Let’s face it: we have all had those days when we’ve either woken up too late to shower, had really flat, lifeless hair that needed some volume, or have just been too lazy to shower. (Hey, it happens!) No matter what your situation, there is a solution to your problem: dry shampoo!

Dry shampoo is an essential part of my hair care routine, as I have very thin, flat, long, lifeless hair – I need a little volume in my life and that’s exactly what dry shampoo provides: volume, body, and the look of extremely clean hair. Not to mention, most brands usually smell amazing!

Below, I’ll break down how to use dry shampoo, as well as share a few of my favorite budget-conscious ones to try. Read on to learn more:

My Favorite Dry Shampoos

1) Pssssst!

This is one of my new favorites. It’s extremely volumizing with a fresh, floral-y scent and gives your hair lots of shine. This can be found at Ulta for about $6 – a fab budget-friendly buy!

2) Batiste

This dry shampoo is really great for your hair if it really isn’t that greasy, but you need a little bit of life and fluff to your hair. This one adds a nice shine, but its main focus is on making your hair look and feel extremely soft, loose, and flow-y!

Batiste comes in several different scents, but the one I love most smells just like cherries – so amazing. You can find this at Ulta, Sally Beauty Supply, and sometimes even Urban Outfitters for about $6 or $7!

3) Oscar Blandi Pronto Dry Shampoo

This one is really great for those days when your hair is incredibly and visibly greasy, as it adds shine, fluff, volume, texture, and reallymakes it look like you just washed your hair! This product volumizes and easily reduces the oils and removes product build-ups that are in your hair – and it smells like lemons so that’s amazing.
