Lathering up every day isn’t recommended for maintaining silky strands, but by no means are greasy roots a preferable alternative. That being said, if the market’s newest formulas are any indication, dry shampoos are only getting better as the beauty world’s aversion to suds grows stronger. Here, two new front-runners for clean hair in a can:
Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo
Spin addicts with blow-outs to preserve, consider the techy beauty brand’s latest launch your new solution. This dry shampoo goes above and beyond its competitors by promising clean strands—not just “dirty hair in hiding.” Instead of mattifying roots and leaving behind a residue that many companies masquerade as texture, the powder in Living Proof’s formula is designed to absorb oil and sweat (most dry shampoos typically tackle only sebum) in 30 seconds. Patented molecules that reduce friction on the surface of hair allow you to seamlessly brush it out, while the time-release fragrance component leaves your length smelling as fresh as it feels.
US $22; AED/SAR 81, available in September at livingproof.com
Elizabeth and James Nirvana Dry Shampoo
To take their already cult-favorite Elizabeth and James Nirvana collection to the next level, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen crafted a “fine fragrance” version of the product long employed by their go-to hairstylist, Mark Townsend: dry shampoo. Infused with Nirvana White (a light floral musk) or Nirvana Black (a warm woodsy blend), these sprays are a foolproof way to wear perfume and achieve the Olsens’ signature, bed-head-y waves.
