History of National Dry Shampoo Day
Whether it’s a quick touch-up after a workout or an emergency rescue before that Thursday meeting with the boss — dry shampoo is a godsend for people who wish to look presentable at all times. The instant glossy locks delivered by a dry shampoo are the result of aerosolized rice starch particles, which quickly absorb excess oil and grease on your scalp and let your hair fly with the wind. It is believed that using dry products to clean the scalp hair precedes the ritual of natural cleansing with water. Renditions of dry shampoo have been in use since the 15th century when the Asians used dry clay to clean their hair.
The turn of the 18th century popularized the use of starches to clean the wigs of the courtesans. It wasn’t until the 1900s that the production and sale of dry shampoo accelerated around the world. While the American general stores were flooded with Minipoo, a dry shampoo brand founded by New Jersey Native Stephenie Brooke, the European market’s first introduction to dry shampoo happened much later. In 1972, Klorane, a French hair cosmetics company launched its first dry shampoo product and took the industry by storm. Marketed specifically to women who cannot wash their hair due to physical limitations, this product transcended its original genre and became a purposeful tool for women of all kinds.
Building on its brand as the ‘OG Dry Shampoo,’ Klorane declared March 10 as the official National Dry Shampoo Day in 2017. Every year, the company picks a theme to circle the observation around.

5 Common Myths About Dry Shampoo
It’s an alternative to a hair wash
While it does get the job done, dry shampoo is only a placeholder and not a replacement for traditional hair washing.
It’s talcum powder
Dry shampoo is made with rice starch that absorbs excess oil on the scalp.
It causes dryness in the scalp
When used hand-in-hand with natural cleansing, dry shampoo does not dry out your hair.
Fragrance-free is better
There is virtually no difference between fragrant and non-fragrant, as both have the same common ingredients.
It can stunt hair growth
Dry shampoo has no impact on your roots, as it isn’t absorbed by the scalp.
Why We Love National Dry Shampoo Day

It works for everyone
Men deserve the luxury of luscious and fresh hair at a moment’s notice. Thankfully, dry shampoo for men is not a novel concept. There are plenty of brands that have low-impact formulas for thin and short hair, making this fun observation of National Dry Shampoo Day inclusive to everyone.
It’s a secret weapon
A dry shampoo cleanses, styles, and volumizes hair in mere seconds, saving critical time for a pre-planned blowout. In today’s fast-paced life, dry shampoo is the ammunition we need to save time and effort — while looking presentable and feeling fabulous.
