I swear by this DIY All Natural Dry Shampoo! Made with 2 ingredients which are probably in your pantry right now! Works better than store bought!
I love using regular dry shampoo, but found that I go through the spray stuff so quickly! Plus it can be expensive and who knows what kinds of chemicals are lurking in there. We don’t love having aerosols around the house, so I found a better way to refresh my hair and keep the bad stuff out of the bathroom.
With just 2 ingredients this dry shampoo is quick to make a batch of and keep in your bathroom for hair emergencies. Is especially perfect for the weekends where I’ve been doing a ton of yard/wood work and then have to grab a few things at the store (and want to look somewhat civilized without taking the time to wash my hair).
This Dry Shampoo Recipe Is:
- Easy to Make & Use
- Cost Effective
- Will Take any Oils out of your Hair
- Amazing smelling
- Hair Stylist approved (I told my hair dresser, and he LOVED this idea!)
Since I have brown hair, I use an equal amount of arrowroot powder and cacao… but if you have lighter hair, then use less cacao for a lighter shampoo. Also, note that this smells aaamazing. Your hair will smell like dessert, so be prepared.

This is awesome! I’ve been trying to stay away from using products in aerosol cans so I’ll have to try this out!
Awesome! It works so well too – does the job just as well as the commercial stuff 🙂
