There is much debate over how often to wash your hair, and it often comes down to your hair type, activity levels and the area in which you live.
A hair expert shared the products you can use to freshen your locks in between hair wash days.
Hair surgeon at Elithair Dr Balwi previously shared the maximum number of times to wash your hair every week for a healthy, shiny mane.
On days that you forgo washing your locks, he spoke about the benefits of dry shampoo. This product is sprayed on and absorbs oil and grease from your hair, while often making it voluminous.

However, it should be used sparingly. Dr Balwi advised: "You can freshen up your hair using dry shampoo, although this should be used sparingly as too much dry shampoo can build up and clog the hair follicles.
"To avoid unnecessary build-up, dry shampoo should be used only two to three times a week.
"You do not need a lot and it should be used sparingly, focusing on the roots and not sprayed directly onto the scalp.
"You should opt for a non-comedogenic dry shampoo as they are more suitable for people with sensitive scalps."
Dry shampoo can be a useful tool midweek, but women must make sure they are using it correctly.
Those who are worried about hair loss and want to achieve their best mane are told of other products that could be helpful - or damaging - to their mane.
The pro added: "The products you use to wash your hair are also important, using shampoos containing sulphates and silicones is damaging to your overall hair health and can clog the hair follicles causing fallout.
"Sodium Lauryl Sulfate or Sodium Laureth Sulfate in particular are harsh on the hair follicles and are responsible for stripping away its natural oils.
