Hair maintenance is more crucial than ever as winter is approaching. Maintaining moisturized and healthy hair is essential, especially if you intend to spend time in the sun. The easiest way to remove oil, humidity, and filth when you are pressed for time, dry shampoo can help add oomph when you need to switch up your hairdo, and it can help you maintain your hair color for long periods. Thus, dry shampoo is a must-have addition to your summer haircare routine.
The major part? Finding the best dry shampoo for your hair, as there is a multitude of options available. Thankfully, we’ve narrowed them down for you. Here are five dry shampoos you should buy to keep your hair fresh and healthy this winter:
1. Oribe Gold Lust Dry Shampoo
Dry shampoo from Oribe is lightweight and unnoticeable. While most dry shampoos leave behind white dust that must be rubbed in and have a mild citrus scent due to their lychee and watermelon base, Oribe is virtually invisible on contact in even dark hair while eliminating all traces of oil. The spray also bursts out like a jet engine quickly, which can seem unnecessary for such an expensive product, but it performs what it is supposed to do at an outrageous price.
2. R+Co Skyline Dry Shampoo Powder
Another powder formula with a pump dispenser is the dry shampoo by R+Co. The powder is stiff, smooth, delicate, and, most surprisingly, glittering. Although it appears on stems, the shimmer probably originates from the mineral components in vermiculite, which are intended to absorb oil. If you have a dry scalp or dandruff, the product’s chunkiness and tendency to settle on the scalp are not ideal.
3. Amika Perk Up Dry Shampoo
This sure is an average dry shampoo but it would appear beautiful on any vanity because of its package. Its overpoweringly sweet scent made matters worse; as one of our testers put it, “it feels like drugstore perfume.” It worked perfectly, removing extra oil, leaving hair leaving fresh and soft enough, and leaving behind a negligible amount of white residue. Although the stench was a deterrent, it did help regulate the oil in both curly and straight hair.
4. Moroccanoil Dry Shampoo
Hair that is dry, moisturized, or frizzy benefits greatly from Moroccanoil dry shampoo. Because it contains argan oil, it hydrates while it cleans and adds some volume. It truly makes hair feel fresh and silky rather than chalky and lifeless. It comes in both dark and light shades to suit hair, and a quick massage of the scalp completely removes any residue. Its subtle vanilla perfume is not overpowering, and testers praised it for having “the nicest scent of the lot” and a “very lovely scent.”
5. Kristin Ess Style Reviving Dry Shampoo
This Kristin Ess product goes above and beyond what one would expect from a dry shampoo. To counteract oil, get rid of the scent, and extend the time between washes, it uses absorbent components. Additionally, it has a patented strengthening compound that shields hair strands from external stressors and protects strands from damage.
