That’s how you quickly make hair glossy-looking!

Color Protection and Dry, Damaged Hair

Color treated hair can be dry due to the chemicals used to change your hue. Using a dry shampoo in between regular shampoos will help extend your hair color by preventing it the fading or brassy effects from washing. Dry, damaged hair can occur when you use heated tools without a protective spray like Dove Style+Care Smooth & Shine Heat Protection Spray. Curly hair is generally drier than non-curly hair. If you’ve got color-treated hair, damaged hair or dry hair, look for the best dry shampoo that can treat everything in one spritz.
