Dry shampoo has been in our haircare arsenal (and our mother’s and even our grandmother’s) for years, but it does come with its faults. Many of the sprays leave our hair coated with a white, almost dandruff-like residue and feeling parched too.
Dry conditioner avoids both of these pesky issues. It’s formulated to sop up excess oil, extend styles, and deeply hydrate strands. The result? Satin-like locks, sans the clumpy whiteness. Below, our favorite dry conditioners for clean, soft hair — without having to hit the showers.
