My DIY Dry Shampoo

There are loads of diy dry shampoo how-to’s online so what’s different about this one?

erm…nothing…except that I’ve been successfully using it for months & it’s completely awesome for my not-enough-hours-in-the-day life so my diy dry shampoo is definitely worth sharing:

That spice bottle was only half-full of diy dry shampoo goodness to begin with & has so far lasted for 8 whole months!

Get the quick and easy recipe and how-to-use for My DIY Dry Shampoo and say goodbye to less than stellar, no time to shower, greasy hair days:

Grab some cornstarch & baking soda (speisestärke & kaiser natron in Germany) + a small, airtight container

add 1/4 cup of cornstarch & 1 tablespoon of baking soda to the container, pop in a drop of your fave essential oil if you’d like a yummy scent, close and shake well

A less than stellar hair day = oily looking roots

My hair bio: I have crazy thick long hair that grows at an alarming rate & needs its roots blonded every 2 weeks, is washed/conditioned once every 7 – 10 days, has a monthly DIY trim & gets a weekly treatment condition (if I have the time!)

shake a bit of your DIY’d dry shampoo into your hand & dab some onto your fingertips (preferably in your PJ’s before you get dressed to avoid powdering your groovy outfit of the day!)

pat it onto your roots, hairline & wherever there’s excess oil then gently rub it through your hair over your scalp (you could also use a soft make-up brush to apply it if you’re feeling fancy)

 give your hair a brush and you’re ready to get dressed and meet the day with a fresh-looking ‘do!

*for brunettes simply add unsweetened cocoa powder to the mix to reach your desired shade & for redheads add cinnamon – bonus: your hair will smell like Christmas!

    Love it Sheri, going to make some tonight! Have you heard about Katwise she takes recycled sweaters and turns them into stylish coats and arm warmers…they are so you! I bet you could make a groovy one!
    Your friend in PEI, where we’re waiting on our first big snow storm of the season tonight, storm snacks all ready and candles on stand by!

    1. Those sweater coats are fabulous! 😀 & actually look pretty simple (but time consuming) to create if one has a serger – I’m constantly on the prowl for a thrifted/second hand serger but thus far my thrifting karma hasn’t been lucky 🙁
