Editors’ Pick: Igk First Class Charcoal Detox Dry Shampoo

The Facts:

  • Smells delicious
  • Adds tons of volume without weighing hair down
  • Cleanses even the oiliest hair and scalp with odor-eliminating charcoal powder

This lightweight spray smells amazing (like fresh cucumbers) and uses oil-erasing and odor-eliminating charcoal powder to liven hair up in a flash. It also contains calming white tea powder to soothe the scalp and strengthen hair follicles while adding volume to limp strands and dries up oil without leaving any residue. One verified reviewer even said her hair looked better on day two of no shower because of this dry shampoo.
