Dry shampoos can be alcohol or starch-based and soak up extra oil from the hair and scalp.

Anyone wanting glossy and voluminous hair should know that dry shampoos can be a lifesaver. We’ll walk you through all the different aspects to consider before buying one. The first thing you should consider is what type of formula is best suited to your hair type. The two most common types of dry shampoo are aerosol and non-aerosol. If you have coarse or thick hair, you should opt for an aerosol spray as it will be easier to apply. If you have fine or thin hair, a non-aerosol dry shampoo might be a better option because it can help add some extra volume. After your hair type, the next step is to check the ingredients list on the back of the product. Ideally, you want to look for a dry shampoo free of chemicals like sulfates, parabens, and phthalates, which can be damaging to your hair and scalp. Finally, think about how you’ll be using the dry shampoo. If you’re looking to freshen up a specific area, non-aerosol options can be more precise; if you’re looking to freshen up your entire head of hair, an aerosol spray is a better option.
