7 Best Dry Shampoos for when You Have No Time ...

By Madison • Mar 4, 2014

The best dry shampoos soak up excess oils on your scalp and leave a fresh scent to give your hair the appearance that it has just been cleaned. Every girl needs a good dry shampoo in her life. Not only is it a time saver on days that you hit the snooze button one too many times, it can also help to improve your hair. The less you wash and style your hair, the healthier your locks will be. Dry shampoo will save you at least one day of lathering up your locks with shampoo in the shower. This also means it saves your hair from another go around with the hair dryer. Use dry shampoo to your advantage to keep your hair as healthy as possible. If you don’t know where to begin when purchasing a dry shampoo, give one of these 7 (no particular order) best dry shampoos a try!

1. Bed Head – Rockaholic Dirty Secret

Bed Head – Rockaholic Dirty Secret One of the best dry shampoos is Bead Head’s Rockaholic. It will “keep your hair rockin’ for one more day!” When it comes to a dry shampoo, you want it to be as colorless as possible so it won’t show up on your roots and scalp after applied. Rockaholic's formula meets this requirement. Another plus is that it smells fantastic! You can get a bottle at any Ulta store or at their website at ulta.com.

2. Big Sexy Hair – Volumizing Dry Shampoo

Big Sexy Hair – Volumizing Dry Shampoo If you are really in a hurry, Big Sexy Hair’s Volumizing Dry Shampoo will be a lifesaver. This dry shampoo not only refreshes your hair, it also adds volume. This will give your hair the appearance that it has been cleaned and styled when all you had to do is spray your hair down with some dry shampoo! You can find this miracle-worker at Ulta stores and on ulta.com.

3. Bumble and Bumble – Prêt-à-Powder

Bumble and Bumble – Prêt-à-Powder Bumble and Bumble also has a dry shampoo that adds volume to your hair. Prêt-à-Powder will give your hair a needed boost after you’ve skipped washing your hair a time or two. It has been formulated to work great on all hair types and textures and is virtually invisible, so it won’t show up on your hair. With Prêt-à-Powder, no one will have to know you skipped out on washing your locks. You can get this product at sephora.com.

4. Oscar Blandi – Pronto Dry Shampoo

Oscar Blandi – Pronto Dry Shampoo Oscar Blandi’s Pronto Dry Shampoo will rejuvenate your unwashed hair without harmful chemicals, including parabens, sulfates, synthetic dyes, petrochemicals, phthalates, GMOs, and triclosan. Another amazing thing about this product is that it works to remove product buildup as well as excess oils on the scalp. Pronto Dry Shampoo will be your new secret weapon. Head to any Sephora store or visit sephora.com to get a bottle.

Embrace your individuality and transform your look by trying out a unique shade. Did you know that green hair is associated with nature, creativity, and growth? So go ahead, experiment with this bold hair color to represent a new phase in your life, waiting to blossom like a fresh spring leaf.

5. Suave – Dry Shampoo Spray

Suave – Dry Shampoo Spray I have never found Suave products to work that well for me. So you can imagine how skeptical I was when my sister Mallory told me that Suave’s Dry Shampoo Spray works quite well. Hesitantly, I bought a bottle to try it out, and I must admit, I was pleasantly surprised! If you are looking for a good dry shampoo that won’t break the bank, I recommend Suave’s Dry Shampoo. It adds lift and texture as well as fights the appearance of grease. You can find this dry shampoo at most drugstores.

6. Drybar – Detox Dry Shampoo

Drybar – Detox Dry Shampoo Drybar’s Detox Dry Shampoo is formulated to be free of parabens, which is the first thing I love about it. Secondly, the powder blends in with your hair color, leaving no trace of the spray behind. Lastly, Detox adds body to your hair all while leaving your hair fresh and looking clean! Sephora exclusively carries this product so visit their store or head on over to their website, sephora.com.

7. Lush – No Drought Dry Shampoo

Lush – No Drought Dry Shampoo I love nearly every Lush product and their dry shampoo is no exception. No Drought Dry Shampoo absorbs excess oils and volumizes hair. No Drought is packed with lemon, grapefruit, and lime oils that work to give your hair a delicious fruity smell so you won’t regret skipping out on washing your hair. The powder blends into all hair colors, even black. This dry shampoo will even add texture and a matte finish to your locks. You can go to your local Lush store or visit lushusa.com to pick up a bottle.

If you don’t already use dry shampoo, try it! It will change your life. Not only does it save time and improve the life and health of your hair, it makes a great travel companion. With music festival season quickly approaching, dry shampoo will become your new BFF. You never know when your locks might need a fresh boost!

    Guys, stop wasting money on the stuff! Corn flour does a better job than any of them. Even works on brown hair, just work it through really really well. x

    I have the suave dry shampoo and I didn't think it would be that good since it was cheap but it turned out to be great! I love it when there's just no time or after a workout! :)
