4 amazing dry shampoos every brunette should know about

Dannielle Beardsley

Washing your hair every single day just isn’t going to happen. Not only does it strip your mane of necessary oils, but it’s also extremely time-consuming. Thank goodness for dry shampoo, right? For those days when you don’t want to, or maybe can’t, wash your hair, dry shampoo is there to save the day, keeping your hair voluminous and grease-free.

If you’re a brunette, though, watch out. Dry shampoo can leave a white residue, often confused for dandruff, that’s much more visible on darker hair. No need to fear — we’re here to bring a few dry shampoos that will keep your mane clean and residue-free.
