Dry Shampoo Alternative: Why Use Highland's Hair Cream
Hair cream is a great alternative to dry shampoo without sacrificing shine and moisture.
Dry shampoo is not always the best option for your hair.
Who doesn’t love a good dry shampoo? When you’re in a rush or just need to freshen up your hair, it is a go-to product for many of us.
Dry shampoo is great before and after a workout session to help get rid of sweat.
Unfortunately, you need to be ready for the white cast the product leaves behind and the extreme oil absorption that might actually work against your hairstyle goals. That’s when hair cream enters the game!
What Makes Hair Cream a Better Dry Shampoo Alternative?
Unlike dry shampoo, our Glacial Cream is a natural hair styling cream made with natural ingredients that won't leave your hair feeling dry or give a chalky look. Highland Glacial Cream is a hair cream that is good for your hair!

| Need all-day hydration & control | ❌ No lasting benefits | ✅ Long-lasting moisture, texture, and light hold |
| Refresh hair and improve health | ❌ Hides oil, but doesn’t help hair | ✅ Acts like a leave-in conditioner with styling benefits |
