The Best Drugstore Dry Shampoo: $7 Pantene Never Tell Dry Shampoo Review

Pantene Never Tell Dry Shampoo Spray: My Experience + Honest Review

Beauty products continue to shape my everyday life even while I’ve been stuck at home for the past month. Obviously, I want to extend the lifespan of an at-home blow out (as seen on IGTV with the Revlon Hair Styler) and the one product that’s helped me create volume and fight oiliness is the Pantene Never Tell Dry Shampoo.

In this blog post, I am explaining why this Pantene Dry Shampoo tops my list as one of the best drugstore dry shampoo products on the market.

Prior to the quarantine, I purchased this drugstore dry shampoo at Walgreens to experiment with on my second-day or third-day hair. The only place I’ll spray some of this dry shampoo on my hair is up in the roots to fight the oil build-up that naturally occurs with my hair type. I also have very fine hair, so I use dry shampoo to give myself even more volume at the top of my head and especially with my bangs!

Some other dry shampoo hair products I’ve tested out in the past can leave my hair feeling super sticky and flat. One of the reasons why I enjoy using this affordable Pantene dry shampoo? The fact that it doesn’t leave my hair feeling sticky, ever! This dry shampoo formula contains quality ingredients like Pro-Vitamin B5, wild mint, and tapioca. More great ingredients: let’s not forget its sulfate-free and paraben-free formula, too.

 Why Do I Love This Dry Shampoo Over Others?

I already mentioned how this Pantene dry shampoo doesn’t leave my hair feeling sticky at all once I spray a decent amount to my scalp area. The Pantene dry shampoo truly lives up to its name because you will “never tell” that you even applied it at all. Ha!

This product acts as a secret weapon against fighting excess oil build-up, too. In-between hair washes, I constantly re-apply the Never Tell Dry Shampoo for instantly refreshed locks. As suggested, I will also apply the dry shampoo and blow dry my hair a bit to revitalize my natural waves.

Let’s be real for a sec, too: I also bought this dry shampoo because of the cute Insta-friendly bottle. MAJOR handclaps all around to Pantene for revamping their packaging designs on most of their haircare products in 2020 because this one definitely caught my attention in the dry shampoo aisle over competitors.

The Bottom Line?

• zero residue left once you spray the dry shampoo to your roots
• no visible white streaks in your hair
• a clean, slightly fragrant smell (a mix of wild mint, citrus, melon)
• adds plenty of volume to your roots for added lift
• no-sulfates and no parabens
• doesn’t cost over $10!!
• super easy to use the nozzle

My Hair Routine With The Best Drugstore Dry Shampoo

I typically use my dry shampoo for a maximum of two days in a row until I wash my hair again. Even from a professional standpoint, doctors recommend using dry shampoo for 1-2 days. It’s also imperative to use a nice detoxing clarifying shampoo (Love Beauty & Planet Delightful Detox Charcoal Shampoo, $6.99) when you wash your hair. After a relaxing shampoo sesh to rid of my hair of dry shampoo and product build-up, I follow up with a hydrating conditioner. A gentle moisturizing conditioner from Pantene keeps my dry hair feeling soft.
