Let’s be honest, there are days when you’re feeling yourself and want to bump into everyone you’ve ever known at the local supermarket. Chances are, those days aren’t the second-hair days where your hair is a little flat and a lot greasy. That is, until now. At this year’s Cosmo Beauty Awards, we tried every dry shampoo there is to find the best of the best for those days where you just don’t have the time to wash, dry and style your locks. Here are the brands that made our Best Dry Shampoo shortlist.
1. Batiste Dry Shampoo
Batiste gives you that salon-fresh ‘do in thirty seconds flat – complete with the va-va-volume we’re always longing for. Dhs26 on Amazon.
