There are several reasons why finding the right dry shampoo is a tricky feat. For starters, it\u2019s not guaranteed that it will actually help your hair feel cleaner and absorb excess oil <\/a>\u2014\u00a0and that\u2019s not even taking into consideration whether or not it\u2019ll leave a chalky cast in its wake. And if there\u2019s one person who feels uniquely primed to put the stuff through its paces, it\u2019s Chloe Kim<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Olympic snowboarder \u2014 who the world met in the 2018 Winter Games as a bleached blonde \u2014 has recently returned to her brunette roots. Given that her job requires more time in a snug, sweat-trapping helmet than the average person, when she says she swears by Batiste to keep her roots feeling and looking fresh, I\u00a0\u2014 a fellow dark brunette \u2014 am inclined to believe her.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember using Batiste for the first time and being like, oh my gosh, this works<\/em>,\u201d she tells Refinery29, days before going to intensive training ahead of the upcoming 2026 Olympics in Italy. \u201cEspecially with my travel and training, it\u2019s one of those necessities that I need on the go.\u201d Her favorite formula? The Zen Matcha Light Dry Shampoo<\/a>, which uses rice starch to mop up excess oil and has a refreshing chamomile, green tea, and sandalwood scent.<\/p>\n

DashDividers_1_500x100<\/title><\/div>\n<h2>On her favorite skincare of the moment\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cMy skincare routine these days consists of Medicube,\u201d Kim tells me \u2014 and it makes total sense considering the brand\u2019s toner pads have become a cult staple among K-beauty obsessives and R29 staffers alike. \u201cI love their toner pads and face masks, especially the collagen masks,\u201d adds Kim.\u00a0 For her, that reliability becomes essential when she\u2019s travelling: \u201cWhen I\u2019m on the road, especially for snowboarding, where I\u2019m in very dry climates, it\u2019s all about moisturize, moisturize, moisturize.\u201d We love <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulta.com\/p\/collagen-niacinamide-jelly-cream-pimprod2053650?sku=2645369\">Medicube\u2019s Collagen Niacinamide Jelly Cream<\/a> for its glass skin-bestowing ingredients like collagen, squalane, and niacinamide.<\/p>\n<div><title>DashDividers_1_500x100<\/title><\/div>\n<h2>On returning to her brunette roots<\/h2>\n<p>While Kim might be known for her incredible hair today, the journey getting there wasn\u2019t exactly smooth sailing. \u201cBleaching was rough for my hair, I\u2019m not going to lie. I had to chop it when it was bleached, which was sad, but when I went back to brunette, I was able to grow it out, and I started caring more about my hair when I saw that it was growing back very healthy.\u201d Kim says that it\u2019s about having a consistent routine, but mainly, taking care of your scalp. \u201cMy scalp was always so oily and congested, and I would wash it all the time. And then that\u2019s when I discovered Batiste dry shampoo,\u201d she says. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulta.com\/p\/zen-matcha-light-dry-shampoo-pimprod2049243?sku=2633384\">Zen Matcha Light Dry Shampoo<\/a> buys you more time between washes \u2014 ideal if you\u2019re as busy as Kim \u2014 thanks to oil-absorbing rice starch.

I just know where to pull from,\u201d she says of her accidentally perfect strands. \u201cI will say when I sleep with heatless curls in, I get a really cute wave. So when I pull my strands out, they\u2019re perfect.\u201d To make the most of your beauty sleep, try <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulta.com\/p\/satin-heatless-curling-set-pimprod2031918?sku=2592934\">Kitsch\u2019s Satin Heatless Curling Set<\/a>, which cuts down on frizz and breakage while delivering bouncy, defined ringlets.<\/p>\n<p>Kim laughs as she thinks back to her early snowboarding days, when bigger always felt better. \u201cI used to like [my waves] really thick,\u201d she adds, \u201cso I\u2019d pull out a pretty big chunk, but then it started obstructing my vision when I was doing tricks, so I had to tone it back a bit.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><title>DashDividers_1_500x100<\/title><\/div>\n<h2>On her experimenting with beauty<\/h2>\n<p>Looking back on her beauty routine throughout the years, Kim \u2014 whose signature look is a matte nude lip and feathered brows \u2014 says she\u2019s switched things up so many times. \u201cI got into makeup when I was young, and then hair came shortly after. I wanted to dye it all these crazy colors and do all of that fun stuff \u2014 I\u2019m all about it. When I first started doing makeup, I always had to have eyeliner, usually a little wing. I also loved mascara and got into BB cushions too.\u201d (One of her go-to\u2019s is the <a href=\"https:\/\/global.oliveyoung.com\/product\/detail?prdtNo=GA230518794\">Laneige Neo Cushion<\/a>, which packs hydrating properties and sheer coverage in a light-as-air formula].<\/p>\n<p><strong>Like what you see?
