DIY Dry Shampoo With Essential Oils

How to make all natural DIY dry shampoo

 This  all natural dry shampoo recipe with essential oils is a great way to keep your hair looking, smelling, and feeling great for those days between washes.

Make your mornings easier by using dry shampoo.  You won’t need to spend time shampooing, conditioning, combing out the tangles, and blow drying your hair.  Just use this and give yourself a few extra days in between washes.

This all natural DIY dry shampoo will keep your hair from looking too oily and if you add the essential oils, you will help encourage your hair to grow and condition the scalp!

Why use Homemade Dry Shampoo?

It’s okay to give your hair a break from the shampoo every once in a while.  In fact, it’s good to give it a rest.

Over washing can strip hair of it’s natural oils and dry it out.   When this happens, your body will try to produce more oils to compensate and now you have even oilier hair.  It can lead to a vicious cycle.

Give your hair and scalp a few extra days in between washes.  If your hair starts to look too oily, you can use this dry shampoo.  The ingredients in the dry shampoo will soak up the oils and keep your hair looking and smelling fresh.

There are many benefits to making your own homemade dry shampoo.  The biggest is that you’ll know exactly what’s in it and can feel confident that it is non-toxic and contains only clean, safe ingredients.

Ingredients and Supplies for your DIY Dry Shampoo

This homemade dry shampoo only uses a couple of ingredients.  Arrowroot powder, and essential oils.  Depending on your hair color, you can add cocoa powder so that you can’t see the white powder in your hair.

Arrowroot powder

Arrow Root Powder is the main ingredient in this recipe.  It will soak up the oils and sweat in your hair and make it look cleaner.

Make sure you get an organic, non-gmo version like this one.

Cocoa Powder (for dark hair)

If you have dark hair, you’ll want to use cocoa powder for color.   I recommend finding an organic non-gmo cocoa powder like this highly rated and reasonably priced cocoa powder on Amazon.  I like that this one comes in a smaller size and doesn’t cost a lot.

All Natural Make Up Brush to Apply Dry Shampoo

You’ll want to use a makeup brush to apply your homemade dry shampoo.  I recommend finding an all natural eco-friendly brush if possible.  Let’s all do our part to use sustainable, renewable items so that we can leave this earth a better place.

I love this makeup brush from Eco Tools.  It’s 100% cruelty free, made from recycled materials, and the handle is made from bamboo, which is one of the fasted renewable resources on the planet!  

Essential Oils that are Beneficial for hair growth and scalp conditioning

This recipe calls for three essential oils that are good for hair growth, and condition the scalp.

Peppermint Essential Oil

Rosemary Essential Oil

Lavender Essential Oil

How to Apply Your Homemade Dry Shampoo

To apply your dry shampoo, use a makeup brush and apply it to the roots of your hair where it’s needed.  Brush out the excess.
