And it's at Target đ
Priyanka Chopra Swears By This $6 Dry Shampoo for Shiny, Touchable Hair
Priyanka Chopra is in London when she logs on to Zoom with me from her bathroom. I don't know if it's actually her bathroom or her favorite hotel, but I completely forget to ask because all I can focus on is her voluminous, shiny hair that's so magnificent it deserves an award. She casually runs her fingers through her waves so many times during our interview that if her goal was to put me in a hair-induced trance, then mission accomplished.Â
It makes sense, since we're here to talk about her new hair-care line, Anomaly, which has just launched exclusively at Target. Going into this interview, I wasn't sure we needed another celebrity-created line of any kind, even though Anomaly is eco-conscious (bottles are made of 100% recycled plastic), clean, and affordable, with nothing over $6. To my surprise, Chopra tells me she feels the same way.
âWe see so many celebrity products that come out, and I didnât want to get lost in that, because thatâs annoying to me,â she says. âIâm not someone who ever really buys a product because of someoneâs face or name. I always consume what I think is good for me.â
Chopra has always been vocal about her beliefs, and even though she's still selling a product, I believe her. Anomaly stands on its own (I can attest, having already used it), which is the point. âI wanted the brand to be outside of me, to fill a gap in the market,â she says, âand I really believed we achieved that, because I wouldn't have done it otherwise.â

As for the name, Chopra explains she was drawn to the definition of anomaly, which means âa deviation from the standard.â
âIn todayâs day and age, I donât think there is a standard,â she says. âI donât think anyone can say what is normal, what is abnormalâand thatâs the beauty of this word because weâre all anomalies. Weâre all unique in our own way.â She adds that the ethos of the brand is inclusive, genderless, and accessible for everyone: âBeauty shouldnât be a hole in your wallet, and shouldnât mean costing us the earth.â
So what else does Priyanka Chopra swear by? In Glamour's latest round of Big Beauty Questions, she fills us in on her must-have staples and the $6 lip balms that save the day.Â
Glamour: Whatâs one trend youâre obsessed with right now?
AdvertisementPriyanka Chopra: Sweats! Sweats on the bottom and formal business tops on the top, especially for the Zoom world. Iâm Zooming so much. Today Iâm actually wearing a matching outfit for once, but usually Iâm in sweats for the bottom. Today is loose pants, so Iâm comfortable, but Iâm still in my slippers. But otherwise I havenât worn jeans inâŚI donât know when. Itâs all sweatpants.
Whatâs one beauty rule you think is B.S.?
Too much makeup. I honestly think less is more. Iâm really someone who advocates for great skin and to focus on taking care of what your face feels like, rather than putting a lot on it. Enhancing the features we have rather than catering to beauty standards that are unreasonable to live up to.
Fill in the blank: I love my hairâŚ
When itâs freshly washed. But I also love our dry shampoo. Itâs so light! I have some on my hair today right now. You can hardly feel it, and you can still put your hands through your hair. It doesnât leave any residue. Itâs the only styling product I have in the line.

I usually get my recommendations from Spotify or Apple Music. I go to Todayâs Hits, which is my favorite playlist. Iâm a big consumer of pop culture, so I just want to know what everyone is doing and I want to do it too.Â
What city or country gives you the greatest beauty inspiration?
Beaches, anywhere. I canât say a city or a country, but when I go to the beach and can feel the sun on my body and put sunblock oil on myself and lay down and my feet feel the sand...you can tell how much Iâm missing vacation.Â
Whatâs your favorite sunscreen when you go to the beach?
I discovered Supergoop!'s sunscreen oil before lockdown and now it's something I use a lot.Â
Supergoop! Glow Oil SPF50
$38Supergoop!You can use only three products for the rest of your life. What would you choose?
Okay, so not including hair care, I would choose moisturizer. Thatâs very important. I believe in changing up your moisturizer every four to six months. I love Dr. Barbara Sturm's products and 111 Skin. I have dry skin and I travel a lot, so I really like to moisturize, then use a vitamin C serum, and once in a while, I'll use a hydrating face oil. Also, face wash is very crucial for dry skin because you donât want to strip your skin of moisture you already have. I really like Dr. Barbara Sturm's foam face wash because it's superlight.
My third thing would be a tinted lip balm, because then you can use that on your cheek and eye as well to give you a flush. I was using an Hermès colored one recently, but I love a good old Carmex or a Burt's Bees with a tint. I love discovering lip balms wherever I go. Itâs a weird quirk of mine. I get very excited over tinted lip balms, so thatâs a quick fix in my bag all the time. I use it on my cheeks too.

Honestly, I like to find a corner in my house where no one is around and watch TikTok. Or Reels on Instagram. I procrastinate so much since I discovered TikTok. I go to the Explore page, so I'll watch things like dog videos or cats doing things or people attempting dances or the silhouette challenge. I have two TikToks: one from India and one from the U.S., so itâs so much fun. Itâs more fun than anything else when I need to calm down.

Oh, kill highlighter. Itâs too many products for me. Iâd rather get a steam. Screw a great mascara. I am a lover of mascara! It wakes up my eyes. And marry lipstick, but letâs change it to lip tint because I donât like lipstick. I donât like the cream. I just have to have a little bit to get some color.
Whatâs the best beauty advice your mom has ever given you?
She said to have good skin you need to drink lots of water. The first thing she does in the morning is drink warm lemon water. As many glasses as you can. She has insanely amazing skin. So that and rest, which are the best things for good skin.
If you could change one thing about beauty perceptions, what would it be?
This includes me as well, because we all fall into the trap of asking, What does everybody else think I should look like? What should my weight look like? What should my skin look like? What should my hair look like? And I wish that the beauty standard were a little more inclusiveâto find beauty in different skin tones, in different dress sizes, ethnicities, cultures, and to be able to see beauty represented in all its glory.Â
Weâre on our way because weâre all talking about it, so letâs give credit where creditâs due, but I still think thereâs miles to go. We need to stay forward-thinking and forward-marching to make sure inclusivity is something that happens in beauty specificallyâmyself included. There are so many young girls growing up that get caught up in what they think they should be like, when we should really be empowering all kinds of beauty.
