Here’s a simple guide to making your own dry shampoos at home

Whether your hair is sulking in the summer sun or if it’s frizzy and dry during the cold and crisp winters, shampooing our hair is the best way to get rid of these hair-related problems. But isn’t it extremely tedious and exhausting to continuously wash our hair every time it is oily or frizzy?

While there is liittle that we can do to stop the sun or the cold wintry winds from damage our hair, we can surely resort to other hair-care alternatives that are not only effective but also effortless. For instance, dry shampoos. We are sure many of you have only heard of them but never used them, either because you didn’t want to or were worried about the ill-effects of the product. However, when you want a quick and an easy hair-wash, dry shampoos are your best bet and your go-to products and now you can even make them on your own, with simple ingredients easily available at home.

Here’s a simple guide to making your own dry shampoo at home

2/4

Ground oatmeal and Baking soda

To prepare the dry shampoo, you need to first arrange a cup of ground oats and baking soda each and then mix the two. After then you can put the mixture into a container preferably with holes. With the help of the baking soda, you can remove the excess oil in your hair and rid your hair of the bad odour. While baking soda may be a strong component, oatmeal lightens the effect with its antioxidant properties, which takes care of your scalp.

3/4

Corn starch and Rice flour

After arranging two tablespoon of cornstarch and rice flour each, you need to mix the two well in order to get a fine powder. After that you put the mixture into a container and use a small brush to apply the powder on you scalp. While the corn starch assures a non-sticky scalp, rice flour protects your hair from harmly UV rays and strengthens you hair strands.

4/4

Cornstarch, Cocoa powder and Cinnamon powder

Firstly, you must mix all the three ingredients in a container. Then use a brush to apply it so that no area is left untouched. This combination of dry shampoo is best suited for dry hair. The cornstarch strengthens your hair and removes all the oil from it. The cocoa and cinnamon powder brings back the lustre in your hair and helps your hair smell good.
