I actually use Avalon Organics Baby Powder (which is made of mostly cornstarch!) in place of dry shampoo. I totally love using dry shampoo every day I don’t shower, but it was getting really expensive to buy, especially since the “cheap stuff” like Tresemme is all animal tested and I won’t touch it.

I’ve honestly had this tiny bottle of baby powder forever and it really works, but I never thought to add cocoa powder to help fight the chalky colour that it gives to my roots!

In reply to Bobbie {the vegan crew}. I would play it by ear. Start with just a sprinkle. It's much easier to add more later and re-do the process than to start with too much.

Sometimes I can get away with washing my hair every other day, but by the end of day two it’s usually not looking so hot. This would be a great time saver! Thanks for the tip. Approximately how much would you suggest using at a time?

In reply to Jenn Staz. Cornstarch is a pretty fine powder. It's not quite as fine as powdered sugar, but it's not as grainy as salt either. For your hair, I would definitely add the cocoa powder!

This is an amazing recipe! I’m not even sure what cornstarch looks like… but does it leave larger particles in your hair, or is it finely milled? I actually just used dry shampoo today for the first time in a while and am SO happy with the results, especially after using a shine spray on top of it, since the one I use leaves a bit of a chalky residue on my dark brown hair.

I will surely be trying this!!
