Category: Beauty > Dry shampoo. Updated 2026-10-16. Based on 197 counted first-hand reports from Ulta and Sephora shopper reviews, Jan 2014 to Sep 2026.

**Question:** Which dry shampoo is good for blonde hair?

**Short answer:** Batiste Original Dry Shampoo has the best record for blonde hair, with 16 of 17 shoppers saying it soaked up oil and blended into their hair without showing or leaving a tint, though that group is small. Next comes amika Perk Up Talc-Free Dry Shampoo at 18 of 20, the best pick sold on Amazon, while Drybar Detox Dry Shampoo trails at 21 of 39. Each record counts just shoppers who said they have blonde or light hair.

## Questions

**Which dry shampoo works for blonde hair?**

Batiste Original Dry Shampoo has the best record (16 of 17), then amika Perk Up Talc-Free Dry Shampoo (18 of 20), Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo (32 of 45), Bumble and bumble Prêt-à-Powder Dry Shampoo (14 of 18), with Drybar Detox Dry Shampoo (21 of 39) last. The ranking weighs how many shoppers stated a result, so Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo sits above Bumble and bumble Prêt-à-Powder Dry Shampoo, which has the higher share at 78% against 71%. Group sizes run from 17 shoppers for Batiste Original Dry Shampoo to 45 for Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo.

**Why are dry shampoos for dark hair not on this list?**

Four dark-hair or tinted versions are left off this page: Verb for Dark Hair, Moroccanoil Dark Tones, Batiste Hint of Color Brunette and Bumble and bumble Brownish. We can't tell which version a reviewer used, so those products are not ranked here.

**Are these results from a lab test?**

No. The counts are what shoppers with blonde hair said after using each dry shampoo, not a lab test, so follow the label directions.

**Which of these dry shampoos are sold on Amazon?**

amika Perk Up Talc-Free Dry Shampoo, the best pick sold on Amazon, is sold there by the brand or Amazon itself, as are Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo and Bumble and bumble Prêt-à-Powder Dry Shampoo. Batiste Original Dry Shampoo, the leader, is sold there through third-party sellers, so check who the seller is. Drybar Detox Dry Shampoo has no buy link here, because too few shoppers reported a good result for us to recommend it.
