I’ve used a couple different dry shampoos and loved using them as my hair can be such a hassle to style after showers. But the kinds that I liked the most were a bit too pricey for my liking. So I took it upon myself to find a homemade version that I liked just as much. Not only does this one work just as good as the ones I purchased, it smells great and can be used in place of bathing your pets as well. It’s also incredibly easy.
Ingredients: 1 cup of baking soda, 1 cup of oatmeal
Ground up the oatmeal in a blender / food processor until it’s almost a fine powder. Combine and mix thoroughly with the baking soda. Apply a small amount to your hair and let sit for up to five minutes. Comb out and style as usual.
I choose solitude over social scenes. Tea and wine over soda and beer. Simplicities over complexities. And chocolate over all of those things any day.
I'm going to try this recipe. I love dry shampoo but my favorite is Rockaholic Dirty Secret and it's so expensive for how quickly I go through a bottle!
What a great idea. I never thought of making my own dry shampoo. I am surely going to try this out!
is dry shampoo meant to use when you don't have time to wash your hair or does it have another purpose? I have one I use occasionally, but it annoys me because it's a brown powder and it gets everywhere (on the bathroom floor, on my neck, clothes …). maybe I just don't know how to apply it. :)
can't wait to try it! i've been using baby powder, but this sounds a little better!
I've been wanting to try dry shampoo, since it's supposed to be better for thick curly hair (guess what I have!)… definitely going to give this a try, since those things are already residing in my cupboard– no purchasing necessary. Awesome!
I've been on the hunt for a dry shampoo that actually works for me!
Definitely going to try this :)
