Most of my friends LOVE dry shampoo. They are obsessed with it, and tell me I'm nuts for washing my hair the old-fashioned way everyday. But according to a new article, I'll have the last laugh when I still have hair and they are all bald!

According to a new expose, dry shampoo was never meant to be used on a regular basis, and all that oil-sucking-up it does? It can irritate the scalp and increase hair loss! Let me repeat that. IT CAN INCREASE HAIR LOSS.

Olga Khazan, who wrote the big, eye-opening article about dry shampoos in The Atlantic magazine, interviewed some dermatologists to back up these claims and talks about the build up it can cause. Here is an excerpt:   "...these products can also cause hair follicles to stick together, so that a hair that would normally shed during brushing may take two or three strands along with it."

Be careful. And go take a shower!
