Homemade Dry Shampoo


This dry shampoo recipe is perfect for days when you have no access to a shower or want to skip the shower and still have grease free hair that looks wonderful.

Ingredients:
2 Tablespoons Cornstarch
2 Tablespoons Baking Soda
2 Tablespoons Cornmeal
2 Tablespoons Ground Oatmeal
A salt shaker type container to store dry shampoo

Directions:
1. Use a blender to grind up the oatmeal. You are looking for it to be fine enough to go through a salt shaker, so be sure to blend it for enough time.
2. Add the remaining ingredients to the ground oatmeal and you have an excellent dry shampoo that can be used any time you want.
3. Pour the mixture into a container for storing. A salt shaker style container works excellent for this purpose.
4. To apply, sprinkle some of the dry shampoo mixture onto your hand or onto your head directly. Rub the mixture into your hair as if you were shampooing it, concentrating on the scalp and areas where your hair is greasy. This is where the ingredients gather the oils on top of your head.
5. Go over a sink, tub or trash can and brush the mixture out of your hair. Be sure to use a bristle brush to get all the materials out completely.
6. Style your hair as usual. Your hair will not only be grease free but will look like you just showered and will style naturally.
