Showerless Shampoo is a no-shower alternative to traditional shampoo designed to clean sweaty hair without water. Unlike dry shampoo, which absorbs oil, Showerless Shampoo actively removes sweat, dirt, and buildup leaving hair truly clean, soft, and refreshed after workouts or on busy days.

Use Showerless Shampoo after your workout, once hair is sweaty and you’re ready to refresh without a full wash. It’s designed for post-workout hair care when you don’t have time or access to a full wash and dry.
Start with less product - you can always add more if needed, especially if you have naturally oily hair. Shake the bottle well and hold it 8–10 inches from your scalp.
Think of your hair in three layers: top, middle, and bottom. Spray 2–3 fine mists onto the top layer, lift the hair and spray another 2–3 mists into the middle, then finish with 2–3 mists on the bottom layer.
Next, towel dry thoroughly to remove dirt and sweat from the hair. Let hair air dry, or blow dry any remaining moisture for a more finished look.
It may take a couple of tries to perfect your Showerless Shampoo technique, and that’s totally normal.
