Not all heroes wear capes, and in this case, the real-life hero is dry shampoo. Without this magical specimen, who knows how many bad hair days would come to haunt us. The problem with dry shampoo, though, is that too much of it can actually cause some major hair + scalp issues due to product buildup. Before you freak out, we have a little PSA: Did you know that we carry dry shampoo that’s actually good for your hair and scalp?
What is Dry Shampoo?
Dry shampoo is essentially a kind of shampoo meant to reduce oiliness/greasiness without using water.
Too Much of a Good Thing
While dry shampoo truly can be a lifesaver in a time crunch, there is such thing as too much of a good thing when it comes to most dry shampoos. Why you may ask? Product buildup. The reason we use dry shampoo is to absorb excess sebum, which is the oil that your scalp produces that can make your hair look greasy. Over time, continued use of dry shampoo can also lead to product buildup, which often results in skin irritation, dry patches and even dandruff.
Another drawback of most dry shampoos is that they are typically packaged in aerosol bottles. Spray products that use aerosol can release chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) into the atmosphere, which have been known to damage our ozone layer. Aerosol products have also been linked to health issues such as lung damage.
The Dry Shampoo That’s Actually Good for You
Briogeo is proud to say that we’ve developed one of the only dry shampoos on the market that’s actually good for your hair and scalp. Que our Scalp Revival charcoal + biotin dry shampoo! This 98% naturally-derived dry shampoo works to cleanse and refresh the hair to extend the life of your blow out, detoxifies and draws out impurities from the scalp, and normalizes oil production to provide a long term fix for an oily scalp.
The Ingredients
Our *no-aerosol* dry shampoo uses scalp-healthy Binchotan charcoal to detoxify and draw out impurities from the scalp and hair.
A complex of clay, tapioca and rice starches absorb the excess oil at the roots to refresh, clean and extend the life of your blowout.
We utilize witch hazel extract to help normalize oil production to prevent an oily scalp, making this dry shampoo a solution-oriented product as opposed to just a temporary fix.
Lastly, we harness the benefits of super-vitamin, biotin, to provide essential nutrients to the hair follicle to support healthy hair.

How to Use
Shake well before use and twist the cap to reveal the spray dispenser. Squeeze the bottle and dispense evenly five inches away from the hair for even distribution. Focus at the roots. Let the shampoo sit for two minutes and then brush or finger through the hair thoroughly until the powder is removed.
