Wow! I just tried the wet/dry shampoo spray recipe. Added tea tree oil. Very impressed! I have dark brown (dyed) very straight and fine hair It will be nice to have my color last a little longer. Adds a lot of volume too. Far better than the spray I just bought at the drugstore. Sprayed a little on my hand to check the smell before applying and almost passed out from the fumes. Smelled like Jean Nate mixed with Hai Karate and a hint of Love’s Baby Soft.

I’m so grateful for finding this recipe. I bought some dry shampoo for an “end of life” stage lady I help with. She’s unable to talk and is sleeping all the time but we haven’t been able to do anything but a sponge bath for a week now. Thank you

I used just the arrowroot and put it into an empty Evo haze pump bottle and it works brilliantly, thank you!

Hi, there,
Love your blog! Thanks for sharing so many great recipes.

I have straw for hair and would like to try minimizing shampooing to twice/week and supplementing with this recipe. Wondering if alcohol or witch hazel will have a drying affect on my tresses?

In reply to laura. I'd love your recipes, too, if you don't mind! I have such a sensitive scalp and am currently spending WAY too much money on shampoo/conditioner that won't hurt me. ?

In reply to Busha. Wow! I’m amazed at how well this works. I used tapioca powder (because I didn’t have arrowroot) and cocoa powder. I took a before/after pic and am in awe.

In reply to Traci. This is an older post, but I couldn't help being shocked at someone saying that chocolate doesn't hurt dogs. I worked in a vet clinic for 12 years, and saw many many dogs get sick from it. Some died. Your post is irresponsible, so stop sharing this horribly inaccurate information.

In reply to laura. I would like to know too. I can't shampoo bought at a store.

In reply to Lindsey. A few drops of essential oils in the whole recipe will not make your hair greasier. In fact, essential oils are very volatile and aren’t greasy to begin with.

In reply to Lina.

Hi Lina, I agree, not giving up shampoo… however I have learnt how to DIY shampoo bars (the ones with SCS coconut surfactants) and it’s even better than bought shampoo! Then I got inspired and learnt how to make conditioner bars too! I feel like with all the wonderful ingredients I put in them, I’m really pampering my hair like never before (since I can’t justify the cost of super premium shampoos and conditioners). The shampoo bars I make cost me about $4.50 AUD (that’s about US$3) and last at least as long as a standard size bottle of shampoo.

That seriously worked! I’ve used store bought versions that don’t work as well as this stuff. Made up a small batch of the liquid version and my greasy hair feels clean and soft again, also feels like this is a safe option than the stuff I usually buy 🙂

Can i use dry shampoo everyday?

Do you think you could combine the dry shampoo spray recipe with your salt texturizing spray? I recently tried a texturizing dry shampoo that I really liked from the store but the alcohol in it made my scalp itchy, so I want to try a more natural approach.

This worked amazing! I have blonde hair with a bunch of natural highlights, and just a little bit of cocoa powder with the cornstarch made it perfect! Absolutely loved it!
