I’m a hairdresser and you’ve been using your dry shampoo all wrong – it’s the reason why your scalp always feels gross
A BEAUTY expert has revealed the right way of applying dry shampoo – and it will banish that gross feeling on your scalp.
Dry shampoo is a godsend on days when you’re running late or you’re simply trying to give your hair a little breather.
But those who use it on a religious basis will be familiar with that heavy and gross feeling on your scalp after a few days of skipping shower.
According to one hair whizz, Matt Newman, there’s a reason behind it – and it’s all to do with how and where you spray the shampoo.
The pro, from the US, insisted that rather than applying the product directly onto your scalp, you should choose a different placement.
Sharing the trick on TikTok, Matt explained: ”Don’t aim your dry shampoo at your scalp – it’s not good for your skin.
”Instead, target just below the root,” he said in the video, adding that this will minimise any nasty build-up in the scalp.
Once you’ve applied the product, give your hair a good shake and use your fingers to work it in.
Posted less than a day ago, the video has already taken the social media platform by storm, racking up over 230k views.
Dozens of TikTok fans flocked to comments, where many thanked Matt for his expert advice.
One beauty lover said: ”Ohhhhh, thx!! That’s why my scalp is so dry [sic].”
Meanwhile, someone else shared how they use dry shampoo: ”My trick is to put it on a clean ( brand new) make up brush and pat it on.”

”I always tell people this! It’s so bad for the scalp,” another agreed with the pro.
”Thank you!! That helps so much,” a fourth penned.
”Omg I didn’t know that! Going to try that next time!” a person joined the discussion online.
Matt, who lives in New York, has become a rising internet sensation, amassing more than 1.5million followers on TikTok and over 300k fans on Instagram.
The professional hairstylist regularly shares an array of hacks for upping your hair game, such as affordable shampoos and how to correctly apply hair serum.
”Don’t apply hair serum from the bottle onto your hair,” he said.
”Most oil-based or serum-based hair products are gonna perform best when you break them down really well on your palm.”
According to Matt, you should first squeeze a tiny amount of the serum and rub into into your hands for eight or so seconds.
Once it’s warm and ready to use, gently work it into your locks and watch magic happen.
