Hairdresser claims we've been using dry shampoo wrong - and shows 'right' way to do it

Do you use dry shampoo as part of your beauty regime?

Do you ever find that it doesn't seem to be working the way that you want it to?

Well, according to a hairdresser named Cora, it could be because you're using it wrong.

Cora took to the app TikTok to share a video on what she claims is the "correct" way to use dry shampoo, if you want your hair to look its absolute best.

Posting on the account @corascamera, she said: "So you’re probably using dry shampoo wrong and I’m going to show you how to use it right."

Rub it in, spreading it evenly through your hair (TikTok)

She begins by spraying the product "very generously" all over her head at the roots.

That sounds just like what we would usually do, except there's one big difference.

Instead of immediately rubbing the dry shampoo in, Cora leaves it to sit for like "five or ten minutes".

She encourages women to leave it in their hair while doing their make-up.

Then she rubs it in, making sure to spread it through evenly.

After that she takes a hair brush and brushes it through her hair.

And to finish she follows all of this up with a dry conditioner.

She adds: "And this goes against everything that I've learned but my favourite dry shampoo in the world is Dove.

"Not their shampoo and conditioner, dry shampoo. But keep that between us."

Thousands of people have liked, shared and commented on the video.

One said what we're all thinking: "I didn't even know that dry conditioner existed lmao."

Another replied: "Sis out here saving lives."

A third wrote: "This is super helpful."

"Your hair is freaking gorgeous, thanks for the tip," added a different user.

Someone else responded: "Okay this is actually helpful cause I just spray it in on my roots and in some spots and then brush it and it like gets greasier."
