DRY CLEAN YOUR DO: Wash Your Hair Without Water

The ponytail…the headband…the big floppy hat…when there’s no time for a wash, we’ve all had to cover up our dirty hair.
But ladies, it’s finally time to let go of your boyfriend’s baseball cap thanks to one of the most ingenious and time-saving beauty products of all time: dry shampoo! This invention is even better than those little wheels on luggage.
Never used it before? Here’s the lowdown: Typically made from starch or talc, dry shampoo is designed to refresh your hair without water by absorbing excess oil. It’s not only extremely convenient, but also helps save your precious locks from excess heat damage and prevents colored hair from fading. Genius!
Expect to be fully hooked after trying one of our picks below. And when you develop a dependency on the stuff, don’t say we didn’t warn you.
Best all around: Batiste. Offered in several different spray formulas, including tropical scented and colored (for black or brown hair), these dry shampoos hold their own against luxury brand alternatives, at a quarter of the price.


Got 2b Fat-tastic Fresh and Full Dry ShampooTop volume-boosting: Got 2b Fat-tastic Fresh & Full Dry Shampoo. Freshen up your style and give your locks some extra oomph with this spray, which can be found at drugstores for around $6.


Oscar Blandi Pronto Dry ShampooMost splurge-worthy: Oscar Blandi Pronto Dry Shampoo. Made with rice and oat starches and tea tree oil, this loose powder is meant to clean the hair and nourish the scalp. But luxury will cost you — $19 for a 2.5-oz. bottle, to be exact.
