Everything About the Best Dry Shampoos

Why Dry Shampoo?

Dry shampoo. Who can live without it! Want to stay in bed a little longer in the morning and spend less time styling your hair? Then dry shampoo can come in handy. Is your hair very oily, and are you trying to wash it only two or three times a week? In that case, a bottle of dry shampoo is a must-have in your beauty collection! We’ve listed the best dry shampoos of 2021 for you, so you don’t have to do any research.

What Should You Look for When Choosing a Dry Shampoo?

There are so many dry shampoos on the market, in every price, color, and scent. So how on earth do you choose the best one for your hair? What should you look for?

Dry Shampoo Texture

Powder dry shampoo: Powder-form dry shampoo is reminiscent of talcum powder. You apply it to the roots, where any excess powder also disappears. Bumble and Bumble Brownish Hair Powder and Maria Nila Cleansing Powder are examples of powder-form dry shampoos that our beauties love.

Cream dry shampoo: This dry shampoo has a creamier texture. This formula gives a particularly natural look, but takes more effort to apply. And that’s exactly what we’re trying to avoid when we choose dry shampoo. It should be quick and effective!

Dry shampoo spray: This is the most commonly used form of dry shampoo. It’s similar to powder-form dry shampoo, but a spray is naturally a little easier to apply.

Did you know that dry shampoo is also available in the form of wipes? I just looked into them, but this form appeals to me a little less. You want to feel that you’re applying something, and that’s harder to do with a wipe.

Protective UV Filter

Want to protect your hair from the sun as much as possible? Then a dry shampoo with a protective UV filter is a good choice. It protects your hair from damage, further drying, scalp sunburn, and discoloration. One way or another, dry shampoo itself can also cause dryness and sensitivity on the scalp. That’s why we recommend choosing a dry shampoo with a UV filter. This way, you can be sure your hair and scalp are optimally protected. Moroccanoil Light Tones Dry Shampoo is an example of a dry shampoo that protects hair from the sun’s harmful effects.

Extra features

The purpose of dry shampoo is to absorb oil from the hair. But dry shampoos can do much more than just that. For example, you can get colored dry shampoo, which lets you touch up your hair color where needed and extends its life. Bumble and Bumble Brownish Hair Powder is one example. Some dry shampoos also strengthen hair or add volume. Try the volumizing dry shampoo from Waterclouds or the strengthening dry shampoo from Mr.Smith.

How Do You Apply Dry Shampoo?

Always remember to treat dry shampoo as an emergency fix. So don’t use it regularly. In practice, we still come across many women who haven’t quite mastered how to use dry shampoo. Here are a few tips and things to keep in mind.

  • Never spray dry shampoo too close to your scalp. Hold it about 20-30cm away. Most sprays contain powder, which needs room to spread evenly. Don’t apply too much, and work from the bottom upward. You’re essentially lifting your locks!
  • Apply the shampoo to your roots. You’re not meant to spray your whole hairstyle flat with dry shampoo. Its purpose is to draw oils from the roots. That’s why you should try to avoid applying it around the roots, so you don’t damage your locks.  
  • Choosing powder or cream dry shampoo can help limit hair damage. These formulas are easier to apply just to the roots. So try to limit your use of dry shampoo; it’s not a replacement for regular shampoo!
