There is a lot of information out there on social media about the different ingredients that supposedly stimulate hair growth, but when I looked into many of them I learned that there isn’t science to back up a lot of these ingredients. If I’m going to add something to my routine, I want to make sure it will work so I don’t end up wasting time or money. I don’t want you to waste yours either.
There are a few different reasons why you might interested in the best alternatives to dry shampoo.

Hair masks are generally deeply moisturizing, so it would seem a hair mask might make an oily hair situation worse! Luckily, there are ways to use moisturizing masks to your benefit even if you have an oily scalp, and there are other masks which are meant to soak up oil and can therefore stop excessive oil production.
A two-inch barrel is the same size as a round brush, which makes it perfect for a loose, blown out look. If you have long-hair, your hair will more easily fit around the barrel which also means you can get those loose curls faster as you can apply heat to more of your hair at once.
A few years ago I dreamed of being one of those people who could wash their hair only once a week, but I was just trying to stop my hair from getting greasy after just one day. If I took a shower in the morning, my hair was already getting oily by nighttime. I started by trying to “train” my hair, or the process of gradually washing my hair less and less until my hair could last for at least a couple days. After a few (long) months of this, I read that hair training was actually a myth and I had been wasting my time (cue the tears.)
