Here’s a throwback: Do you remember hitting puberty and being super aware of your newly glistening visage? Your instinct was probably to de-slick five times a day with a harsh soap and astringent toner. Inevitably, you end up with uncomfortably tight, dry skin followed by a mirror-like oil slick as your sebaceous glands desperately compensated. The same balancing act applies to your scalp. If you wash your oily hair with shampoo too often, you’ll wind up triggering oil production instead of curbing it.

Few things help you feel more put together on lazy days than a few spritzes of dry shampoo. If you’ve been washing your hair less in quarantine, you’re not alone. And using these multitaskers means no one needs to know.
Plus, as things start to open up again, dry shampoo — which even has a celebrity entry in the category, Priyanka Chopra's Anomaly, sold at Target — is also great for travel. It lets you skip a wash and extend the life of your style for another day without having to suds up — or get that icky feeling that your strands look and feel greasy.
