Is It Time to Break Up with Your Dry Shampoo?

Dry shampoo was supposed to be the shortcut to cleaner, fresher hair. One quick spray, and you’re out the door. No need to wash, blow dry, or spend lots of time in the morning to fix your hair.

But if you’ve ever felt like your scalp was itchy, your roots were dull, or your hair just felt... off after using dry shampoo, you’re not imagining it. Most dry shampoos aren’t helping, they’re covering up.

And for sensitive scalps, that can make things worse.

What’s Actually in Most Dry Shampoos

Let’s talk ingredients. 

Aerosol dry shampoos are often loaded with synthetic fragrance, alcohols, and propellants like butane and isobutane. 

These ingredients can irritate the scalp, dry out your hair, and clog follicles over time. The result is more oil, more imbalance and a cycle that leaves your hair feeling worse. Plus, that "fresh" scent is usually made up of artificial fragrance compounds that can linger long after you want.

Buildup, Breakouts, and Scalp Drama

Your scalp is skin. And when it’s constantly coated in synthetic powders, sprays, and perfumes, it reacts. For many people, that means irritation, dullness, or even breakouts along the hairline and neck.

Buildup also messes with your scalp’s natural pH, which can throw off your oil production and lead to even greasier roots. That’s exactly what you were trying to avoid.

So no, it’s not just you. Most dry shampoos just aren’t built to support real scalp health.

A Better Way: Powder-Based, Plant-Based

We created our Refreshing Dry Shampoo because we were tired of the residue, the headaches, and the fake-fresh feel.

Instead of aerosol sprays, we use a non-aerosol pump and a blend of natural powders like arrowroot and kaolin clay that absorb oil without irritating your skin. There are no synthetic fragrances, no propellants, and no harsh ingredients.

And yes, we made versions for both blondes and brunettes to blend into your roots. It’s not going to leave a white cast or residue on your hair either. The tinted powder disappears into your hair for a natural finish that feels like your hair, only fresher.

What Clean Actually Feels Like

Dry shampoo shouldn’t feel like a cover-up. It should feel like a reset. Like your scalp can breathe again and your hair looks great without effort.

This one’s gentle enough to use every day, tough enough to handle post-workout sweat, and small enough to take anywhere.

Clean Hair Starts at the Root

If your dry shampoo’s been letting you down, you’re not alone. We just decided to make one that works without the trade-offs. Ready to make the switch?
