What is Dry Wash & Volume?

Dry Wash & Volume by Code Zero is a powder styling routine that pairs Dry Ease dry shampoo powder with Puff Up root volume powder, for roots that look fresher and lifted between washes. Dry Ease absorbs excess sebum in 2 minutes and is brushed out, then Puff Up lifts the roots at the crown and temples for body and texture right after application. Two steps on dry hair, without water and without heat, turn a flat look into a fuller style.

Specifications

What's in the kit

Who Dry Wash & Volume is for

• Fine or flat hair that needs body at the roots.
• Roots that look oily and need a quick refresh between washes.
• Fast restyling without water or heat, at home or on the go.
• Salons offering a quick refresh and volume service, or recommending a between-wash routine.

For one step only, the two powders are also available on their own: see the comparison below.

Key ingredients

• Oryza Sativa (Rice) Starch, Zea Mays (Corn) Starch and Tapioca Starch (Dry Ease): absorbent starches that take up excess sebum for fresher-looking roots.
• Zeolite and Kaolin (Dry Ease): absorbent minerals that give a matte finish at the roots.
• Silica Silylate (Puff Up): ultra-light texturising powder that creates space between the hair fibres for lift and grip.
• Glycerin (Puff Up): humectant that helps keep the hair supple.

Results

The roots look fresh and light, then lifted, with visible body at the base and a matte, natural finish. The hair feels airy and holds a fuller shape, so the style looks freshly done between washes. A touch more Puff Up revives the lift whenever the hair looks flat during the day.

How to use Dry Wash & Volume

1. Make sure the hair is completely dry, then divide it into sections.
2. Apply Dry Ease directly to the roots of each section.
3. Massage gently to distribute and leave on for 2 minutes to absorb excess sebum.
4. Brush thoroughly to remove the powder.
5. Apply Puff Up to the roots in the key areas, such as the vertex and the temples, then shake the roots with the fingertips to lift them and style as desired.

FAQ

Is Dry Wash & Volume used on dry hair?

Yes: both powders work on completely dry hair, sectioned before application.

Why is Dry Ease applied before Puff Up?

Volume powder lifts best on fresh roots: Dry Ease absorbs excess sebum first, so Puff Up can give its full lift.

Can the two powders be used separately?

Yes: Dry Ease on its own refreshes the roots, Puff Up on its own lifts clean roots.

Where is Puff Up applied for the most volume?

At the roots of the vertex, the crown and the temples, then the roots are shaken with the fingertips.

How is the style fixed after the routine in the salon?

With a light mist of a finishing hairspray such as Finish UP, once the shape is done.
