As somebody who washes my hair with regular shampoos only once a week.I often use dry shampoo between washes and it works terrific at stopping the oiliness in my hair.But doing this too often can actually be detrimental because the built-up residue can eventually clog your follicles.So try to do it only once between hair washes so your scalp has a chance to breathe.
