If you’ve ever avoided a workout due to hair that’s looking especially good, it’s not just you.

The good news is there’s a way to keep it movin’ \u2014 and<\/em> keep your hair in shape. Dry shampoos \u2014 a powder formula that you can spray or dab on your hair \u2014 are excellent solutions for sweat-slick hair.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re burning up in HIIT<\/a> or kettlebell<\/a> swinging at CrossFit, dry shampoos can wick all the ick away in no time. To take the guesswork out of finding formulas that really absorb sweat and oil, add volume, and lay undetected, we tested over 25 dry shampoos to find the ones that deserve a place in your gym bag.<\/p>\n

1. Oribe Gold Lust Dry Shampoo ($44)<\/a><\/h3>\n

Best for: <\/strong>Dry Hair
\nOribe has been known to have a strong beauty cult following, and this dry shampoo doesn\u2019t disappoint. If you have dry hair that\u2019s been color-treated, this strand saver conditions and revives with myrrh, lavender and chamomile extracts. We tested it after a boxing workout<\/a>, and the shampoo absorbed all the sweat without leaving any white residue. Oribe\u2019s signature watermelon, lychee and flower extracts also infused our locks with a refreshing, floral scent.<\/p>\n

2. Captain Blankenship Mermaid Dry Shampoo ($19)<\/a><\/h3>\n

Best for:<\/strong> People with allergies
\nFirst of all, who doesn’t want mermaid hair #AmIRight? For those with sensitive, allergy-prone<\/a> skin, this all-natural dry shampoo is made for you. Talc- and aluminum-free, this powder shampoo means zero allergy triggers. While the self-sprinkling application needs some getting used to, the white clay, arrowroot powder, and rice powder mix leaves a silky finish. We used it after a run<\/a>, and it continued to help maintain volume, despite the heat and humidity.<\/p>\n

3. Nunzio Saviano Dry Shampoo Blotting Sheets ($24)<\/a><\/h3>\n

Best for: <\/strong>Oily Hair
\nLike the blotting sheets for your face, these rice paper slips soak up sweat and oil from a greasy scalp. The anti-frizz sheets are enriched with coconut oil and have natural UV filters<\/a> to protect your hair from the sun\u2019s damaging rays. It might seem counterproductive to clean your hair with oil, but the coconut oil<\/a> in these sheets helps smooth things out and lets the color of your mane really shine. While these sheets aren\u2019t the best bet after a serious workout, for everyday maintenance, they make the grade.<\/p>\n

4. Klorane Dry Shampoo with Nettle for Oily Hair ($20)<\/a><\/h3>\n

Best for:<\/strong> Fine, limp hair
\nIf you haven\u2019t heard about nettle, it\u2019s a plant that\u2019s been used as an astringent that can absorb excess oil. In a cinch, this dry shampoo can freshen up extra dirty locks and give your coif volume and body. Full disclosure: The formula is slightly drying, but our tester said she’d take that over greasy or damp any day.<\/p>\n

5. Dove Refresh + Care Fresh & Floral Dry Shampoo ($13)<\/a><\/h3>\n

Best for:<\/strong> Darker hair tones
\nThe brand’s classic dry shampoo just got a facelift with a whole new line of light, scented and unscented versions \u2014 perfect for those who are sensitive to fragrance products. The low-residue formula helps revive and refresh hair, while stripping oil and sweat<\/a>. It also helps balance the natural oils in your scalp, so it\u2019s not drying. Shake the can vigorously before use and brush through it, if you have time \u2014 or just shake and go. Bonus: Dove\u2019s dry shampoos come in travel sizes so you can easily carry it to the gym.<\/p>\n

6. BioSilk Silk Therapy Dry Clean Shampoo ($17)<\/a><\/h3>\n

Best for:<\/strong> Color-treated hair
\nWe admit: We\u2019re obsessed with all things BioSilk, and this dry shampoo is no different. The peppermint, lavender<\/a> and flower extracts in the formula makes your hair smell heavenly. Plus, it left our locks feeling clean and super soft. Not to mention the shampoo has actual silk, which contains amino acids for strong, healthy tresses.<\/p>\n

Best for:<\/strong> Travel
\nTiny but mighty, this bergamot, wild fig and lotus flower-scented spray mopped up sweat and grime on a hot day. The translucent formula makes it easy and quick to add volume to your hair. If you got a blowout that you want to maintain, carry it in your purse or gym bag<\/a> to revive lifeless hair post-flight or right before a meeting.<\/p>\n

8. Elizabeth and James Nirvana Rose Dry Shampoo ($28)<\/a><\/h3>\n

Best for:<\/strong> Normal hair
\nWe tried this dry shampoo after an Orangetheory<\/a> workout, and it worked wonders on thick hair. The water-free micro powder boasts rose root extract and vitamin B<\/a> for strength and shine. It dispenses pretty noticeably on dark hair, but you can smooth out the formula by combing your locks with your fingers. The seductive floral scent is so good that we\u2019d love to bathe in it.<\/p>\n

9. DryBar Detox Dry Conditioner ($33)<\/a><\/h3>\n

Best for:<\/strong> Blowouts
\nYou know that intoxicating scent that immediately hits you upon entering a DryBar? That’s what this dry conditioner smells like. It doesn\u2019t leave any white streaks and delivers moisture like an in-shower conditioner. Plus, you can rest easy knowing that it\u2019s a paraben-, sulfate- and phthalate-free formula, and it\u2019s totally safe for color-treated hair. We\u2019re ready for our next bottle!<\/p>\n

Best for:<\/strong> Scent aficionados
\nHair smelling a little funky? This is your new BFF. The affordable price tag doesn\u2019t hurt either. We tried this dry shampoo after a sweaty spin workout, and it made our hair brand new again. Sulfate- and paraben-free, the cucumber and green tea-scented shampoo is a bonus for anyone who is making the transition to natural products.<\/p>\n
