12 Dry Shampoos Perfect for Salty Summer Hair Woes

Here are 12 dry shampoos to try this summer!

Amika Perk Up Dry Shampoo
This vegan and sulfate-free formula is great for all hair types and will help you have the best second-day hair around. It's also talc-free so you don't have to worry about any white residue.

Target
Batiste Dry Shampoo Original
You won't regret grabbing a bottle of this dry shampoo on your next Target run. The subtle lavender, musk, and powder scent will offer a refreshing feel, and the formula contains keratin to make your hair smoother and shinier.

Sephora
Living Proof Perfect hair Day (PhD) Dry Shampoo
The fast-absorbing powders in this dry shampoo soak up all your oil and sweat to give you fresher-looking hair in minutes. Living Proof's patented healthy hair molecule reduces the surface friction of the powders so that it's easy to wash them out.

Sephora
Bumble and bumble Prêt-à-Powder Dry Shampoo Powder
Give your hair a boost with the powerhouse ingredients in this formula. Zea Mays and Tapioca starches, as well as Avena Sativa Kernel Flour, add texture and volume, while the Silica removes oil from your roots.

Sephora
Drybar Detox Dry Shampoo
We love that this product is cruelty-, sulfate-, and paraben-free. The rice powders in this formula are micro-fine so that they naturally blend with your hair color and once they absorb oil, they expand to provide your roots with volume. The Golden Root Extract adds some extra moisture to protect your hair from breakage.

Ulta Beauty
Not Your Mother's Clean Freak Dry Shampoo
This drugstore pick is great if you're on a budget. In addition to the price, we love that it barely leaves behind any fragrance, that way it's not in competition with our go-to perfume.

Sephora
Verb Dry Shampoo For Dark Hair
The white residue that dry shampoo can leave behind can be annoying, especially if you have dark hair. That's why colored dry shampoo is so great! It works on all hair types, and you won't have to worry about any white streaks. Have lighter hair? Try the Verb Dry Shampoo for Light Hair instead.

Sephora
IGK First Class Charcoal Detox Dry Shampoo
The charcoal found in this product helps to clean your hair and your scalp while it sucks up all the oil. Plus, it's odor-eliminating and scalp-soothing, making it the perfect pick for days you don't have time to wash your hair.

Walmart
Klorane Dry Shampoo With Oat Milk, Natural Tint
We love oat milk in our cold brew, but we never thought about adding it to our beauty products! This dry shampoo will suck up excess oil to give your hair new life.

Amazon
K18 AirWash Dry Shampoo
This is a fresh take on dry shampoo. This non-aerosol formula helps absorb excess oil while supporting a balanced scalp, leaving hair looking cleaner without the heavy, powdery buildup. It's perfect for extending the life of your blowout, refreshing second- or third-day hair, and keeping strands feeling light, soft, and touchable.

Sephora
Briogeo Scalp Revival Charcoal + Biotin Dry Shampoo
This clean beauty favorite refreshes hair without the heavy residue of traditional sprays. The non-aerosol formula uses detoxifying charcoal to absorb excess oil and impurities, while biotin and soothing ingredients help support a healthier-looking scalp. It's the perfect pick for extending your blowout, reviving post-workout hair, or adding a quick refresh between wash days—all while leaving your roots feeling light, clean, and refreshed.

Target
fine'ry. Without a Trace Dry Shampoo Spray
This is an affordable drugstore staple that instantly revives second- or third-day hair. The lightweight formula helps absorb excess oil, refreshes roots, and adds a touch of volume without leaving behind a heavy white cast or sticky residue. It's a quick, easy way to stretch time between washes and keep your hair looking freshly styled on busy days.
