13 Dry Shampoos That Might Just Transform Your Morning Routine

Best Dry Shampoos

Dry shampoo wasn’t around when I was in college, but thankfully, it became a thing once I was a mom — and I cannot even tell you how many times it’s saved me and my messy top-knot.

It’s an age-old tale that mornings with kids are rushed and chaotic. Our children wake us up at an unnatural hour and immediately demand that we feed them. If they’re little, they want to play, and if they’re older … well, you’ll be spending half your morning reminding them not to forget that book report/pop quiz/after school practice.

Somewhere in the middle of all that, we’re expected to get ourselves ready, too, which is no easy feat. Sometimes that means simply trying to change out of your tattered yoga pants into your less tattered yoga pants. Other times, it means putting on a suit to prepare for an important presentation at work.

It doesn’t matter where we are in life, though — dry shampoo saves us precious time in the morning and keeps us looking human. And for that we are forever grateful.

Here’s a list of some tried-and-true dry shampoos to try.
