a substitute for the classic wash and consequently it cannot be stratified. You can use it once, maximum twice before shampooing, without abusing it, otherwise you risk occluding the folliclesof the scalp and to make the dreaded dandruff appear . In addition to this, it is common for the head to itch, precisely because not only has it not actually been cleansed, but the product has accumulated and settled on the skin. And, even the eye wants its part, even if it uses little, by stratifying it, the whitish and dusty patina will be visible and the hair will no longer look as if it had just been washed.
