“I received Virtue Labs Refresh Dry Shampoo ($44) after I interviewed Adir Abergel at TIFF in 2018, who insisted I take one with me (he’s the brand’s creative director). I used this down to the last drop. It didn’t leave a white cast and provided excellent volume.”

“Klorane Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk ($16) is the GOAT. It makes greasy hair ungreasy, which is obviously the goal of all dry shampoos, but inexplicably, many I’ve come across just…don’t. It works its magic stealthily: it isn’t sticky or overly fragranced and it doesn’t leave a white cast in your hair. Basically, it’s like you took a shower without the shower. J’adore.”

“Dry shampoo is one of my essential beauty products. I have thick, pin-straight hair (doesn’t hold curls, doubt it ever will) and bangs, which get stringy with grease by lunch time. The frequency with which I wash my hair depends on the season and how warm it is. In the winter, I can get away with washing my hair every other day but I’m usually relying on dry shampoo to get me through the second day. I’ve only ever used products in aerosol cans which are convenient but also spray a lot of the powder into the air. The pump dispenser on Voir She’s Like the Wind Invisible Dry Shampoo and Conditioner ($25) is surprisingly easy to use and distributes a small amount of product that allows me to control where I want it. My hair feels super soft and the scent is light enough to feel refreshing, and not headache-inducing like the other heavily-fragranced dry shampoos I’ve tried. Best of all, the white powder blends with minimal effort into my black hair – no grey cast!”

“I have super curly hair so I never actually use dry shampoo unless I get a blowout and am trying to stretch out its lifespan. When I got the chance to try Batiste Waterless Cleaning Foam ($13) I was nervous that the foam texture would turn my straight roots back to curly, but that was not an issue. My blow-dried and flat-ironed hair was instantly refreshed, less oily and more voluminous.”
