My hair has gotten increasingly wavy since I had my two boys. And I’m not talking about the sexy beach blown wavy either, my hair is wavy in all the wrong places. This means that in order for my hair to look half way decent I have to flat iron it. I don’t have a ton of hair, but it definitely takes some time to do and it is not something I want to do everyday. I usually wash and flat iron my hair every other day. But on the second day, my roots start to look a little greasy. Enter Dry Shampoo. I have recently become obsessed with this stuff, but the kind that comes in the aerosol can is expensive. I’m talking 8 bucks or so a can and it only lasts a month. I need something that is going to work and costs me next to nothing to make. So here?is what?I have?been using as an easy and super inexpensive DIY dry shampoo for dark hair.
DIY dry shampoo for dark hair
What you need:
-
1 tablespoon Unsweetened Cocoa Powder (skip this if you have light hair)
-
1 tablespoon Cornstarch
-
Essential oil of your choice if you would like it to be scented. I skipped this because I already had the sweet smell of cocoa, but you may want to add EO to yours if you are just using the cornstarch.
-
Something to store it in, I used an empty spice container that I had on hand.
How to Apply:
-
Start by applying to your main part. Sprinkle just a bit down that part line.
-
Section hair off into quadrants and apply to those partings as well. Apply lightly at first, you can always go back in and add more if you need it.
-
Run your fingers through your hair to distribute the dry shampoo. You want it to blend into your hair so it does not look too powdery.
-
Run?a brush through it and you should be good to go.
I hope that you love this really easy and inexpensive Dry Shampoo as much as I do.
