DIY Organic Dry Shampoo

Do you use dry shampoo? I’ve always been a huge fan, but ever since I gave up the spray version (reasons: 1- because they are toxic 2- because they made me breakout) I’ve been on the hunt for an alternative. That’s when I decided to make my own dry powder shampoo. This DIY organic dry shampoo has a few special ingredients to avoid the ghostly white hair often associated with dry shampoo. You might think these ingredients are for baking a cake but…

Step one // Gather your tools: 1/4 cup organic (non-GMO) corn starch + 1 tbsp baking soda + essential oil of your choice (I went with peppermint but there are so many to choose from) + unsweetened cocoa powder for brown hair or cinnamon for auburn hair + small mixing bowl + measuring spoons + whisk (optional, you can use anything to mix) + paper to form a funnel + small hair bottle with pointed nozzle.

Step two // Pour 1/4 cup organic cornstarch and five drops of essential oil into the small mixing bowl and mix well with whisk.

Step three // Add 1 tbsp baking soda and 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder (or cinnamon) to the cornstarch and mix together so the color is even and there are no clumps.

Step four // Use the paper to form a funnel and insert the small end into the opened bottle. Pour the powder mixture into the bottle, until it is about 3/4 full. Close the bottle with the pointed nozzle top.
