CORNSTARCH
Add just a little bit of cornstarch to your roots. Then, blend it through your hair. Finally, brush the cornstarch out of your hair. The cornstarch soaks up the oil and dirt which you remove when you brush the cornstarch out of your hair. This is one of the oldest tricks in the book when it comes to homemade dry shampoo!
OATMEAL
Mix one cup of ground oatmeal with one cup of baking soda and keep in a container in your bathroom. On those days when you don’t have time to wash your hair or don’t feel like washing it, you can work some of the mixture into your roots and then brush it out. It will remove the oil and dirt like magic!
ARROWROT
Arrowrot works just like the commercial dry shampoo. Sprinkle a light dusting of powder on your hair and comb it in through to your roots. Keep combing until you can’t see the powder anymore. Add in few drop sof essential oil to the powder for a mild fragrance.
COCOA POWDER
Combine one tablespoon of cocoa powder and one tablespoon of arrow root powder. You’ll want to brush your hair well before using this mixture, then work the mixture into your roots and brush your hair well again to remove it. This recipe is especially good for those with dark hair.
RICE FLOUR
Dab some finely ground rice flour (make sure it’s not coarse) at the root using a clean blush brush and you’ll be pleasantly surprised to see that this inexpensive alternative works wonderfully! You may add some essential oils to it for fragrance and store it in cheese shaker. Shake the mixture on your hair and then brush it out, as you brush your hair oil and dirt are removed!
