DIY All Natural Dry Shampoo for Blondes and Brunettes

In this fast pace life we have to be on our toes at all times and there are days we do not get enough time to groom ourselves properly and be at our best. Specially to meet deadlines and reach school or work on time, we tend to skip shampooing our hair and unfortunately have to go around with a bad hair day with limp, dull and greasy hair. For bad hair days or for days when you just do not have time for a shampoo, Dry Shampoo works best and can save ample time while giving the same result as a shampoo.

What is Dry Shampoo?

Dry Shampoo is a fast and easy hack for unshampooed hair to give them a fresh and clean look. Dry Shampoo is basically a product containing alcohol and artificial agents that soak up excess oil and grease, giving a freshly washed look. Available in a spray form with a pleasant scent too, Dry Shampoo often includes chemical drying agents that harm the hair follicles and makes the hair rough and damaged with prolonged use.

Is there a DIY All Natural Chemical Free Dry Shampoo?

Dry Shampoos can leave the hair rough and damaged with continued use and are also not safe for the environment as well. Chemical ingredients are not safe for the hair, but there is an all natural chemical free variant of the Dry Shampoo that you can make at home, from ingredients that are available in your kitchen cabinet. This DIY All Natural Recipe has separate versions for blondes and brunettes and that makes it safe to use and is quite inexpensive and the best thing about it is that it has no chemicals in it, and gives even better results than store bought aerosol cans of Dry Shampoo.
