Post #4: Natural Dry Shampoo

I have to admit I’m one of those girls who hates washing my hair. It’s so long and thick I can’t go anywhere for hours with out it being wet. That’s why this week I decided to create my own natural dry shampoo for those days you want to get by without a wash. Not to mention it’s healthy for your hair not to shampoo everyday!

My dry shampoo recipe contains 4 simple ingredients.

4 tablespoons arrowroot, tapioca, or non-gmo cornstarch (I used tapioca)

4 drops peppermint essential oil

4 drops lavender essential oil

For Brunettes

4 tablespoons cocoa

For Blondes

¾ teaspoon turmeric

For Red Heads

2 ¼ teaspoon paprika

To make I got my Pyrex bowl and making sure it was dry I mixed together my dry ingredients. I then added my oils drop by drop mixing well each time. 

After I was finished I transferred my dry shampoo into an airtight jar. I had a decent amount left over so when I was done I went and got a couple more jars.

Next week I’m excited to share my all natural alternative to my favorite lip balm along with a tutorial for using the homemade dry shampoo!
