- Hello, welcome back.
My name is Millie.
I'm the customer experience.
- I am the customer...
- I am the customer experience.
I'm a part of the customer experience team
here at Adore Beauty.
Today, we're going to have a little bit of a chat
about some of my favourite dry shampoos.
I'm also going to give you some tips and tricks
on how to get the best out of your dry shampoo
and even just a bit of an insight
on why you would kind of step up to something
maybe a little bit boujee'er then perhaps your bargain price
dry shampoos that you are going to find in the supermarket.
But when you think dry shampoo, you do think aerosol.
However, there are other options as well.
So you do have the option of a paste
and you also have an option of a powder.
The main kind of component with when you would choose
which formula it's honestly just personal preference.
If you do have darker hair,
I would stay away from more of the talcum based ones
just as they can be a little bit more white
and they can kind of show.
Alrighty. So before we go into a bit of a product breakdown
I just want to give you a couple little tips, tricks
and little things that I've learned
over my many years of using a dry shampoo.
When you do use dry shampoo, you want to use it
from about five to six centimetres away from the scalp.
You want a section where you want to use it.
A couple of quick spritzes and kind of a moving motion.
You want to leave it for like a minute or two,
brush your teeth put on your lipstick,
whatever you need to do.
And then you want to really massage it into the scalp.
This is what's going to help with that flawless look.
You're not going to see any chalky residue.
You're not going to see any white patches.
You're not even going to know that it's there.
Plus it's going to give you a little boost of volume.
Another really great tip.
When I have freshly washed my hair
before I'm about to go to bed for the second day.
This is when I'll use dry shampoo.
So I've washed my hair in the morning, right?
She's taken off her makeup, put on her skincare.
And before I'm about to go to bed,
I give a bit of a spritz of my dry shampoo,
always in the areas that I find
that my scalp gets oiler most.
A couple little spritzes, go to bed,
sleep on your silk pillow case.
Cause that's the best thing you can do for your hair.
And when you wake up, not only are you going to find
that the dry shampoo has really worked itself into your hair
you're gonna have incredible volume,
your hair is going to feel just as clean
as that perfect first day.
When your scalp gets oilier the most
if it's the third or the fourth day
then you want to do it on the second day.
If it's the fourth, you would do it on the third day.
So that's kind of my best, my best tip when you're using it.
- So have I been doing it wrong because I put dry shampoo
on after my hair is already oily,
- It'll still help. It's still gonna help.
But the best like function you can kind of do.
If you get it before it even gets oily.
The reason your hair gets oily is because
the follicle has like in your scalp,
you've got like a little sebum patch
the follicle will release some sebum and that's why,
because oil is actually good for your hair.
Like oil is like aesthetically, not great.
We don't love her. We're like, no, go away.
But oil in the hair is actually how it, you know
the scalps moisturising itself,
it's strengthening your hair,
it's protecting your hair even.
So you don't want to completely strip it
of all of those oils.
But you just want to take away the look of it.
If you are an avid user and you're using it every single day
up until your next wash.
And I would give it a really good scrub.
So I would use like a scalp scrub
or like a cleansing shampoo, say something like,
like your Kevin Murphy maxi wash, your Eleven deep clean.
Something that's gonna really help to remove
that build up off the scalp.
My top favourites would be the IGK dry shampoos.
Now the reason I really, really, really enjoy these
is that there's a level.
So depending on how oily your hair gets.
So it's called direct flush. Also the packaging, gorgeous.
I really, really, really like her
just as like a lighter kind of spritz.
So starting on like my first day
I would start with something like this.
Once I found that my scalp started to produce like the oil
I'm looking at my second or my third day
that's where I really love First Class.
It is your heavy duty in a bottle.
So these ones you are looking at about $42.
The more like professional, dry shampoos,
you are going to be looking
at a little bit of a higher cost.
Now there is multiple reasons for this.
You're paying for the formulation,
you're paying for the ingredients.
Some of the supermarket dry shampoos might have
a higher quantity of talcum powder in the formula.
So that means it's still gonna soak up the oil.
It just means that you're getting more of that
white like powdery residue.
So that's where you might find, you know, when you step up
to something a little bit more higher quality,
you might find that, you know, you get less of that residue,
you get a little bit more out of the product,
you don't have to use it as much.
Another one of my favourites is the Mrs Smith dry shampoo.
A. Oh there's a hair on it.
- You can't go past their packaging.
I am a sucker for a minimalist as well.
This one also smells incredible.
Their scents are one of my all-time favourites.
They're very like Australian plant kind of based.
So it's all very fresh ingredients.
It's not as heavy duty as, you know, most dry shampoos,
but it does make the hair feel nicer and smell nicer.
So if that's more what you're looking for,
if you're looking for something, that's just like
that medium kind of hold with the dry shampoo
then this one would be the one that I would go towards.
Another one, speaking of scents,
is one of my all time favourites.
And I do not stop yapping on about this one.
And it is the Eleven Give Me Clean Hair.
Sometimes I'll just spray it and be like, ah delicious.
Eleven can honestly do no wrong with their styling products.
You can't beat them like price-wise.
So this one is $24.95 and it is a 208 ml as well.
It is an aerosol, not much to complain about that.
The last aerosol that I really enjoy.
And this one is a hidden gem.
It's the Klorane.
It is the dry shampoo and it's got nettle in it as well.
So nettle is really, really, really
great for oil absorption and what not.
You're only looking at about $16 for this one as well.
This one's a little bit more handbag friendly.
It feels a little bit more like heavier kind of duty.
It doesn't feel like powdery.
So if I'm feeling a little bit lazy and I only want
to wash my hair once a week, I'll reach, definitely reach
for something like Klorane.
Also really great that it's a cruelty-free brand.
Like it's not, it's not minty, but it's that like,
it smells like, like fresh, like herb plants.
(aerosol sprays)
Don't mind me.
We have our nice travel size of the dry texturizing spray.
I do really like the Oribe, obviously packaging,
the formulas, the scents, you are getting
the boujee of the bouj.
Makes the hair and scalp flow really great.
But unfortunately you are looking at,
and we are getting a price check right now.
$32 for your little travel component.
- The regular one is $68
- And the regular one is $68.
Not in everyone's budget.
You know, it's certainly not in mine.
The thing that I like about this one as well
is it's kind of a mix between like a dry shampoo
and a texture spray.
So you get a really nice finish.
To get really like volumized with the roots
and a bit of like you know (aerosol sprays).
Feels nice, instant volume. Oh, it smells great.
Hate her and her budget.
For the people who for whatever reason you don't like
using an aerosol, it's all personal preference.
We do have some options.
This one is actually one of my all-time favourite
dry shampoos and styling products.
So it's the R and Co Skyline and it's a dry shampoo powder.
To get a more like body and like volumous and like oomph,
this is your best friend.
It does make a little bit more of a mess
cause it's a powder and I'll show you what I mean.
So you kind of spritz it up.
Get it in there. Smells great.
It's super, super, super finely milled.
So you don't need a lot.
It disperses over the scalp a lot nicer than an aerosol.
That's definitely one of the bonuses of the powder.
But I find that it also works into the scalp super easy
and into the hair as well.
And it brushes out really beautifully too.
And it's an incredible option.
If anyone says to me, I want a dry shampoo
but I don't like aerosols, number one.
Last but not least.
We have a dry shampoo paste.
Now this one is a half dry shampoo, half styling paste.
It is not for everyone.
However, it does have its place in our dry shampoo family.
It's not a black sheep but it's like a grey sheep,
a little bit speckled like the one you see at Christmas
and you're like "See you next year".
Say if you are on your last legs,
but you want some seriously sexy volume,
you want some movement,
you want that (indistinct) that oof,
that like, ah, yes.
You kind of scrape it out and you kind of
work it in with your fingertips so you kind of heat it up.
And this one is really great
cause you can really concentrate it.
So say if I want like a bit more volume here.
I can kind of work it into the hair.
Especially in this front bit here.
Less is was more, this one would be perfect for someone
with even shorter hair than myself.
So if you're looking at like a pixie crop.
I do not think this would be a suitable for anyone
with like my hair length or longer.
Definitely keep it to someone with shorter hair.
Someone who doesn't mind a bit
of like a rougher kind of finish.
It does leave the hair a little bit more gritty.
