You always want what you can’t have — especially when it comes to beauty products. That’s why we’re getting the inside scoop from your favorite retailers on what’s selling out right now, how to sign up for waitlists, and where to go to find the next best thing. Because if everyone’s buying it, you know it’s got to be good.
You know how slicking on a layer of red lipstick instantly makes you feel better? Well, in our opinion, dry shampoo has the same effect — but for our hair. It doesn't just refresh our strands, it boosts confidence (and volume) with every powdery spritz.
But here's the thing: dry shampoo does so much more than simply soak up unwanted oil. We use dry shampoo to inject oomph into wayward strands, zhuzh and refresh a dull mid-day hairstyle, and even as a hair perfume.
So, given this product's quasi-magical abilities, it didn't come as a surprise when we discovered that Living Proof's Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo is one of Birchbox's best sellers. The product has over 10,000 reviews on the retailer's site, many of which are glowing accounts of its oil-sopping abilities. (More on what makes it so special, here.)
Itching to give this bottle a try? We don't blame you. But if the stock is wiped clean before you can commit, we've gathered four other A+ dry shampoos that will fulfill all your oil-absorbing and hair-zhuzhing needs. Check them out in the slides, ahead.
Although this spray goes on stark white, after a quick finger-shaking, (or a brief pass of your hair brush) the white powder disappears from your hair to reveal the cleanest and most voluminous tresses.
Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo, $22, available at Birchbox.
If you're partial to non-aerosol dry shampoos, this might be more to your liking. Klorane's is a classic and just requires a few squeezes of the bottle to disperse the fine powder through your roots. Once it's distributed, give your hair a light tousle and you're all set.
Klorane Dry Shampoo With Oat Milk, $20, available at Sephora.
This nearly undetectable dry shampoo makes our hair feel refreshed without leaving any residue. It doesn't hurt that the bottle is gorgeous, too.
Amika Perk Up Dry Shampoo, $24, available at Birchbox.
Looking for a dry shampoo that doubles as a hair perfume? This one is definitely the way to go. Not only does it absorb oil and improve texture, but the spray smells like Elizabeth and James' popular Nirvana White fragrance.
Elizabeth and James Nirvana White Dry Shampoo, $28, available at Sephora.
But we know that heavily fragranced products aren't for everyone. So, for those of you who want to keep your dry shampoo usage discrete, check out this unscented version.
Not Your Mother's Clean Freak Refreshing Dry Shampoo, $4.58, available at Walmart.
