DIY Dry Shampoo Recipes

Dry shampoo is making a comeback after being wildly popular in the 1960s-70s. It’s a quick and easy way to get fresher and cleaner-looking hair without going through the hassle of wet washing. Dry shampoo works by putting an oil-absorbing substance at the root of the hair, which then gets brushed, combed, or blown through the hair. It disappears, along with the extra oil, and leaves the hair shaft feeling and looking less greasy.
There are many different substances that you can use as the base of dry shampoo. Ground-up oatmeal, arrowroot powder, and a variety of other fine, absorptive powders can be used. I like organic cornstarch because it’s easy to find and it’s something that I always have around the house anyway. You will find two recipes over at mommypotamus.com – both for light and dark hair.
