After our aunt had a stroke, caring for her became a challenge. She was bedridden and could only sit for a few minutes while leaning on something or someone. She also had a feeding tube on.
She was heavy and we weren't strong enough to bring her to the bathroom let alone keep her upright for so long. We had to make do with sponge baths. My sister bought a canister of Palmolive Dry Shampoo Fresh and Volume in Mixed Berries in the hopes of keeping her hair and scalp fresh and clean.
Dry shampoos come in spray cans. Their key ingredients for addressing oiliness are usually alcohol or starch. Palmolive Dry Shampoo Fresh and Volume in Mixed Berries has both. They are sprayed on hair sections a couple of inches from the roots and then massaged through hair and scalp.
We used this every other day and stopped after over a week when we noticed she had more hair fall than previous. Her hair also felt weighed down and greasier.
It's been five months since and my aunt is doing relatively okay now, no longer bedridden.
I decided to break out the Palmolive Dry Shampoo Fresh and Volume in Mixed Berries one cold morning recently as I didn't have time to wash and dry my hair. I thought maybe the hair fall was due to my aunt being sick. Girls, was I wrong.
My hair felt heavy and a lot stickier after using this. I couldn't wait to wash it off when I got home. Which I did, and there were lots of strands on my bathroom floor. The berry smell is not that long-lasting.
Note that my aunt and I both have thick hair. My sister has thin hair and it works for her. I think this would work too for rebonded hair.
I heard somewhere that baby powders are a good alternative to dry shampoos. Haven't tried that, maybe I will in the future.
