Fellow readers, we’re dying to know… do you use dry shampoo? What are your reasons? Do you use it regularly or just on days when you need a break from washing? Without naming names around here, a few of us have tried it while others admitted to using baby powder and other “drying” tricks to volumize limp or otherwise dirty hair.
Well, we’ve done our research, and it seems that the products below really deliver results. Any good ones we left off the list?
Oscar Blandi Dry Shampoo Spray
This product refreshes hair in minutes by soaking up oil, removing product buildup, and boosting volume. It’s free from parabens, sulfates and synthetic dyes; and it’s not tested on animals.
Liquid Keratin Volumizing Dry Shampoo
This is a powder-free dry shampoo that is specifically formulated with a keratin complex to enhance the strength and elasticity of damaged hair. Create a frizz-free finish with shine while absorbing excess oils.
Bumble and Bumble Blondish Hair Powder
This is ideal for darker blondes with oily hair (read: less than clean). This tinted hair powder requires a dirty ‘do so it has something to hold on to, but it delivers a major punch with a texturizing, matifying spray. Bonus: this product can be used to blend away roots in between appointments!
