I am the perfect candidate for dry shampoo: my hair is fine and I work out a lot, meaning my roots get greasy quickly. I'm pretty sure I've tried almost every single dry shampoo formula out there and, to be honest, there are only three that don't gunk up my roots even more and weigh down my already limp strands of hair. The Living Proof PHD Dry Shampoo (£18) is one of those three. It works a bit differently than most dry shampoos because the powder in the formula removes excess oil and sweat rather than absorbing it, leaving your hair (almost) as light and airy as it was pre-workout or on the first day after a blowout.
That means you have to use it a bit differently: Spray the powder throughout your roots, wait 30 seconds for the powder in the formula to sop up all the excess oil and sweat, then massage and shake out your roots with your fingers or a brush. You'll actually see the white flakes falling out of your hair, but don't worry, that's not dandruff. That's just all the dirt in your hair being lifted away.
