Beauty trends keep coming on TikTok. But let’s face it, not all of them are good to take. This is the case of a new trend which consists of diverting micellar water into dry shampoo. A Klorane expert explains why this beauty gesture is contraindicated.
It is true that used on the face, micellar water is capable of trapping soiled sebum and cleansing the epidermis deeply. But is the effect the same on hair? Madie Fanguin, Prospective & Innovation Marketing Manager at Klorane, provides clarification: “on the face, micellar water is used with an elimination gesture by rubbing cotton. On the hair, brushing will not be enough to eliminate the micelles loaded with dirt. They will therefore stay in place until the next shampoo.”
Update on micelles
Also, unlike dry shampoo, micelles do not have the same absorbing and volumizing power. “Even if, initially, the sensation of aqueous freshness of the micellar water will simulate a cleansing gesture, after drying, the surfactant responsible for the micelles will deposit an oily film weighing down the roots.explains the specialist. A counterproductive result therefore, especially when we know that dry shampoos are particularly effective in absorbing oily impurities and leaving a matte finish.
Irritations in sight
Micellar water formulas are not made to be in contact with the scalp for a long time, which can cause irritation. “Be careful of possible irritations and imbalances.”warns Madie Fanguin. “It is recommended to use products designed for this purpose to ensure optimal results and scalp health.”adds the expert.
The new Klorane dry shampoos enriched with oats, nettle, Like ceramides and vitamin E, have antioxidant and protective properties, respectful of the scalp.
