Beauty expert reveals common mistake people make when using dry shampoo

A beauty expert has revealed a common mistake people make when using dry shampoo. Rachel Bowling insists it is vital when you spray the product into your hair, reports the Mirror.

The beauty influencer took to her social media to share her top tips for using the product to help reinvigorate your hair. In a video shared onto her Instagram, @rachelbowling, she explained that it is best to use dry shampoo fresh out of the shower rather than waiting until it's needed.

She said: "The biggest piece of advice I can give you and dry shampoo is to use it as soon as you wash and dry it. This will help absorb the oils as they happen rather than using it to try and cover them up."

The video was quick to spark up interest on social media with many people quick to share their thoughts on her advice. Many people were completely unaware of the top tip from the influencer.

One person stated: "I had no idea." Meanwhile another added: "Gosh ..soo many peeps use it way later into the week.

"Geez good tip." A third person said: "I never knew that.

"I always use dry shampoo after the second day, just to avoid oil and the flatten look. But thanks, I will try your tip."

Meanwhile, other people who have already tried and tested the hack were quick to agree that prevention works better than finding a cure. One person said: "I've been doing this for years and no one ever believed me when I say I haven't washed my hair in a week,"

A second agreed adding: "Yes! I hate to admit how many days I can skip washing my hair when I dry shampoo and style on the first day. But it’s a lot."

Another user said: "I used to think dry shampoo never worked for me until someone finally told me to put in on clean hair. Game changer."

However, others were curious to find out more about the method from Rachel. One commenter asked: "Do you need to reapply daily after initially spraying, or does it continue to work? I use powder dry shampoo now and have to use daily."

Rachel replied: "I usually only have to use it the first day! I only reapply if I want it to smell good again."
