Whether you’re a seasoned dry shampoo enthusiast or a curious newcomer, this comprehensive guide will equip you with all the knowledge you need to make the most of this game-changing beauty staple.

Let’s dive in…

What Is Dry Shampoo?

No doubt about it, dry shampoo has transformed hair care routines worldwide, offering a convenient (and time saving!) solution for refreshing hair without water. As we know, unlike traditional liquid shampoos, dry shampoo comes in powder or aerosol form and is designed to absorb excess oil and grease from the scalp and hair. It’s perfect for those hectic days when a full wash-day ritual isn’t an option but fresh, clean hair is still a priority.

What Does Dry Shampoo Do?

At its core, dry shampoo revitalises hair by absorbing oil and adding volume. Beyond its cleansing properties, it enhances texture, boosts natural shine, and prolongs the life of hairstyles. This versatile product seamlessly integrates into various routines, from adding oomph to styled hair to rejuvenating flat strands between washes. This makes it an essential tool for those with hectic schedules or anyone looking to extend the longevity of their hairstyles without compromising on freshness.

In addition to its cleansing prowess, dry shampoo brings a host of additional benefits to the table. It enhances hair texture by imparting a lightweight, volumising effect, making it an extra special essential for those with fine or flat hair. It also elevates natural shine and by providing grip and manageability, dry shampoo also helps maintain your chosen style 

ARKIVE’s Dry Shampoo - THE RESET

Welcome to The Reset, ARKIVE’S cult-status dry shampoo renowned for its exceptional quality and performance. Crafted with a blend of natural ingredients, including nourishing baobab oil, THE RESET offers more than just a quick cleanse. It revitalises your hair and scalp, leaving them feeling refreshed and rejuvenated with each application. It’s that popular, we genuinely struggle to keep it in stock! 

At the heart of THE RESET lies its unique formulation, designed to absorb excess oil and impurities while imparting a natural lift and volume to your hair. This makes it an ideal companion for those seeking to extend the time between washes without compromising on cleanliness or style.

The success of THE RESET can be attributed to its gentle formula that respects your hair’s natural balance and can be used on all hair types. Unlike harsh cleansing agents found in some traditional shampoos, THE RESET maintains the integrity of your hair while effectively removing dirt and excess oil without a white cast in sight. It does all this whilst leaving your locks feeling soft, manageable, and seriously scented (more on that later).

How To Use THE RESET 

Mastering the application of dry shampoo is essential for achieving optimal results with THE RESET. To ensure your hair stays fresh and volumized, follow these simple steps:

1. Shake well & apply: Begin by vigorously shaking THE RESET canister to activate and evenly distribute the formula. This ensures that the ingredients are thoroughly mixed for optimal performance. Hold the can approximately 10cm away from your scalp. Section your hair if needed and spray THE RESET evenly over the roots, focusing on any areas that appear overly oily or lacking in volume.
2. Massage & wait: Next, use your fingertips to gently massage and zhugh the dry shampoo into your scalp. This action helps the product absorb excess oil and impurities, revitalising your hair from the roots. Now here comes the secret sauce - allow THE RESET to sit for a few minutes before continuing to fully work its magic. Now’s the perfect time to indulge in some Headcare by focusing on your breathing. 
3. Brush through: After letting THE RESET sit, use a brush or a comb to evenly distribute it throughout your hair. This step helps to remove any excess residue and ensures a clean, refreshed look.

How to maximise the effectiveness of THE RESET: 

Around here, we don’t like to gatekeep. For additional tips on getting the most out of this cult classic, these are our best tips and tricks: 

1. Avoid overuse: While dry shampoo is so convenient for extending time between washes, using it excessively can lead to product buildup. Use THE RESET as needed to maintain hair freshness without compromising its natural balance but sometimes nothing can beat the necessity of a full wash-day ritual. Making sure to use THE CROWN SCALP SCRUB weekly will help to keep any product build up at bay.
2. Style enhancer: Beyond its cleansing properties, THE RESET can also serve as a super styling aid. Use it to add texture, volume and grit to your hair before styling, ensuring your hair holds its shape throughout the day.
3. Travel companion: Pack THE RESET in your travel essentials for quick touch-ups on the go. It’s perfect for refreshing hair after commutes, trips to the gym and after long flights.

The bottom line…

Dry shampoo is one of our favourite Headcare essentials and with good reason offering convenience, versatility, and effective cleansing without water. THE RESET delivers a gentle yet effective solution to refresh and revitalise your hair anytime, anywhere.
