Joico Weekend Hair Dry Shampoo ($22)

Moroccanoil's Dry Shampoo Dark Tones ($28)

Not only is the ombré bottle so chic, but its contents will also protect your hair from UV damage and give your ends a dose of that dreamy argan-oil fragrance, which we're actually obsessed with.

Billie Floof Dry Shampoo ($14)

The Billie Floof Dry Shampoo comes in two shades. The one for dark hair has a light-brown pigment to it that helps the formula blend into the roots of your hair while leaving strands dry and full of volume. Plus, with such cute packaging, let's all rejoice that dry shampoos for dark hair don't have to sacrifice the optics.

Evo Water Killer Dry Shampoo Brunette ($13)

Straight out of the bottle, the Evo Water Killer Dry Shampoo Brunette coats your hair in a dark-brown powder that disappears the minute you rub it in, along with any oil and dirt. It also provides grey coverage, has a small amount of hold, and adds shine to hair.

Kristin Ess Style Reviving Brunette Dry Shampoo ($15)

Batiste Hint of Color Divine Dark Dry Shampoo ($10)

The Batiste Hint of Color Divine Dark Dry Shampoo has a dark color that works on even the deepest hues (yes, even black hair). Just shake, spray, and rub in. This is our favorite pick for darker brunettes.

Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo ($43)

The Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo is the go-to dry shampoo for many beauty editors. Unlike powdery formulas that sit on your scalp, this dry shampoo is practically invisible, and it makes your hair feel clean — so clean; in fact, when Living Proof launched this product, it challenged editors to take an intense spin class and then forgo washing their hair. Everyone was blown away by the results. It's a particularly good dry shampoo for black hair as well, as not one ounce of color from the product will show up, white or otherwise.
