The Best Dry Shampoos for Every Hair Concern

Tired of excess oil plaguing your second or third-day hair (or even the first day, during those summer months)? Us too! That’s why our beauty editor has put our strand-freshening collection of dry shampoos to the test, helping to minimise the guesswork so you can find the perfect formula to suit your hair type: from the best volumisers for fine, flat hair, to the fan-favourites for itchy, sensitive scalps (and everything inbetween)…

Editor’s Note: I have a lot of very fine hair which is prone to visible oil that flattens my strands at the root. This formula gives my second-day hair a new lease of life without making me feel like I have a load of product weighing down my scalp.

Editor’s Note: One of the most lightweight dry shampoos I’ve tried. Brushes through easily without leaving behind a chalky white residue. My top tip? Apply before bed so the formula can absorb those excess oils while you sleep.

Editor’s Note: This smells divine – one of the nicest-scented dry shampoos, in my opinion. I always assume products for itchy scalps will have a clinical smell, or no smell at all, but this one is lovely and doesn’t irritate me throughout the day.

Editor’s Note: If you’re somebody with super-long locks prone to limp roots weighed down by oil, this one is great for quick touch-ups without the tell-tale chalky residue, providing lift for longer lengths as well as freshness. It smells amazing too!
