One of the best cosmetics inventions in recent history, to us, dry shampoo is 30 minutes of spare time in a can. Ideal for when you’ve overslept; or when you’re trying to preserve yesterday’s pricey blow-dry; or when you’ve got a wine hangover, a quick spritz and a brush-through can save you a world of styling pain.
Now Herbal Essences have added three new options to what used to be a rather limited choice. Our favourite? Clearly Naked Dry Shampoo. Formulated with natural tapioca and infused with mint, this is the best one to reach for if you’ve overdone it the night before. Refreshing and invigorating, it leaves hair soft and full looking.
According to Herbal Essences Ambassador and celeb stylist Ben Cooke, there’s a knack to getting the best out of your dry shampoo: “My top tip is to spray a little at a time and gradually build up – less is definitely more. Shake the bottle really well, then spray directly onto the roots. Allow the formula to absorb and then massage through with your fingertips. Finally, brush out as desired,”
