Salt and pepper. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. And now, dry shampoo and dry conditioner. They go together like, well, shampoo and conditioner.
If you're anything like me, dry shampoo changed your life. (I haven't washed my hair after a yoga class in years.) Still, even with all the oil-absorbing, root-lifting, texture-maximizing magic of dry shampoo, it always felt like something was missing. The top half of my hair would look revived, but the bottom half ("mid-shaft to ends" in hairstylist-speak) would turn stringy and frizzy two days post-blowout. That's where dry conditioner comes in.
Dry conditioner sprays contain hydrating and shine-boosting ingredients, and you can apply them to dry hair without mussing your style. Plus, like their dry shampoo counterparts, dry conditioners absorb excess oil and repel dirt. Trust me: You want to make room in your hair product drawer for one more. Every dry shampoo deserves a dry conditioner.
Leave it to Oribe -- the maker of my favorite hair product of all time, Oribe Dry Texture Spray, $39 -- to come out with a home run of a dry conditioner. It is almost weightless (the spray is practically invisible), makes hair instantly softer and smells like tropical flowers. It contains argan oil for hydrating locks and silk powder for absorbing oil.
Thanks to the addition of cornstarch, this dry conditioner absorbs oil as effectively as a dry shampoo. It also contains argan oil to hydrate hair, and the packaging is seriously chic.
If you dye your hair, it's important to avoid harsh, color-stripping ingredients. Shampooing less frequently is helpful, but you also need to use the right styling products, which is where this dry conditioner comes in. It's formulated with orange oil and mineral powders, which help hair color last longer while refreshing locks at the same time.
