What is Waterless Dry Shampoo? Dry Shampoo for Braids, Cornrows, and Dreads
Hello, I'm Lily, a braider (who braids hair in braids and cornrows) in Aichi Prefecture!
Braids and cornrows will fall apart quickly if you wash them every day, and they will be difficult to dry. In fact, washing them every day can cause a noticeable damp smell.
Additionally, many people with curly hair have dry scalps and dry hair, so shampooing every day is not recommended, even if you don't braid it.
However, Japan is very humid, so I would like to shampoo every day if possible! I'm also concerned about the smell!
Since we have many customers like this, we would like to announce the results of our extensive research and testing of various dry shampoos!
Yes, today we're talking about dry shampoo.
If you're wondering what dry shampoo is, or if you're looking for a dry shampoo that's perfect for braided hair or dreadlocks, be sure to read on.
▪️What is dry shampoo?
Dry shampoo is a product that refreshes your scalp and hair without using water .
Instead of rinsing it off in the shower like regular shampoo, just apply it to your scalp and hair (or wipe it off after application).
There are spray types and foam types.
Since it does not use water, it can be used when you cannot shampoo, such as during a disaster or when you are hospitalized.
There are also products that you can spray on when going out in the summer to remove stickiness.
Available at drugstores and online shops
How to choose a dry shampoo
The dry shampoo you choose will depend on what you're using it for.
1. Use it in the summer when you sweat (for those with unbraided hair)
I recommend a gas spray type as it is light and easy to use.
However, please note that this product is designed to be washed off on the same day, so if you don't shampoo for several days, it may cause itching. It is only for when you are out and can't shampoo right away. It is not suitable for braided hair, as it can make the hair feel dry.
②Preparing for hospitalization and disasters
We recommend a foam or gas-free spray type.
Most foam products are wipe-off types.
Just spray it on
Both products are similar to alcohol disinfectants, so if you can't shampoo for several days, it's better to wipe them off to prevent itching.
Recommended for when you are hospitalized
I think products for hospitalization or disasters are also quite suitable for braids and cornrows.
3. What is the best dry shampoo for braids, cornrows, and dreadlocks?
I've tried every product on the market, but nothing really worked for me.
Every product,
"When I use it, it actually makes me itchy."
"It feels like the scent is being disguised with fragrance."
"It's dry and makes flyaway hairs stand out."
There are many comments like this...
I thought if there was a dry shampoo suitable for black hair, I could enjoy the days when I don't wash my hair and keep my style for longer...
So I made it!
Dry shampoo just for braids, cornrows and dreadlocks!
Braided Bonds Fresh Rock Mousse is here
It's a straightforward name, but it's a great product that will refresh you and rock your style.
It deodorizes without masking the smell, and not only does it reduce itching even when worn continuously, it actually helps to relieve itching.
It comes out as foam so that it can be easily distributed all over.
It is also recommended for treating dandruff, so be sure to apply it to your scalp.
Please note that this product is designed specifically for black hair, so it is not recommended for those with straight, unbraided hair.
If you have curly hair, it will deodorize your hair while keeping your curls looking beautiful even when you're not braiding it, and if you have a dry scalp, it's also recommended to apply it to your scalp as a moisturizer!

Other dry shampoos for black hair
Of course, Fresh Rock Mousse is my top recommendation,
I will also introduce some of the things I liked among the various things I tried before development.
Each one has a different scent, so I use them depending on my mood!
① I don't use it that much, so I want something cheap.
This is a great value for money product, and the fact that it's fragrance-free is a great point.
Please note that the alcohol content is strong, so it is not recommended for those with sensitive skin. If you experience itching, please wipe it off.
I have sensitive and dry skin, so I only use it occasionally when I don't have time.
The deodorizing effect is not so good, but it has a strong refreshing feeling.
② I want to enjoy the scent
N Dot dry shampoo is only sold in hair salons, but I love the organic mint scent.
I really liked it, but it wasn't moisturizing enough, and I felt like I wanted to wipe it off if I kept wearing it...
I really love the organic citrus scent!
There are two scents to choose from, so it's perfect for when you want to change your mood.
3. I just want something that feels smooth.
I'm more concerned about itching than odor control
For those with mild skin who want something refreshing
We recommend the dry shampoo developed by braider Yukari.
The shampoo for braids here is incredibly cooling, so I think it's great for anyone wanting a refreshing feeling!
These are my recommendations as someone who has used a lot of dry shampoo!
I've improved all the things I thought about the products I introduced today, like "I wish this was better."
Fresh Lock Mousse was made with the utmost care, so please give it a try!
I'd be happy to hear your impressions after using it.
