{DIY} Dry Shampoo

If you hate washing your hair everyday like I do, then you'll want to pay close attention to what I'm about to share with you!

Dry shampoo has always been one of my favorite hair products so when I found a recipe on how to make it using all natural essential oils, of course I had to try it! This concoction has since taken the place of my beloved Suave Dry Shampoo (yes, I love it that much)! So I thought if I loved it this much, you guys might love it too! The recipe is super quick & easy and I guarantee you'll thank me for it if you decide to try it :) Enjoy!
 


What you need:
 
1 glass container
1 old or inexpensive makeup brush
Arrowroot Powder (Purchase Here) or at your local health food store
Cocoa Powder (dark hair only) (Purchase Here) or at your local health food store
Lavender Essential Oil (Purchase Here)
Rosemary Essential Oil (Purchase Here)
Peppermint Essential Oil (Purchase Here)
 

For Light Hair (this is the recipe I used): 

1/4 cup of Arrowroot Powder
2 drops of Lavender essential oil
2 drops of Rosemary essential oil 
2 drops of Peppermint essential oil

For Dark Hair: 

2 tablespoons of Arrowroot Powder
2 tablespoons of Cocoa Powder
2 drops of Lavender essential oil
2 drops of Rosemary essential oil
2 drops of Peppermint essential oil
 
Directions:
 
1. Put Arrowroot Powder, Cocoa Powder (if using)
and essential oils into a food processor*
2. Pulse until well combined (this should only take a couple seconds)
3. Store in a glass jar
 
 
IT'S SO EASY!!!!!!!!
 
*If you don't have a food processor, like my non-cooking self, then a sealable container will do the trick to mix the ingredients. Just put the ingredients into the container, seal, and shake.  
 
 
How to Use:
 
 
Apply powder to roots and/or the oily parts of your hair
(I used an old makeup brush to apply it to my hair)
