we’ve said it many times and we’ll say it again: social media is an inexhaustible source of information, but we need to carefully filter what we see. This is especially true for the beauty hacks we keep discovering on social media platforms.

It is important that we do not readily adopt what we watch because they often do not have the approval of experts who know best what is harmful and what is not. The latest hack dominating social media involves replacing dry shampoo with micellar water to refresh hair roots. Let’s see what applies to this tip.

The idea of ​​this hack is to spray the roots of our hair with micellar water and then blow dry them. The theory behind this is that the micelles in the water, known for their ability to trap and remove dirt and oil from the skin, will work the same way on the scalp. However, experts do not agree with this practice.

Expert Jane Martins told the British site Stylist: “Using micellar water in place of dry shampoo is not something we would recommend.” She adds: “Mickle water is used to remove dirt and oil from the skin. Dry shampoo is used to absorb oil. It’s best to use products specifically designed for the hair and scalp.”

As we understand, it is important to use products that are specially designed for the needs of our hair and avoid experiments that can have negative effects on hair and scalp health in the long run.
