Make limp, greasy hair a thing of the past—these eight dry shampoos are your one-stop shop for voluminous, fresh-feeling day-old hair.
If there’s one thing that rings true about our climate, it’s that the humid, tropical heat does our tresses absolutely no favours. Frizz is one thing, but the grease that pools on the scalp in just one day is the real kicker.
Let’s be real—if you’re not washing your hair every day, you’re probably rocking a slick back on the regular. And, if you’ve spent hours froofing and fluffing up your hair for maximum volume, you’re probably watching said volume fall just a few hours later. So, what’s the solution here?
Fortunately, that part is simple. Whether you’re looking to extend the period between wash days or you’re looking for a way to keep your hair airy and voluminous, there’s one product that does it all: dry shampoo. Use it on unwashed hair to revive your roots and keep the grease away, or use it on freshly washed hair to boost volume and longevity in one step.
From revolutionary textures to volumising multitaskers, we’ve rounded up our favourite formulations to score locally. Find the full list ahead:

Just twist the locking top, dispense a little powder onto your roots and shake it out for fabulous day-two tresses!
