You can always count on dry shampoo to save you from a bad hair day. Here are the best vegan dry shampoos to boost volume and keep your roots grease-free until the next hair wash day!

When to use vegan dry shampoo?

Dry shampoo is often used to remove excess oil and refresh your hair between washes. For instance, I work out every day but I only wash my hair every other day and vegan dry shampoo is an absolute staple for me.

But vegan dry shampoo can also be used to boost volume at the roots even if your hair is not dirty or to add some texture if your hair is looking a bit flat and is hard to style.

How to use vegan dry shampoo?

If it’s a powder, simply sprinkle a little bit on your roots then massage with the tip of your fingers and brush through (with your hands or a brush). I love flipping my hair upside down when massaging so that I get even more volume.

If you choose a spray, simply hold the product 15cm away from your roots and spray evenly. Then massage, let the product work its magic and proceed with styling!
