If you ask us, everyone should have a bottle of dry shampoo handy, especially for those no-wash days when you still want to keep your hair looking (and smelling!) fresh. But when you have fine oily hair, a good dry shampoo can really make a difference. While there’s no shortage of dry shampoos out there, you really want to find one that not only keeps oil at bay, but also gives your hair the kind of volume and life you crave. If you’ve had no luck finding that one dry shampoo for your hair so far, we’re here to help!
Whether you’re looking for budget-friendly drugstore options or top-rated choices that shoppers just can’t stop buying, we rounded up the best dry shampoos for thin oily hair that you can shop right now. We even found one that has the stamp of approval by so many A-listers including Gwyneth Paltrow and Margot Robbie for under $20. Check those out below.
Vegamour
When it comes to products for thickening thinning hair, no one does it like Vegamour. In fact, their best-selling GRO Hair Serum is so popular, one bottle sells every 15 seconds. It’s no wonder why the brand has so many celeb fans including Mandy Moore, Bella Hadid, and Nicole Kidman, who became a partner with the brand after loving the results she got using their products. Selling Sunset star Chrishell Stause is also a fan of Vegamour and even shouted out their GRO Dry Shampoo to The Cut as a product she uses to “blast the oils away.” This dry shampoo was made to not only cleanse the scalp, but “revitalize hair at the roots for thicker, fuller-looking locks.” It has a near-perfect rating with hundreds of reviews and shoppers say it truly is “incredible.” You can find it at Vegamour and Sephora.
Not Your Mother’s
While some dry shampoos (like the one above) are definitely worth the splurge, you don’t necessarily have to shell out serious cash to get one that’s effective. In fact, Not Your Mother’s Plump for Joy Dry Shampoo starts at just $4. Per the description, it was made to give you “hair that is full of life.” It won’t leave any white residue for those with darker hair, which is an A-plus in our book. Plus, it’s really great for those with fine hair. As one shopper wrote, “I never thought I could find a dry shampoo for my fine, thin hair that I had to wash every day. This is a game changer!” You can snag one at Target or Amazon.
OUAI
OUAI, the haircare brand beloved by celebs including Kim Kardashian and Hailey Bieber, has the Super Dry Shampoo that “instantly soaks up excess while” while giving more volume. It’s made of ingredients such as rice starch to absorb oils, volcanic minerals to detoxify, and rhodiola rosea extract, which helps make hair appear stronger and healthier. According to one shopper, it’s the “best” dry shampoo for fine thing hair out there. “I have a very hard time finding dry shampoos that work with my fine thin hair without weighing them down,” they wrote. “This is the first dry shampoo that has actually worked for me and gives me super volume that lasts more than an hour!” You can find it at OUAI, Target, and Amazon.
Klorane
Klorane’s Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk is a cult-fave option that’s so popular, one can sells every nine seconds. Famous faces like Gwyneth Paltrow, Miranda Kerr, Diane Kruger, and January Jones have all reportedly used the dry shampoo themselves. In an interview with Vogue, Margot Robbie named it one beauty product she can’t live without. This award-winning dry shampoo was made to be ultra-gentle and good for those with sensitive scalps. It works to eliminate oil, dirt, and odor, while giving your hair some extra volume and texture. According to one shopper, it “smells divine” and “fluffs” their hair perfectly. It’s available to purchase on Klorane and Amazon.
Living Proof
This dry shampoo from Living Proof was made to “actually” clean hair and eliminate oil sweat, and odors. Given the amount of perfect five-star reviews, let’s just say, it lives up to the hype. One shopper, in particular, said it was “great for thin hair.” They wrote, “I have very thin hair with a naturally oily scalp, so normally dry shampoos let me skip one wash at most. With this, I can skip TWO and my hair is still looking fresh. It has a good scent and it actually cleans up your hair a bit and gives it volume.” You can shop one at Target, Sephora, and Amazon.
