17 dry shampoos for people who hate washing their hair every day

We’ve all been there: the alarm goes off, we roll over and fall right back to sleep until we wake up with a start and realize we’ve got 15 minutes to run out the front door and make it to work on time. A shower is out of the question, much less washing your hair, so what’s a person to do? Dry shampoo is and always will be the answer to our problems.

Whether you’re running late, are feeling a bit lazy and don’t want to wash your hair, or simply like how it looks when it’s a bit messed up, a spritz of dry shampoo can revitalize your hair and make it look good as new with minimal effort.
