DIY Dry Shampoo That Really Works!
How many of us are still washing our hair everyday? Yeah, me neither. It is mostly up in a bun everyday and is getting washed every 3 days or so. The quarantine has got me, dang it.
What better way to remedy that than with some homemade dry shampoo? It’s actually super easy and I guarantee most people have the ingredients at home, always. Plus, it’s way cheaper than the store bought stuff and lasts longer.
DIY Dry Shampoo Recipe for Light Colored Hair

DIY Dry Shampoo Recipe for Dark Colored Hair
- 2 TB cornstarch (or arrowroot powder)

Essential Oils for Oily Hair & Scalp
I mentioned above that rosemary essential oil is great mixed in this dry shampoo recipe but there are other oils that would also be great to use. I know it seems counter productive to put oils on oily hair but essential oils can help.
Essential oils are much lighter so they don’t appear greasy when applied to the hair. They can penetrate your scalp which can help control sebum production and moisturize and nourish the scalp. A healthy scalp helps produce healthy hair.
Other healthy scalp & hair essential oils to try are:
- Lavender
- Lemon
- Chamomile
- Eucalyptus
- Cedarwood
I am so glad I found the recipe for dry shampoo thank you bunches!
You’re welcome! Glad it works for you.
