The 5 Best Dry Shampoo Products for Your Red Hair

All tested & approved!

Edited: May 13, 2022 
We all know it’s not ideal to wash your red hair on a daily basis since it can strip the hair of its natural oils. And you want to keep your red hair looking its best, right? But what’s a gal to do when her locks get greasy from skipping a wash? Well, a good dry shampoo can help you with that.

For the best results with dry shampoo, spray (or rub) some on your roots before you head to bed because your scalp produces oil overnight. Using a dry shampoo at night will prevent you from waking up with any extra grease.  And you can always give yourself a little extra spritz in the morning before you walk out the door to make sure your gorgeous red tresses are looking extra fresh and clean.

Try one of these “redhead friendly” approved dry shampoos to help you get through those unwashed days.
