Dry shampoo, a quick fix for many Britons, promises oil absorption and hair refreshment. But experts warn of unintended health risks. Dr. Erdogan from Smile Hair Clinic highlights its potential to cause scalp irritation, inflammation, and chemical exposure. Frequent use—three to four times between washes—can disrupt natural oil regulation and lead to issues mimicking dandruff. Some products even contained benzene, a carcinogen, recalled due to cancer concerns.
Dr. Erdogan advises limiting usage, checking product ingredients, and opting for clarifying shampoos to maintain scalp health.
