Bestie, we know you are super busy. So busy that washing and styling your hair every day is probably not on the agenda - that's where dry shampoo comes in. It's important to make sure that you find the best dry shampoo for YOUR hair type. If you’re not sure what to get, never fear - we’ve assembled an easy-peasy guide of our dry shampoo brands to help you find your what will work best for you.
Stylists actually recommend that you wash your hair every other day in order to preserve your natural oil production levels that keep your hair healthy - even more reason to use it. For DS newbies, check out our how-to video and best recommendations for YOU below.
For a cleanser and dry shampoo in one: Bumble & Bumble Tres Invisible Dry Shampoo
Sometimes, we reeeeeeeally don't have time to wash our hair, even more than usual - and that's where this bad boy comes in. It gives your hair a clean, fresh feel without all the residue that often accompanies certain dry shampoos.
For super thick/coarse hair: Oribe Gold Lust Dry Shampoo
The key for these beauties is: translucent. The last thing you want is to dull your color or leave any sign that you've used a styling product, which can be an issue with powder dry shampoos. This product absorbs oil really well without being too gritty or drying, while protecting color (dark, light, any color at all).
For color-tinting and fun scents: Batiste Dry Shampoo
Batiste is a very big name in the dry shampoo world, and for good reason - it's a fantastic product! There are over 9 scents and tints, making it easy and appealing to use for anyone. We recommend this a great starting point for newbies to dry shampoo.
For those seeking volume and texture: Bumble and Bumble Thickening Dry Spun Finish
You may have read about the Dry Spun in our Battle of the Bumble blog, but if you haven't, we would just like to say that we are mildly obsessed with this product. Many of the girls love to use it as a volumizing styling aid rather than to combat oil, but it will definitely get the job done in a pinch.
For a texturized, matte finish: R+Co Badlands Dry Shampoo Paste
Stylists are pretty obsessed with this product due to its inherently killer styling qualities. While most dry shampoos are a spray or powder, the Badlands is a paste that is anti-buildup and pro-building up styles in addition to other products. It can also be used on its own with a blow dryer to add a bit of volume. Seriously, we LOVE this product.
For sensitive skin: No Nothing Very Sensitive Dry Shampoo
For you eco-friendly and sensitive-skinned gents and gals out there, the No Nothing Very Sensitive Dry Shampoo might just be your new best friend. It's definitely the cleanest of the dry shampoos and has a less gritty feel to it. Super gentle and good for your head.
For irritated scalps that need soothing: R+Co Spiritualized Dry Shampoo Mist
Ever been in dire need of dry shampoo while simultaneously having a crazy dry scalp? It's not a great combo. What if we told you that you didn't need to give up your second-day hair, and that you could actually soothe your scalp in the process? This mist is seriously a dream come true, especially for those living in already dry climates.
