The Dry Shampoos 10 Beauty Editors Swear By

“This product freshens up your locks and absorbs excess oil, making it a necessity for my second-day (or third-day..) hair. But it’s the gorgeous scent that gets me every time. I love getting whiffs of vanilla & sandalwood throughout my day, yet it’s subtle enough that it doesn’t overpower. Oh, and it’s finally a hair product that’s mantle-piece worthy.” -Brittany Lane, News and Social Editor, Beauty Crew

“Aveda's Shampure Dry Shampoo, has everything, a punny name and the goods to back it up. Eco chic women will love the environmentally friendly ethos behind the brand and the non-aerosol delivery system (you just sprinkle the powder in). With 25 pure flower and plant extracts, your roots will be having a garden party (and you’ll be the good looking host if you remember to brush out the excess powder).” -Danielle Jackson, Beauty Editor, Who

“This new dry shampoo takes on two vital roles – it refreshes greasy roots, and moisturises straw-like tresses with a single spritz. However, its lighter-than-air formula is what makes it a true winner in my eyes; it simply melts into your hair upon contact, without leaving a gritty residue behind.” -Iantha Yu, Beauty Editor, Beauty Crew

“As a brunette, any time I can find a dry shampoo that doesn’t leave grey patches is cause for celebration. This one from Moroccanoil certainly ticks that box, but on top of that it helps actually absorb any oiliness from a sweaty morning gym session without leaving a heavy texture or any extra grit that I’ve experienced with some other dry shampoos.” -Carli Alman, Editor, Beauty Crew

“I use dry shampoo about once a week when I don’t have time to blow-dry but need to restore volume and mop up grease. At the moment I’m using TRESemmé Instant Refresh Cleansing Dry Shampoo. I like that it’s not too heavily fragrance and adds a bit of grits to make styling easier.” -Alex Noonan, Content Director, Beauty Crew
