When choosing the perfect dry shampoo for your colored hair there are certain factors you’re going to want to take into consideration.

To start with, if you’ve colored your hair a dark brown or black, you’re not going to want a powder that comes out white as the product may not entirely absorb into your roots and could leave a chalky-looking residue, which isn’t ideal if you’re wanting your hair to look fresh and clean.

The same goes if you have highlighted hair, you’re going to want to stay away from any charcoal-infused shampoos that could leave your hair looking as though your roots are already starting to come through! 

The main thing you’re going to want from your dry shampoo is a product that you can regularly use in between washes to stop your color from fading as quickly.

Regular use of a product means you should look for a shampoo with hydrating qualities or even one with infused vitamins to make sure your hair stays in its healthiest condition. There are so many dry shampoo options for you out there that you’ll be spoilt for choice.
