Yes! Dry shampoo for curly hair can be amazing in a spray or powder form. We especially love dry shampoo powder for being budget-friendly and travel-friendly. So to get the best results with powder dry shampoo whenever you need it, try these tips!
Powder Play
Dry Shampoo is a hair product staple in my cabinet. While it’s usually been a spray, dry shampoo is now a favorite too. Finally, I found one that is made for brunettes too!
Dry shampoos are great for instantly making oily hair look and smell fresher. Try this method of application to avoid unsightly powder patches on your curls.

Dry Shampoo Tip: Don’t shake the powder directly onto your hair!
As powders can unexpectedly drop too little or too much at a time, try this method.
First, tap the dry shampoo powder onto your fingertips to see the amount of product. Then, smooth it out a bit with your fingertips to remove any clumps.
Next, glide your fingers through your hair and massage the powder onto your scalp. Use back-and-forth or side-to-side motions, not circles. This will keep your hairstyle intact and prevent any knots, tangles, or frizz from forming.
To see the application technique for dry shampoo powder, I share it in this sleeping hairstyles video for preserving and protecting curls overnight.
Pro Tip: Apply dry shampoo at night to wake up with fresher-looking curls in the morning!
