Dry shampoo is a total savior for not only days that you woke up late and didn't have time to wash your hair, but for your head's healthiness as a whole. So many people use dry shampoo on the daily to prevent them from having to overwash their hair, while giving them a put together look, minus the oil.

Believe it or not, your hair's oils are important to its wellbeing. Hair produces oils to remain healthy, and by overwashing your hair, this can strip the strands of the natural vitamins they are producing. However, these oils don't look very trendy. And that's where dry shampoo comes in. No need to be constricted to having hat days, hairband days, or messy bun days anymore.

These are the best dry shampoos for oily hair; keep a look out for these tops brands for hair care and you'll have healthy, clean hair in no time.

Batiste is one of the most popular brands of dry shampoo for oily hair and they're also one of the most affordable brands out there. Don't feel like you need to break the bank by purchasing one bottle of product that you'll go through in a month. Available at your local drug store, Batiste has a choice between ten different fragrances!

Fragrances include original: fresh and classic, blush: floral and flirty, fresh: crisp and cool, tropical: exotic, cherry: it speaks for itself, wild: sassy with personality, floral: lively and trendy, bare: more subdued, neon: vibrant fruit, and finally, sweetie: deliciously sweet.

Other options include blonde, brunette, or red coloring to avoid white residue on darker or colored hair. Pick up a pack of three of these dry shampoos for oily hair for only $17!

One of the best dry shampoos for oily hair, Klorane has released a product combined with oat milk that is perfect for refreshing greasy roots. A little more on the high-end scale, this shampoo is $20, but will transform your oily hair from bland to voluminous in one spray, and a few shakes through the scalp. The oat milk not only cleanses, but is a natural absorbent, making it great for sensitive scalps.

You might want to test this out before purchasing a full-sized product, simply because it may leave residue on extremely dark hair. Klorane's dry shampoo is also free of colorant, paraben, sulfate, and sodium.

Great for all hair types, Amika is best known for getting hair looking refreshed for days. Unlike other low-end brands, Amika gives your hair the same feel as washing your hair with shampoo, conditioner, and water. Rice starch is the main ingredient to absorb both oil and dirt, also leaving the hair with zero residue and a revived feel for $24.

Amika's dry shampoo has been named a holy grail in the beauty community, as well as one of the best performing shampoos on the market today. Just give it a shot! You might fall in love.

A little different than the previous couple of dry shampoos for oily hair, this product is a powder in which you shake the product into your hand or straight to your roots, and then massage into your scalp. You can even sprinkle some onto your brush and take it through your hair.

It is also not solely a product that soaks up oils. People purchase this for the use of styling, for example, a textured up-do, voluminous ponytails, huge curls, and the list goes on. Even better, a little goes a long way as you will find yourself reaching for this powder on the daily, even if your hair is freshly washed.

Definitely a little more expensive than drugstore brands, Ouai is known for its high-end beauty line. This dry shampoo is $28 and will not only leave your third-day hair looking conditioned, it will also give your hair a beautiful fragrance. No need for hair perfumes when you're using Ouai. Notes of Italian lemon, magnolia, lily, blackberry, bergamot, violet, amber, patchouli, white musk, and cedarwood, this foam is no joke.

Add a small ball of foam onto your hand, apply to the scalp, and disperse throughout the hair like a typical shampoo. The foam should be worked into the hair for one minute, until your hair is styled to your preference and completely dry of oils. The foam is what makes this one the most unique dry shampoos for oily hair.

Giovanni's Powder Power dry shampoo is one of the best shampoos for both anti-oiliness and volume on all hair types including dark hair, fine hair, and curly hair. For those of you always on the go, this powder will be great. One bottle is said to have lasted up to seven weeks with continuous use. Plus, it's completely composed of natural products!

Powered by Living Proof's patented Healthy Hair Molecule, the Perfect Hair Day dry shampoo reduces the surface friction on hair in order to alleviate the scalp of oil and sweat. This technology is different than certain dry shampoos for oily hair that leave behind a residue. This residue can leave your hair still feeling dirty, even if it doesn't look like it is. Living Proof promises volume, strength, and a healthy shine.

One of the best dry shampoos for oily hair is Not Your Mother's Clean Freak Refreshing dry shampoo. It promises to leave hair with a light matte finish. It can be used on the daily and provides fresh looking volume. You can even purchase this product as unscented if you can't stand an overwhelming scent, or even just the scent of dry shampoo as a whole. Also, less is more when it comes to spraying this product!

Another great priced product, Schwarzkopf is a drugstore brand that sells one of the most popular in its category. It's also safe to use on bright colored or dark hair, leaving no white residue whatsoever. The mist is powdery and dry, unlike some flops that can spray out almost wet feeling. No one wants that on oils that desperately need to be absorbed.

However, with this great price comes a bit of compromise with the scent it supplies and the amount of product you might need to maintain being perfectly oil-free.

Want to have healthy looking hair and not sacrifice body? R+Co has a dry shampoo that has key ingredients of rice protein, vitamin E, silica, and pro-vitamin b5. Who knew spraying product on your hair could actually help it? Look no further in the category of dry shampoos for oily hair, this is one of the best.

A fragrance with notes of wild fig, cyclamen, lotus flower, cedarwood, bergamot, and tonka beans, your voluminous, clean hair will also be perfumed. Plus, the bottle has a super cute design.
