Dry Shampoo: A Hero or Villan?

We all cannot live without dry shampoo. Who doesn't like a little extra sleep by avoiding having to wash their hair? While dry shampoo can save us time, it's important to read the back of our bottles and lookout for harmful ingredients...

Aerosol dry shampoos use a chemical propellant that sprays out of the can, onto your hair and into the air. This colorless, odorless gas is called LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) and is made up of butane, propane and isobutane.

With repeated exposure, these gasses pose serious risks such as respiratory issues, headaches, hormone disruption, organ (aka brain + liver) damage and not only cause long-term harm to the body, but are destructive to the environment and the earth, as well.

Several dry shampoos on the market today also contain talc, which is often contaminated with asbestos (a highly toxic mineral). There are several health concerns surrounding the use of talc and can include skin irritations, organ system toxicity, respiratory distress and serious cancer risks.

Luckily, I have a solution for you that is free of any of the above ingredients mentioned but still comes in a easy on-the-go spray can that you love. Monat's The CHAMP Dry Shampoo is the answer. Not only does this contain rice starch to assist with soaking up oils with less white residue, but it also contains REJUVENIQE: A blend of 13+ Natural Plant and Essential Oils rich in omega fatty acids, antioxidants and nutrients highly compatible with the skin and hair.

Extend your wash day while treating your scalp with a promoting hair growth blend.

That's a win, win.
