Dry Shampoo at a Price That's Right For You

Like all beauty products, dry shampoo can range from drugstore-level to way too expensive. That said, there are some amazing options at every price range. With all of these options, an important pro tip to remember is to put some of the dry shampoo on your hair when it’s clean (I know!) because it will sop up all of the oil right as it appears. Now that we got that out of the way, here are the best dry shampoos that you can find at your local pharmacy, as well as the luxury options that are actually worth the splurge.

Amazing Drugstore Options

Batiste Dry Shampoo, Original Fragrance

This dry shampoo is as classic as it gets, and it’s the perfect option to keep on-hand. It has a clean fragrance and dispenses the perfect amount every single time so that it’s easy to target your problem areas.

BUY IT: Amazon, $8.99

Not Your Mother's Best Sellers Dry Shampoo

This is the perfect way to try out all of the best options from this brand, which is absolutely amazing. While they will all prevent your hair from looking dirty, the texturizing spray will also help it hold style during a blowout and the body-building option will give you volume for days.

BUY IT: Amazon, $16.49

Dove Dry Shampoo

This dry shampoo really leaves your hair feeling clean and looking voluminous. It also provides a nice burst of texture.

BUY IT: Amazon, $14.64

Mid Level

DryBar Mini Detox Dry Shampoo

To me, this is the best travel-sized dry shampoo available. Not only is the bottle super narrow and easily-packable, it emits the most perfect spray. It’s also very effective at soaking up oil and grime.

BUY IT: Sephora, $14.00

Virtue Refresh Dry Shampoo

Not only does this brand make clean products, they all smell absolutely amazing. The best part about this formula is that it’s completely clear, so you don’t have to worry about any powdery residue being leftover at your roots.

BUY IT: Sephora, $17.00

IGK First Class Charcoal Detox Dry Shampoo

This formula contains charcoal and white tea powders to help absorb oil and detox the skin scalp. It’s also very soothing and good for scalps that are sensitive to irritation.

BUY IT: Sephora, $29.00

Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Joia Refreshing Dry Shampoo

You will immediately find yourself getting compliments on the beautiful and beachy scent of this dry shampoo. In addition to leaving hair feeling more clean, it adds in a punch of volume.

BUY IT: Sephora, $24.00

High End

Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray

This is definitely the most luxe option on the list, but rest assured that a little goes a long way. It also manages to take care of the oil without drying out your strands, which is all thanks to mango and aloe extracts.

BUY IT: Sephora, $49.00

OUAI Super Dry Shampoo

This formula uses rice starch and volcanic minerals to clean and detoxify the scalp. It really leaves your hair feeling super clean, and not just like you’re trying to mask the time between shampoos.

BUY IT: Sephora, $26.00

Living Proof Perfect hair Day (PhD) Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo

The original version of the Living Proof dry shampoo was great, but this one is simply amazing. The best part is that such a small amount goes so far. For the best results, make sure you spray it on your head, wait 30-seconds and then massage it into your roots.

BUY IT: Sephora, $30.00
