Can someone please recommend an Unscented dry shampoo?

I am so frustrated with these interfering with my perfume. No way any of my regular shampoos smell so strong as these....every one I’ve tried!

As mentioned below, Not Your Mother's Clean Freak comes in an unscented version. Batiste makes a "Bare" scent that's supposed to be light, specifically not to compete with other scents you wear. Also touched on below, loose powders are great too...I haven't tried the Klorane mentioned, but have used Bumble, Alterna, and Voir, and while they are scented, the powder format isn't nearly as strongly scented as alcohol-laden aerosols normally are.

 

As a related question, when do you typically use dry shampoo? I use mine at night before bed, and I find most scents are gone by morning, making scented vs unscented a lower priority for me than performance.

Dry shampoo has been so hard for me to find without questionable ingredients. I hate that the best working popular ones all have aluminum. I myself use IGK charcoal whenever I don’t have time to wash my hair and my sensitive scalp is itchy (the charcoal soothes it immediately) but I feel uncomfortable knowing I’m spraying aluminum on my scalp. I tried so many high end and low end over years and found the best cleaner dry shampoos minus aluminum is AVEDA dry shampoo. The cleaner more natural ones usually don’t work as good and make my scalp feel icky. AVEDA is a close 2nd to my IGK charcoal and Alterna bamboo cleanse extend.  It’s the only non aluminum one that I found works really well.

@lisa36 I highly rec KLORANE - Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk - Loose Powder Formula.  Good luck!  🙂  (IDK if it's truly fragrance-free, but I would say it's low on scent.)

I used that one in the past and it was okay but contains aluminum which i prefer not to use on my body anywhere in any form.

@lisa36 IKR?!  I was only able to find two that were completely unscented, CliniqueFIT Workout & Go Dry Shampoo, and Not Your Mother's Clean Freak Dry Shampoo.  

 

Not Your Mother's really didn't work for me, I found it made my hair sticky and heavy.  I do like the Clinique one a lot, but it's unusual as it's non-aerosol so you kind of apply the dry shampoo in little puffs.  Fragranced ones that work for me are Drybar Detox and Batiste .... if only they were unscented!
