Top 10 most reviewed dry shampoos

Oily locks are an issue that plague everyone at one time or another. That greasy, icky feeling that comes after a gym session or too many days between washes.
So what is the best thing to do when an icky oil slick hits? Not all of us have time to rinse and lather our locks just before heading out the door, which is why it’s great to be able to grab a bottle of dry shampoo and provide your hair with a breath of fresh air and that just ‘washed’ feeling as it soaks up all of the oil on your scalp – and leaves you with a clean, fresh scent.

I think I used a dry shampoo once, many many years ago and it was awful. It put me right off and I've never used one again. Judging by these reviews though, they must have improved over the years so I'd be happy to give any of these a try now.

I was a regular user of Batiste until I tried Klorane. The smell of Batiste can get a little irritating and was starting to hurt my scalp so I made the change to Klorane and haven't looked back.

Have tried Cedel and Umberto Gianni they are ok, nothing like a quick shampoo instead, useful when Im travelling though.

I've used Kiorane in the past and found it great. Didn't leave any residue on my scalp. Its a godsend if you haven't got the time to wash your hair.

I've used Klorene before and it was awesome on my blonde hair. I'm a brunette at the moment though, so not sure if it will leave white residue. Some reviews say it does and some say it doesn't. I guess I'll just have to try it for myself :)

I have never tried a dry shampoo. I don't really 'get' them and would rather wash my hair.
