Is a homemade dry shampoo better than the readymade product?
Lots of people believe that a natural shampoo is way better because the readymade shampoos are laden with hair-damaging substances that have a comedogenic effect on the scalp.
A DIY dry shampoo is safer since it’s made up of simple ingredients. Plus, it works similarly to readymade shampoos and that’s why it is growing in popularity. How to make a natural dry shampoo? See below.
DIY dry shampoo
This is the easiest recipe for a beauty product. It actually requires nothing: no cooking, mixing or infusing. It is based on powdered products from your kitchen. There is a wide choice because it can be based on different ingredients. Here they are:
1. POTATO FLOUR DRY SHAMPOO
Potato flour makes one of the safest and best dry shampoos. It is really gentle, leaving the hair fresh but also providing velvel-like softness. The hair looks super smooth and shiny! Potato flour isn’t merely a good dry-shampoo substitute but also a great treatment that boosts shine and makes hair better: mix it with the favorite hair mask and apply it to the strands, leaving it in for 10 or 15 minutes. Use 1 spoon of potato flour for 2 spoons of the hair mask.
The potato flour dry shampoo is very easy to use: rub some flour between the palms and massage it into the roots. Comb the excess out.
2. RICE FLOUR DRY SHAMPOO
Rice flour is yet another skillful hairstylist. It has a stronger mattifying and oil-absorbing effect so it surely makes a good pick for extremely greasy hair. Use it like an ordinary dry shampoo: get a flat spoon of the flour, rub it into the hair roots and comb the excess out.
3. COCOA DRY SHAMPOO
Cocoa instead of a dry shampoo?! Why not! Not only does it have an amazing smell but also perfectly freshens up and absorbs the oil. Note: it doesn’t make a good choice for fair hair since it may slightly change its color. It’s ideal for dark-haired girls because it makes the hair fresh again, leaves a wonderful smell and even enhances the color of strands. Rub a small amount of cocoa into the roots and comb the excess out. Enjoy a fresh hairdo that smells lovely!
4. WHITE CLAY DRY SHAMPOO
White clay is a beauty hit. It works as a good face mask, an ingredient in hair masks, a mattifying powder and now it turns out to be a great hair-freshening remedy. Apart from making the hair fresh, it acts as a scalp treatment delivering a full set of minerals. Perfect components and the variety of properties that gentle white clay boasts make it a desired natural beauty product. It’s a must-have!
