When it comes to finding the best dry shampoo for dark hair, the quest can feel as daunting as searching for your soulmate. Okay, maybe not that dramatic, but when you have darker shades of hair, your options in the dry shampoo aisle can be limited.
Brunettes Need Dry Shampoo, Too
White residue from most dry shampoos can make dark hair look dusty, dull, or even gray. You need a dry shampoo that’s made for darker hair. No need to keep swiping through bottle after bottle. Batiste Dark and Brunette Dry Shampoos are your matches – depending on just which shade of brown or black you’re rocking.
Let’s face it. There’s no single “brown” or “dark” shade of hair. The range of hues that can be considered “brunette” goes from almost blond to blue-black. Batiste makes two formulas with a hint of color so you can find your best dry shampoo match for your hair.
Dark blends in with roots ranging from chestnut or mahogany to raven and midnight black hues.
Brunette is made for warm caramel and golden browns to coppery auburns to sweet chocolate cherry shades (and pssst it even works on redheads).
Choose the formula that is closest to your hair color and see how a dry shampoo made for darker hair can improve your life – and your locks.

How to Use Dry Shampoo on Dark Hair
If you have dark hair, your dry shampoo should complement your locks, not contrast. Batiste’s Dark and Brunette Dry Shampoos absorb oils, revitalize your hair, and extend good hair days without the effect of powdering your hair like a parliamentary wig. Formulated with a hint of color, these dry shampoos match your vibrant, dark hues and provide a foolproof finish. We’ve come a long way from baby powder.
When it comes to how to use dry shampoo on dark hair, it’s not just about spraying. There are a few techniques that will take your dry shampoo-ing game up a level.
Shake the can of Batiste Dark or Brunette Dry Shampoo. Shake for around 20-30 seconds to thoroughly mix the product in the can. Do not skip this step!
Holding the can 10-12 inches from your scalp, spray the dry shampoo on the oiliest areas, typically the crown and hairline. Separate your hair into sections and apply at the roots. Your goal is to target specific areas, not spray a mist all over your hair like you would with hairspray. Don’t forget the back of your head!
Wait about two minutes, then use your fingers to massage the dry shampoo on your scalp. This both feels great and allows the dry shampoo to work its magic.
After another 2-3 minutes, use your brush or comb to work the dry shampoo through your hair. Start at the roots and move the brush side-to-side slightly as you pull it through your hair. Tousle, style, tease or whatever you need to get your hair working for you.
