Life can get hectic, and sometimes washing your hair just isn't in the cards. But greasy hair doesn't have to bring you down. Dry shampoo is here to save the day, absorbing oil and reviving your hair between washes. With the right bottle of dry shampoo in your hands, a good hair day is just a few spritzes away. With so many options on the shelves, however, finding the perfect dry shampoo can feel overwhelming. Which ones actually work and which ones are worth trying out? In this article, we hope to help take out the guesswork in finding the right dry shampoo for you. Here are our top picks and what makes them stand out. 

Classic Cleanliness:

Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo: This classic product lives up to its name. Its rice starch formula effectively tackles oil, leaving your hair feeling refreshed and residue-free. Living Proof's Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo is a game-changer for greasy hair woes. Unlike many dry shampoos that just mask oil, this one also cleanses hair while refreshing it by absorbing oil, sweat, and odor. 

Amika Drydream Dry Shampoo: This dry shampoo is another option that claims to cleanse hair like a traditional shampoo. It uses rice starch to absorb oil, and it also contains ingredients to add volume and shine to hair.

Pump Up the Volume:

Kenra Volume Dry Shampoo: Kenra’s Volume Dry Shampoo tackles oily roots by absorbing excess oil, sweat, and impurities, leaving your hair feeling cleaner and fresher while also lifting and adding volume and body to your hair at the roots, creating a fuller and more voluminous appearance. This dry shampoo is especially perfect for those with fine, limp hair that just falls flat everytime. 

OUAI Super Dry Shampoo: This one packs a punch. Ideal for thicker hair, it absorbs excess oil without weighing strands down, leaving your hair feeling clean and fresh after every use. OUAI Super Dry Shampoo goes beyond just oil control, too! It also delivers a noticeable lift at the roots, adding volume and body to your hair. 

Color-Treated Hair? We've Got You:

This dark dry shampoo from VERB not only refreshes your hair but enhances its dark color as well, making it look vibrant and healthy even when you forego a wash. 

Bumble and Bumble Prêt-À-Powder Très Invisible Dry Shampoo: This dry shampoo goes the extra mile for color-treated hair. It absorbs oil and refreshes your style, while a UV filter helps protect your hair color from fading.

Sensitive Scalp Saviors:

L’Anza Healing Style Dry Shampoo: Fight frizz and restore volume between washes with L'anza Healing Dry Shampoo! This gentle formula absorbs excess oil and impurities, leaving hair feeling clean, weightless, and full of volume.

Amika Perk Up Talc-Free Dry Shampoo: Another excellent option for sensitive scalps, this talc-free formula uses rice starch to tackle oil, while sea buckthorn, rich in vitamins and essential fatty acids, nourishes the scalp.

Pro Tip: When using dry shampoo, focus on the roots where oil accumulates most. Apply in short bursts, massaging it into the scalp to distribute the product evenly. Avoid overdoing it, as too much dry shampoo can lead to buildup.

With this informative guide, you can confidently conquer those in-between washes and flaunt fresh, revived locks, no matter your hair type or preference. So go forth, embrace the power of dry shampoo, and keep your hair looking its best!
