Celebrity hair stylist Sunnie Brook explains how to find a good dry shampoo.
Transcript
00:00Hi guys, I'm senior beauty editor Lexi Lebsack and we're here in LA with celebrity hairstylist
00:06Sunny Brook.
00:07Hi guys.
00:08If Sunny's name sounds familiar, it's probably because she works with a ton of A-list celebrities.
00:13Everyone from Elizabeth Moss to Gina Torres to...I feel like you work with everyone.
00:18Who else do you work with?
00:19Hailey Baldwin.
00:20Hailey Baldwin.
00:21Cool.
00:22Okay, so we tested a ton of dry shampoos.
00:24What are you looking for when you're testing them?
00:26So, I have a first test which is the arm test.
00:30So I'll test the dry shampoo on the hair of my arm so I can see if it's dusty or
00:34powdery
00:35or how wet it is and if it doesn't pass my white test then I'm not going to buy it.
00:41So the ones we picked out today will not make your hair chalky and they will get rid of the
00:47grease and the oil and leave your hair feeling very manageable and smelling really good.
00:53So which is your first pick?
00:54Okay, so this one definitely came at the top of the list.
00:58This is Cantu which this I feel like you can use for pretty much every single hair type
01:03but most people don't think you can use dry shampoo for thick curly coarse hair and this
01:09one actually works amazingly well.
01:12I love that it has apple cider vinegar in it, it's really natural.
01:16Apple cider vinegar actually removes build up on the hair too.
01:20So those oils or sometimes you might think it's oil but it's actually products that are
01:24built up on your roots.
01:25Yeah.
01:26From shampoos or just the everyday silicones.
01:29Mm-hmm.
01:29So this is actually going to really cleanse the hair too.
01:31So I feel like this one gives you longevity.
01:34It has tea tree oil in it so it's going to protect your scalp and it smells amazing.
01:38It's clear so it passed the chalk test.
01:40Woo!
01:40So I brought my lovely friend Asia to do a test run of the Cantu.
01:48Have you tried this before?
01:50No, but I just got it so I can't wait to try it.
01:53And is your hair clean?
01:54Did you just wash it today?
01:56I washed it two days ago.
01:58Two days ago?
01:59Yes!
01:59You're a perfect candidate.
02:01Shake the can.
02:03Spray the roots.
02:05It's nice, it gives a little bit of shine but not grease.
02:10This one is okay to put on the ends because it's not going to dry it out.
02:16So number two, what was your second pick?
02:19Yes!
02:19Not Your Mother's.
02:20I just love this name.
02:22This is my favorite too.
02:23I've gone a very long time.
02:25How many days did you say you went?
02:27You went like...
02:27I went like nine or ten days without washing my hair with this one.
02:30I literally bought it in a drugstore in New York and I was just desperate and I had never
02:34tried it before and it...
02:36I wrote about it too.
02:37It's on the site but yeah, it's a workhorse.
02:40This is definitely passed the chalk test.
02:42It's clear.
02:43I wouldn't spray it on the ends but you could definitely spray it on the scalp to get rid of
02:46oil.
02:48Re-apply throughout the day if you need to but this is just like an easy pick up.
02:53Cool.
02:54No brainer.
02:54Let's go to number three.
02:58Batiste.
02:59I feel like a lot of people know about this brand.
03:01It's classic.
03:02Classic.
03:02I love that it has many choices.
03:04So if you, let's say your roots have grown out and you have gray or you have lighter roots,
03:10whatever, they've got brown, they have blonde, they have black.
03:13So not only do you get rid of the oil but you can also extend your color for longer.
03:18I love that.
03:19Double duo.
03:20Awesome.
03:20And the other thing I love about these is they have light and breezy.
03:26They have, where's the other one, clean and classic.
03:28So you have the tropical.
03:29Tropical.
03:30Vacation vibes.
03:31This literally smells like vacation.
03:33I love that bottle.
03:34Is it coconut-y?
03:36Yeah.
03:36This smells so good.
03:38That and a margarita were good.
03:40That's after.
03:41A tip though with all these dry shampoos that most people forget is you gotta shake it.
03:46Shake it up.
03:47Before you use it so you don't get chalky hair.
03:49Okay.
03:50So I have Gabriella.
03:52Come here darling.
03:53So Gabriella has really dark hair.
03:56You can see how you're not seeing any of the powdery residue at all.
04:00So it's definitely getting rid of that oil.
04:03Rub it in.
04:10I love that it has the color in it and also it doesn't get on your hands after rubbing
04:14it in.
04:15That's key.
04:16So for number four, we picked Herbal Essence.
04:19I can never get over their shower commercials.
04:23It doesn't work.
04:24Yes, this works.
04:25It passed the chalk test.
04:27It goes on clear.
04:29Makes your hair feel really refreshed, lightweight.
04:32I love that it has cucumber and green tea in it.
04:35So you kind of have this sort of like holistic experience in the bathroom.
04:38If you need a little like down time, you can grab this.
04:41When we were testing, Sunny said it's for the stressed out guy and girl.
04:46There you go.
04:49It doesn't tingle but it does feel really nice.
04:53Yeah.
04:53It doesn't feel wet or powdery or anything.
04:55Really when you apply dry shampoo, you're supposed to let it sit there for like a minute,
04:5930 seconds.
04:59Okay.
05:00So while that's happening, wash your hands, get rid of any grease, oil, residue, any dirt
05:06because dirt attracts oil and that can make your dry shampoo wear out quicker.
05:10So do that and then you want to go through and really like give yourself a nice scalp massage.
05:15Everyone needs one of those every day.
05:17It feels amazing.
05:18I can go for that.
05:19Get your friend to do it for you or your boyfriend if you want.
05:22If he's nice enough.
05:23We are on our very last dry shampoo pick.
05:27Number five.
05:28What is it?
05:29This golden goody Pantene Pro V dry shampoo.
05:34So this one is very powerful.
05:36The nozzle is fine mist, but it definitely sprays at a wide range.
05:42So if you're a super greasy girl, this is an easy go to.
05:46If you want volume, this is going to give you medium volume, not a ton, but it's definitely
05:51going to pick up your roots and give you kind of like an airy sort of feel.
05:55The trick with this one I learned is I really like how it smells and how it works, but you
06:00want to keep it far away because of how the nozzle sprays.
06:05So we kind of figured that out first on the arm test.
06:09Just, you know, pull your arm out a little bit.
06:11Oh my God.
06:14It's a very, very wide spray.
06:17I think a lot of people don't know that you can actually use dry shampoo on your hair
06:21when you're creating like an updo or your backcombing.
06:24So if you have that super silky, slippery hair that doesn't hold any style, this is really
06:30going to help you out.
06:32You want to do it on me?
06:32Yeah.
06:33Let's do it.
06:33Okay.
06:33Wait, should I lift it?
06:34I should divide, right?
06:35Yeah.
06:36Divide.
06:36Where are you greasy?
06:37Where are you greasy?
06:38Um, my hair doesn't get super greasy, but is it a little greasy right there?
06:42Right here.
06:42Yeah.
06:43Do you sleep on your back?
06:45Yeah.
06:45Yeah.
06:46Oh my God.
06:47You know why?
06:47Because when you sleep on your back, it's hot.
06:50So your scalp sweats more.
06:51Okay, so sometimes your roots can look darker just from grease and by using dry shampoo,
06:59you can make it look like you have less regrowth.
07:02Yeah.
07:02This smells like just like classic Pantene Pro-V to me.
07:05Just like middle school, middle school moments.
07:08All right.
07:08We're all done.
07:09Those are Sunny's top five under $10 dry shampoo picks.

07:14Thank you for having me.
07:15This was so much fun.
07:16Your hair looks really good.
