Be forewarned, it could be drying on your hair.
However, it can leave a bit of residue.

Just shake the can and spray it through your hair, holding it about 8 inches from your head.
Then comb it through, and voila!

Just spray it throughout your hair, focusing on the roots.
Then wait about a minute, run a comb through your hair, and style as you normally do.
We have noticed that the spray nozzle can be problematic.

We love that it doesn’t leave a residue behind, and blends in seamlessly.
What we don’t particularly like is the spray nozzle, which can stand some improvement.

However, you may experience dryness and itching if you use it regularly, according to Williams.
According to Williams, dry shampoo can help absorb oil and sweat but it does not clean the hair.
