A dry shampoo is a waterless alternative to washing you hair. You can use dry shampoos in between your day and night activities, on camping trips or if you are strapped for time from getting up late in the morning. Dry shampoos either are available in a spray or powder formula that soaks up the sebum and dirt build-up and refreshes your hair with just a brush.
