The Best & Worst Dry Shampoos to Buy

We love dry shampoos! In fact, anything that claims to refresh greasy hair, uplift the flat scalp and soak up oil from the strands should officially replace your BAE.

If you haven’t jumped on the dry shampoo bandwagon yet, you’re missing out on the best hair hack of all time. Available in powder or spray form, all dry shampoos pretty much promise the same things – clean hair, fresh smell, no oil and a volume boost, but not all of them live up to the expectations. While some become your life-savers, others just leave you with white powdery hair.

In case you’re planning to buy your first or next dry shampoo, we’ve listed down the best and worst ones below.

1. Batiste Original Fragrance Dry Shampoo

The OG dry shampoo - Batiste shook up the haircare industry when it first launched its dry shampoo. A miracle worker, it works on all hair types. You can choose from various fragrances, but the Batiste Original Fragrance Dry Shampoo remains a cult favourite.

It soaks up oil and dirt between washes, leaving it feeling gorgeously clean and fresh with added body and texture.

2. Lee Stafford Original Dry Shampoo

A star with countless beauty awards, the Lee Stafford Original Dry Shampoo comes with super absorbent powder that revives dull greasy hair while also giving it a refreshing boost.

3. Living Proof Perfect hair Day (PhD) Dry Shampoo

Often at the top spot, Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Shampoo cleanses your hair strands just like a normal shampoo minus the water mess. Its authentic formula not just removes oil but sweat and odour too. The plus point: It's paraben and sulphate free!

4. Ouai Dry Shampoo

Created by hairstylist to the Kardashians, Jen Atkins, the Ouai Dry Shampoo is known for its neutralising power that blocks oil and greasiness leaving hair instantly refreshed with a light, airy scent. Seriously, this stuff smells like heaven.

5. Klorane Gentle Dry Shampoo

Klorane’s lightweight formula cleanses and refreshes your hair while giving a little volume. Highly recommended for people with sensitive scalps.

The Worst Dry Shampoos

1. Herbal Essence Naked Volume Dry Shampoo

Herbal Essence Naked Volume Dry Shampoo's main fault lies in the defective packaging. The formula doesn't stay inside the bottle and often spills out leaving little to use.

2. Tresemme Fresh Start Volumising Dry Shampoo

Unlike other Tresemme’s other hair care product, its volumising dry shampoo doesn't get our vote. The product leaves behind a sticky residue, making the hair greasier than it was to begin with.

3. Bed Head Oh Bee Hive! Matte Dry Shampoo

Before we talk about what's inside, let's just say the name Bee Hive doesn't really help much when you are selling a haircare product. This product leaves behind a white residue that is very difficult to shake off. This one is a pass for us!
