The Best DIY Natural Dry Shampoo Recipe
DRY SHAMPOO
Between washes my hair sometimes needs a little pick me up to reduce shine. I have tried and tested many natural dry shampoos and I eventually started experimenting with my own recipes. Below I share an affordable, non-toxic, and natural way to reduce oil in any hair colour which you can easily make yourself at home!
What you will need:
An empty container (I recycled an old jam jar)
Makeup brush
Cornstarch and/or arrowroot powder
Optional powder colourant of choice (ie. bentonite clay, cinnamon powder, cocoa powder, or activated charcoal)
Optional essential oil
Recipe
Fill container with cornstarch or arrowroot powder (or mix equal parts)
Mix approximately a tablespoon in powder colourant of your choice
For blondes or colourful hair leave mixture as is
For silver hair mix in a tablespoon of bentonite clay
For red hair mix in a tablespoon of cinnamon powder
For brunette hair mix in a tablespoon of cocoa powder
For black hair mix in a tablespoon of activated charcoal
Or custom blend your own colour preference
Optionally mix in an essential oil of your choice (I have brunette hair and mix orange oil with cocoa for a chocolate orange scent).
Test patch an area to ensure for no allergies or reactions
Brush on hair, diffuse with fingers, and voila!
