Like many others, I recently returned to the office after more than two years of working from home in athleisure and a messy bun. Having to get ready each morning for a day of in-person work came as a bit of a shock to my system, especially the whole, having to wash and style my hair part.
After a week or two of washing and styling it every other day, I knew I needed to get my hair back into its old routine of only washing twice a week and still looking presentable. Pre-pandemic, I was doing pretty well with a maintenance routine for fresh hair and keeping oily and flat hair at bay, but now? Not so much.
I knew I needed a heavy-duty dry shampoo to get me through the week, so when I was given Redken Deep Clean Dry Shampoo from the brand, I was excited to give it a try. Redken Deep Clean Dry Shampoo has been a game changer for my morning routine, saves me a ton of time, and works great. The best part is, now Redken Deep Clean Dry Shampoo is available in a jumbo size! It’s the same formula you know and love, with three times as much product. Read on to find it out if it will be a good fit for your hair styling routine.
Deep Clean Dry Shampoo
A high-performance dry shampoo that absorbs excess oil on up to day 4 hair.
What Is Redken Deep Clean Dry Shampoo?
Made with an award-winning formula that’s silicone, sulfate, and talc-free (which was important to me!) Redken Deep Clean Dry Shampoo uses rice and tapioca starch to absorb heavy oils and instantly refresh all hair types, making it great for third and fourth-day hair. When applied, the product also provides this cooling sensation that makes your hair just *feel* cleaner.
What Does Redken Deep Clean Dry Shampoo Smell Like?
With this dry shampoo spray, your hair not only looks and feels cleaner, but it also smells cleaner, too. When you first spray it on, there’s an instantly fresh, lightly perfumed scent that’s similar to what you’d expect from a standard, regular shampoo—but it’s not overpowering at all. As it settles into your roots, the fragrance becomes lighter and a bit sweeter, leaving your hair smelling as though it was freshly deep cleaned.
Is Dry Shampoo Spray Good For Your Hair?
While dry shampoo sprays can be great for when you’re short on time, after a major sweat session, when you’re traveling, or extending the life of a bouncy blowout, they shouldn’t replace your regular shampoo routine.
If you have color-treated hair, using a dry shampoo in-between washing sessions can help to preserve your color and can also extend the life of your style—cutting down on time spent heat styling or at the salon. Plus, this hair-friendly formula uses rice and tapioca starch instead of silicones, sulfates, or talc.
Who Should Use Redken Deep Clean Dry Shampoo?
This dry shampoo is best suited for anyone looking to extend the time between shampoo days without looking like you’re extending the time between shampoo days. For me, this is when my hair starts to look flat, “greasy” and painfully obvious I haven’t washed or blow dried in a couple of days. It works great on all hair types and textures, and since it’s a deep cleaning product, it’s a really great solution for oily hair.
My Redken Deep Clean Dry Shampoo Review
As a beauty writer, I’m no stranger to the world of dry shampoo and have definitely tried my fair share of products over the years. Spritzes, aerosols, powders—you name it, I’ve tried it. But more often than not, I found dry shampoo sprays made my hair feel too gritty, smell too perfumy, or look dull. And, let’s not talk about the chalk-like sprays that leave white powdery residue behind. Thankfully, Redken Deep Clean Dry Shampoo didn’t do any of that. Instead, it left my hair looking, feeling, and smelling clean and fresh, as if I had just blown it out myself.

All I had to do was a few quick sprays (less is more!) an inch or two from my scalp, aimed at the roots. Then I massaged it in with my fingers, brushed it through with a bristle brush, and voila! I also found that you can use more to add volume and height to your roots, or less if you're just looking for a quick freshening up.

I usually need to use a dry shampoo by the end of day two or day three after wash day and can rarely make it to day four without feeling insecure about my hair’s appearance—but not anymore! Because of its deep cleaning properties, the Deep Clean Dry Shampoo worked beautifully on my third and fourth-day hair, and was the perfect refresher to use after my sweaty stationary bike rides. This dry shampoo is more of a “get to work” type product instead of a “nice to have,” so I feel like you’ll know when you need it, and it will get the job done in seconds flat.
How Often Should You Use Dry Shampoo?
You can use dry shampoo whenever you feel your hair needs a little bit of help getting rid of excess oils or is in need of an on-the-spot refresher. After a workout, a day in the heat, or on your third or fourth-day hair, is the prime time to apply Redken Deep Clean Dry Shampoo, and when you’ll see the best results.
How often you typically shampoo depends on your hair type, your scalp oil production, your preferred “look,” and, of course, your lifestyle—but regardless of your hair type, you’ll undoubtedly benefit from the convenience, ease, and efficacy of this heavy-duty dry shampoo.
Don’t just take my word for it, try Redken Deep Clean Dry Shampoo for yourself in the all new jumbo size!
