What is Dry Ease?

Dry Ease by Code Zero is a dry shampoo powder that gives the roots a fresher look between washes and adds matte volume and texture, in a compact 15 g format without water and without propellant. Applied to the roots and left for 2 minutes, its blend of rice, corn and tapioca starch with zeolite and kaolin absorbs excess sebum; once brushed out, the hair looks lighter, fresher and fuller at the base. On clean hair the same powder gives grip and body at the roots for updos and textured styles.

Specifications

Who Dry Ease is for

• Roots that look oily between washes and need a quick refresh, after sport, travel or a long day.
• Flat roots that need matte volume and texture.
• Updos and textured styles that need grip at the base, in the salon and at home.
• A compact powder without propellant that fits easily in a bag.

For a dedicated root volume powder or a dry shampoo spray in a can, see the comparison below.

Key ingredients

• Oryza Sativa (Rice) Starch, Zea Mays (Corn) Starch and Tapioca Starch: fine absorbent starches that take up excess sebum and leave the roots looking fresher.
• Zeolite and Kaolin: absorbent minerals that give a matte finish at the roots.
• Pumice: micronised mineral that helps lift the powder and excess sebum away when the hair is brushed.
• Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein: conditioning protein that helps keep the hair soft during styling.

Results

The roots look fresher and lighter, with a soft matte finish and visibly more body at the base. The hair feels airy and easy to style, and the lift right after application gives updos and loose styles a fuller shape. Brushed out well, the powder blends into the hair and the style keeps a natural look.

How to use Dry Ease

1. Apply the powder directly to dry roots, where they look oily or flat.
2. Massage it in with the fingertips across the scalp and roots.
3. Leave on for 2 minutes so the powder absorbs excess sebum.
4. Brush thoroughly to remove the powder.
5. Style as desired. For grip and volume in updos, apply it to clean, dry hair as well.
