I have never used dry shampoo before because of my dry, thick, frizzy hair that usually doesn’t go well with dry shampoos. But lately I’ve found it to be a bit of a life saver. My roots tend to grow back a lot if I do a lot of gel or mousse, so a splash here and there really helps prevent oiliness. Celebrity hair stylist Michelle Cleveland agrees: “If I was stuck on an island with only one hair product to choose from, it would be 1000% dry shampoo! because girls with thin hair can give you volume and texture.”
I think you could say that this opinion of the stylist is the reason why I have completely changed now. Having said that, I will let you all know about the ones that stylists use and love exclusively. For all their favorites and some tips on how to apply dry shampoo for oily hair, read on.
When using dry shampoo, hold it 4-6 inches from hair and spray directly onto roots. You need to start where your hair seems to be the most oily and apply the product in sections. This ensures that you do not leave greasy stains in hard to reach places. If you have fine hair, you may not need to work in sections, but this is especially important if you have thicker hair. If you have curly hair, celebrity colorist Ashley Marie has another special tip for using dry shampoo. “I recommend applying a layer of oil to the ends of your hair to keep it moist and prevent it from drying out before spraying dry shampoo,” she says.

“It’s great for curly and fine hair because it’s so light yet absorbent,” Cleveland.
“I like to use it right after washing because it gives me a lot of volume and absorbs oils as they go through.” – Cleveland.
“With the addition of rice and cornstarch, it’s great for those with very thick hair,” Cleveland.
“This is a very light and clean product for those with fine hair who are afraid to comb it. As a bonus, it smells great!” – Cleveland.
“I have been using it for years! I think every one of my clients has this product. It uses rice flour to absorb oil and create volume and texture. It’s white, so be sure to rub it into your roots. I especially like blonde to lighten the roots when they look a little dark.” – Mary
