If you have oily hair, there's a good chance you have an unhealthy relationship with dry shampoo (or is that just Us?). It's not co-dependency — just true dependency. 24 hours post-shower, you're already looking for the spray, asking yourself why.

One way to decrease the oiliness of your hair is to actually wash it less. While this may seem counterintuitive, it trains your hair to go longer between washes. The more you wash your hair with shampoo, the more oil your scalp produces to compensate for the removed oil. In other words, when you wash it less, your scalp doesn't produce as much oil. Pretty cool, right?

Yes, but this can only go so far. No matter how diligently you try to train your strands, sometimes your hair's natural tendencies will overpower your efforts. That's where a good dry shampoo becomes essential, but many dry shampoos are filled with aerosols, chemicals and ingredients that actually perpetuate your oily scalp issue.

This Tap Secret dry shampoo takes the opposite approach, leaving out all the harmful ingredients and stacking it full of hair-strengthening ingredients like biotin, charcoal and black ginseng powder. If you have naturally oily or greasy hair, want a little more volume or simply crave that freshly showered feel, you're going to want to check out this dry shampoo!

I love that the design of this product — the application is so easy and you can really spot treat problem areas (for me it's around my ears and forehead line)."
