Dry Shampoo Dry shampoo is a staple in our hair styling routine. Not only does it keep hair clean(ish) looking without washing for a few days, it's also great for amp-ing up the texture and volume of your hair on a daily basis. The reason? "Dry shampoos do a good job of increasing interaction between hair fibers because they deposit powder. The tiny particles of starch and talc rub against each other, which increases friction and improves volume," Schueller says.

We tried Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray, $19.50, a product our reviewers said would do the trick. This is also a product Sarah swears by, and you can see why: the outcome was full, textured and bouncy hair. Here's how we did it:

1. Divide your hair into horizontal sections starting from the back.
2. Spritz the dry shampoo at the roots of every section. Then aggressively scrunch and tousle at your roots as you sift through each section.
3. For best results, flip your head upside down and scrunch at your roots generously with your fingers.
