The best dry shampoos for your hair type

For your gym bag

“Actually cleans hair.” That’s what this dry shampoo’s bottle reads — and we have to agree. The clean citrusy scent is the first clue that it’s working, followed by the visible absorption of post-workout oil and sweat. Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo, $29.

For dark hair

Like the rest of Moroccanoil’s products, this dry shampoo smells amazing. The fact that it doesn’t leave white residue on dark hair is a huge selling point, and the argan-oil formula leaves locks shiny and vibrant. Moroccanoil Dry Shampoo Dark Tones, $29.

For reviving third-day hair

No dry shampoo roundup is complete without this cult favourite, and with good reason: it works. It instantly makes hair feel clean, buying you another day before washing (no matter how many have come before it). Batiste Original dry shampoo, $9.

For the talc-free lover

Just a sprinkle of this Arrowroot based powder will mattify grease, absorb oil and give a volume boost to lifeless locks. Bonus: it smells like rose and geranium. Captain Blankenship Mermaid Dry Shampoo, $32, The Detox Market.

For fine hair

This weightless formula (with mineral clay and citrus) refreshes greasy hair and volumizes thin strands. Bonus: It’s easy on the wallet. TRESemmé Fresh Start Volumizing Dry Shampoo, $8.

For an oily scalp

Natural oat milk softens your hair, while micronized powders absorb hard-to-handle root oil. One of our editors even claims it gives her bob a bounce on par with a salon blowout (almost). Plus, the tint is natural, thanks to mineral pigments. Klorane Natural Shade Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk, $16.

For the pro-powder contingent

We love that this product is non-aerosol, which means it’s easier to sprinkle onto specific areas (hello, greasy part!). Pro tip: Apply before bed and sleep on it if you’re worried about even application. Lush No Drought Dry Shampoo, from $9.
