If you are at all like me, you love a great dry shampoo. I love to skip showers; it is healthier for hair and skin, plus, it helps the environment (also,. When I started thinking about it, I had NO idea what was in my beloved dry shampoo. After researching ingredients in dry shampoo, I found the disheartening truth.
Dry shampoo is made to absorb grease, and there are a few ingredients that do this. Such as: cornstarch, alcohol, butane, scariest of all… Some dry shampoos contain liquefied petroleum gas. WHAT?! So, if you don’t want to spray gas in your hair, here is a great alternative to make at home. You can pronounce all of the ingredients, and it is under $2.00 to make!
Dry Shampoo- Dark Hair:
- 4 TBSP Arrow Root Powder
- 1 tsp Clove
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 10 drops Wild Orange Essential Oil
Combine dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly. Add oils. Mix again. Store in a glass container. DONE!
Dry Shampoo-Light Hair
- 4 TBSP Arrow Root Powder
- 1 tsp Chamomile Powder
- 10 drops Lavender Essential Oil
Combine dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly. Add oils. Mix again. Store in a glass container. DONE!
It is so easy to make, and they smell amazing. I like to apply the dry shampoo with a makeup brush. Apply to the roots of your hair, and let it sit for a few minutes. Allowing your hair to sit gives the oil time to soak into your hair, and the arrowroot powder to absorb the grease. Brush through your hair, and style as normal-no gas needed!
Get creative with your jars! Leave a comment showing off your storage jar. I would love to see what you all come up with.

Super interesting, Liv. I am really curious to try the dry shampoo. Skipping one day of a shower and my hair sometimes looks like I haven’t showered for a week! It’s super frustrating. Can’t wait to see how the dry shampoo works!

Let me know how it works for you! Other dry shampoos never absorbed grease, and moisturized my hair like this one. Hope it does the same for you!
