ALL ABOUT DRY SHAMPOO!
(DIY AS WELL)
So what exactly is it? In its essence, dry shampoo is just that — a dry substance that cleans your hair without the use of water. Dry shampoo works by absorbing oil from your scalp and hair, and making it look and feel freshly washed again. The ingredients in the spray-type of dry shampoo are usually a mixture of aerosol propellants, absorbing agents, solvents, conditioning agents and fragrance. It is not meant to take the place of regularly washing your hair with water, but to serve as a means of lengthening time between washes or to use in a pinch.
Dry shampoos usually come in one of three forms — an actual powder, a liquid that comes from a pump dispenser, or an aerosol spray. Whichever one you choose, it's important to choose one that's a close match to your hair color — some people complain that it can leave a white residue.
Some DIY dry shampoo
1. oatmeal and baking soda
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
2. Baby powders
Of course, baby powder is probably the most common and well-known method for making your own dry shampoo. Some people rub it straight onto the roots. Others mix baby powder with baking soda to make a dry shampoo. Baby powders often leave their white residue !
3. cocoa powder
A lot of people shy away from dry shampoo because of the Q-tip head... or snow cap... or white junk in the scalp. If you have darker hair or red hair I have two helps for it! Cocoa powder mixed in with your DIY dry shampoo is great for dark hair. Use about half powder/half cocoa powder (make sure this is not sweetened), and that should help take care of the super powder look. The corn starch can be a little powdery looking, so I like to add cinnamon to mine. It matches my color wonderfully AND I love the smell of cinnamon, so I don't even need essential oils.
Now let's talk about application If you are making your own at home, there are a few ways you can apply your dry shampoo. I like to keep mine stored in a shaker and just shake it directly onto my roots. A clean makeup brush is another option if you would prefer to brush it on. However you get it on there, the next step is important: rub it in. A lot of people comb it through with a brush, but I like to massage it right into my roots. Plus if I have curls left over from the day before , I can skip the curling iron and wear them again.
