We tried a bunch of color-boosting dry shampoos — here are the ones that got rid of grease without making a mess

The Game-Changing Dry Shampoo
The Product: Moroccanoil Dry Shampoo, $26

Dry shampoo should smell nice, because greasy hair isn't the only sign you haven't washed it in days. This one from Moroccanoil delivers with a fresh, light scent that's not overpowering, but still strong enough to mask that two-day-old hair scent. It's formulated with ultra-fine rice starch, which absorbs ultra-fast, blends completely and doesn't feel chalky.

It comes in two shades: dark tones and light tones. The brunette has a subtle, non-messy tint that doesn't dull dark hair or stain fingers, clothes or styling tools; the blonde features violet undertones that cancel brassiness; both are infused with the brand's signature argan oil.

The New Drugstore Staple Dry Shampoo

The Product: Batiste Hint of Color Dry Shampoo, $8.99

The original Batiste dry shampoo tops our list of readers' favorite dry shampoos, so we had high hopes for the newly released tinted version.

It comes in three shades (for light hair, medium-brown hair and dark hair) and it did not disappoint, leaving our hair clean and refreshed sans powdery, tangle-inducing residue.

The Cult-Classic Dry Shampoo, Updated
The Product: Klorane Dry Shampoo With Oat Milk, Natural Tint, $19.50

Any beauty junkie worth her hair styling products has tried Klorane's classic oat-milk-infused dry shampoo — it's like an oil-blotting sheet for your hair. This version uses mineral pigments to tint the original formula of corn and rice starches a light brown that works best on lighter brown hair, but also blends easily into darker brown hair.

The Indie Contender Dry Shampoo
The Product: Sachajuan Dark Volume Powder, $32

A collective sigh was let out when this product was sprayed in the office — it smells that good. The tint was not messy at all (we made our tester run her fingers through her hair immediately after applying to check — no staining!). In addition to making hair look clean, the spray also makes roots feel as if they'd been freshly blown-out. Another perk: bouncy volume.

The Color-Boosting Dry Shampoo
The Product: Vidal Sassoon Colorfinity Dry Shampoo, $3.99

The colored pigments are bold — one staffer was asked multiple times if she had gone blonder — but they don't stain everything in sight like some tinted formulas are wont to do. It's very user-friendly (read: it goes on lightly and blends easily), and doesn't leave hair with an icky, chalky, crunchy feeling. In other words: You can run your fingers through your hair without risking them getting stuck or covered in powder.
