14 Best Dry Shampoos on the Market, According to Our Editors

K18 Biomimetic Hairscience AirWash™ Dry Shampoo ($48)

"K18 is known for innovating, and its new Airwash Dry Shampoo further proves it. The non-aerosol spray bottle helps deliver the right amount of oil-absorbing product to your scalp without leaving behind any white residue, which is a dream if you have dark hair like me. The fine mist adds volume to my flat, fine hair without weighing it down." — Jessica Harrington, senior beauty editor

Bumble and Bumble Pret-a-Powder Post Workout Dry Shampoo Mist ($16)

"To be completely honest, I didn't have high hopes for this product, but I was absolutely floored by the results. My hair didn't feel gross or sweaty, and the product had truly soaked up all of the excess oil on my scalp. Plus, it smelled amazing, which was a far cry from the stench just a few minutes prior. My hair was wavy from being at the beach, but I was able to run a curling iron through it and make it look freshly styled." — Renee Rodriguez, staff writer and social producer

Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo ($43)

"I hate styling my hair, so when I finally muster up the energy to do it, I rely on the Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo to extend it as long as possible. Just a little bit goes a long way in keeping my roots looking clean and oil-free. It doesn't leave behind visible powder like other formulas, which is a must, as I have dark hair. I'm so obsessed, I keep one at work, one in my travel bag, and one at home." — JH

Olaplex No. 4D Clean Volume Detox Dry Shampoo ($30)

"When I first used the dry shampoo, it appeared like nothing came out, and I thought I'd forgotten to shake it before use. In reality, the formula is just clear, so it didn't leave behind any visible traces on my roots — a total game changer. I've used other dry shampoos before that claim to not leave behind white dust, but they still end up making my roots look a little chalky. That's not the case with this one, though. After working it in with my hands, it makes my hair feel truly clean without leaving behind any gritty residue. It also adds some volume to my roots, which is a major bonus as my fine hair gets flat after a few days." — JH

Amika Perk Up Dry Shampoo ($28)

"I'm obsessed with the Amika Perk Up Dry Shampoo. I fell in love a few years ago when I broke my ankle and washing my hair was nearly impossible. I've tried many, many dry shampoos, but none rival this colorful can. It covers any trace of greasy roots without any white residue (often a challenge for brunettes), feels cool and fresh on my scalp, and smells incredible. The scent is so intoxicating that I actually get compliments on it regularly — the brand says it's a mix of vanilla, citrus, and clover. I bought Amika's room spray in the same scent because I love it that much." — Joanna Douglas, executive director, Native

Klorane Ultra-Gentle Dry Shampoo With Oat Milk ($24)

"The Klorane Ultra-Gentle Dry Shampoo With Oat Milk is the only one that freshens up my hair (which tends to get oily FAST) without feeling like I had to use 100 pounds of dry shampoo." — Zareen Siddiqui, director, partnerships and growth

"Any time I finish a bottle of the Klorane Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk, only the soundtrack of Celine Dion's 'My Heart Will Go On' could describe my mourning. It's loaded with heavy-duty, oil-absorbing powders that make it the hands-down best on the market, and it's the only formula that makes my hair look fresh as the first day — after you've brushed out the white residue, of course. Luckily, I don't mind that part, because to me, that just proves it's working." — Kelsey Castañon, senior content director

Moroccanoil Dry Shampoo Dark Tones Mini ($12)

"A few years ago, I was at the point where I felt like I'd tried every dry shampoo on the market. I had tested out drugstore brands as well as salon-quality formulas, and I was close to concluding that dry shampoo just plain didn't work. That changed the first time I tried Moroccanoil Dry Shampoo Dark Tones Mini. After just one use, I knew I would love the product forever. It didn't weigh down my hair but instead left my hair silky-smooth and soft to the touch. It absorbed quickly and without leaving a white cast, thanks to the darker tint. It also didn't make my hair feel sticky or powdery. It added body to my hair, all while making it smell like a combination of musk, vanilla, and citrus." — RR

Vegamour GRO Dry Shampoo ($36)

"I have thin, fine hair, and most dry shampoos weigh my hair down. This product not only smells amazing, but it actually is formulated for thin hair. Plant-based phytoactives help hair look fuller at the root, and it's made without talc, so it's safe for everyday use." — RR

Kristin Ess Style Reviving Dry Shampoo ($15)

"Not only does the Kristin Ess Style Reviving Dry Shampoo have an amazing, fresh smell, it also doesn't make my brunette hair look too chalky. A few sprays of this gives me volume and texture without feeling like I have product build-up at my roots." — Macy Cate Williams, former content director, Shop

Batiste Dry Shampoo in Fresh ($13)

"Batiste Dry Shampoo in Fresh is the perfect in-between dry shampoo. It's super affordable, which is a good thing because you'll blow through bottle after bottle. It feels light on your hair and smells great, and doesn't leave a weird buildup after using it for a few days. Just last week I went without shampooing for an alarming five days, and guess what? No one could tell." — Mandy Harris, former executive editor

Colab Dry Shampoo ($6)

"I picked up a bottle of the Colab Dry Shampoo during my last trip to London because I was too busy sightseeing to properly wash my hair and didn't bring any dry shampoo along with me. It's super light and doesn't leave any residue, so it's my new go-to all the time." — Hedy Phillips, former contributing editor

Drybar Detox Clear Invisible Dry Shampoo ($28)

"The Drybar Detox Clear Invisible Dry Shampoo somehow makes my sweaty, third-day hair look freshly washed with just a few spritzes. I use it post-morning workout and pre-commute into work by pressing down on its spray dispenser and targeting my slick roots. I massage the clear liquid into the area for faster absorption, throw it into my bag, and head into the office. The best part is it never, ever leaves a white residue." — Jesa Marie Calaor, former assistant editor, Beauty

Rossano Ferretti Parma Dry Shampoo Cream ($20)

"If you're tired of aerosol dry shampoos, you're going to want to give the Rossano Ferretti Parma Dry Shampoo Cream a spin. It works to keep hair fresh without drying it out, and it's formulated for all hair types." — RR
