Usage & Storage

Sprinkle or brush a small amount of dry shampoo onto your roots and gently massage it in with your fingertips or a soft brush to absorb oil and add lift. Focus on areas that tend to get oily more quickly, such as the crown and hairline. Allow a minute before brushing through to evenly distribute the powder and add volume. Use sparingly on dark hair to prevent visible residue, and follow with your favorite styling ritual for a polished finish.

Store in a cool, dry place away from humidity and direct sunlight. Keep lid tightly closed between uses to maintain freshness and prevent clumping. This formulation contains natural botanical ingredients, which may cause allergic or sensitization reactions in some individuals. We recommend performing a patch test before first use. If irritation occurs, discontinue use. For external use only.
