Dry shampoos are the perfect pick-us-up whenever you’re feeling a bit lazy but looking for a refreshed look. But did you know there’s also a more practical reason for it? You have probably heard once or twice that it’s against the laws of grooming to wash your hair every day. Spoiler alert: It’s true. But why? Sebum. You see, sebum is an excess oily substance your body produces naturally to defend your skin. Sebum moisturizes, protects, and coats your body’s outer barrier. Here are the best dry shampoos for men you should consider.

10 Best Dry Shampoos For Men
Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray
The most best dry shampoos for men don’t come with any white residue. They also add depth, texture, and volume and smell mighty fine as they work to absorb excess oil. You’ll need to hide this one, from Oribe, from your partner because trust me, they’ll want to steal it. It lifts the grease out of your hair but definitely not the shine.
Briogeo Scalp Revival
If you’re super concerned about scalp health after reading the intro to this article, then Briogeo’s Scalp Revival is for you. This formula has been carefully crafted with something called Binchotan charcoal. It’s a natural, three-starch blend that absorbs excess oil. It also contains witch hazel, which normalizes oil production, and biotin, which nourishes the hair follicle to support healthy hair growth.
Davines This is a Texturizing Dust
There’s no BS in this name, and there’s no residue when you apply this powder. Just sprinkle it onto your roots and massage it in.
Sachajuan Dark Volume Powder
Most dry shampoo sprays leave a white residue, and it’s embarrassing if you forget to massage it in. Here’s one for guys with dark hair, just to ensure that you aren’t left with any unsightly white streaks. (Apply it before you put on the white Oxford, though).
Psssst!
Every product has its drugstore standby, and you know what? You still can’t go wrong with this one. It’s a little heavier on residue, but for this price, you can justify the extra seconds needed to distribute the product.
OGX Refresh & Balance Dry Shampoo
OGX products often show up on lists of the best dry shampoo for men, and for good reason. With its combination of tea tree and mint, the OGX Refresh & Balance + Tea Tree Mint Dry Shampoo keeps you smelling fresh while providing texture and a healthy glow at the same time. This shampoo also works to give your senses a treat as the refreshing blend of tea tree oil, witch hazel and peppermint oil deliver a complex yet refreshing experience. This is a great choice for anyone looking for smoother, fuller and bouncier hair without having to step into the shower every 12 hours.
