Dry shampoo, by now, is an essential for pretty much every girl out there who knows that washing your hair every day is not necessary. It eliminates oils from the scalp and keeps it looking clean as if it was just washed but it’s also great for styling to give the hair texture and a cool matte finish. But if you’re dark haired, dry shampoo can show up on the hair giving it a gray color that is a bit unsightly. For that we have a great dark haired DIY dry shampoo that your hair color will love.
You’ll need these items:
1. Corn starch
2. Unsweetened cocoa powder
3. Essential oil of your choice
4. Empty salt shaker
Now follow these steps:
Step 1. In a small bowl, add ½ cup of corn starch. The corn starch will help absorb the oils from your hair and give it a nice matte texture.
Step 2. Add ½ of cocoa to the bowl. This is the ingredient that caters to dark-haired ladies as the cocoa is dark and will disappear on your hair as opposed to regular dry shampoo that gives your hair a whitish or greyish hue.
Step 3. Add a few drops of essential oil. You can use however much oil you’d like and can use more than one scent so this part is completely up to you. Lavender is a favorite because it’s soothing but any essential oil will do. Mix well.
Step 4. Fill the salt shaker with the mixture. After you’ve incorporated all of the ingredients, fill the salt shaker. There will be a bit of the mixture left over but store this in a container for future use.
