I don't know about you, but I don't need to be told twice not to wash my hair every day.
Skipping the step for a day (or, if you're like me, four) can be a huge timesaver. Plus, hairstylists tend to agree that spacing out washes can be beneficial for your locks, since lathering up too often may cause an imbalance in your natural oils, make color-treated hair fade and even lead to scalp irritation.
That being said, no matter how long you leave between washes, there usually comes a point where your hair needs a refresh. That's when dry shampoo comes in hand.
Whether you want to stretch a blowout for a few more days, get rid of grease or want to quickly spruce up after a sweaty workout, there are plenty of formulas that deliver. Below, we rounded up the 10 bestselling options that will become your new BFF between washes. From celeb-loved sprays to an aerosol-free pick, these are the dry shampoos that you (and your hair) will love.
