Whether you're looking to add some texture or extend the life of your style, dry shampoo has become a genius hair savior for many people. But if you're someone who has bangs, dry shampoo is more than just a cherished product — it's a necessary weapon in the battle against grease and flatness. And while any bottle can help fight against hair woes, the best dry shampoos for bangs works with your specific hair type to keep your fringe looking fresh.
First, consider your hair type. Those with finer hair who prefer a wispier bang will benefit from lightweight sprays that do their job (absorb oil) without weighing hair down or leaving it sticky. Those with thicker locks — or really anyone who likes their fringe to be bouncy— will appreciate volumizing options that can also be worked in to add texture.
Regular dry shampoo users are likely aware that some of the best formulas can leave a white, chalky residue behind if not properly massaged in. So if you've got darker bangs, you might even want to opt for products with a built-in tint.
Finally, given that your fringe sits against your forehead, anything that you apply may transfer to your skin, potentially causing breakouts or other reactions. So if you have sensitive or acne-prone skin, avoid bottles with things like mineral oil, preservatives, or sulfates, and instead look for lighter formulas with less ingredients or scalp-nourishing add-ins like oat milk.
Also, note that there are non-aerosol dry shampoos that work just as well as the spray kinds. Not only do these remove irritating repellents, but they also allow for a more targeted application right where you need it.
