DIY Dry Shampoo

I've been meaning to wash my hair less for years now. I've always washed my hair daily but have heard for years and years that we really should be washing our hair 1-3 times a week.

Yikes!

This is a scary thought when you have oily hair.

What's interesting though is when I ask people with long, beautiful,shiny hair how often they wash it, the common answer is 1-2 times a week.

For about a month now I've been training my hair to be washed every 1-2 days. I actually like how it looks on day two! Day three I'm thinking ya, I need to shampoo...

What's made this doable for me is dry shampoo. Super easy to make and super easy to use.

Mix together. Rub it in your scalp. Done.

There's a recipe here that has ingredients for both dark and light hair - if you don't rub it in properly you could look "dusty." I haven't had this problem though, I find it rubs in quite nicely and naturally.

Since I didn't have all the ingredients listed in the link above, I've just been using this mixture:

• 2 tbsp baking soda
• 2 tbsp cornstarch
• 5-7 drops of lavender essential oil

I just mix it up in a bowl and put it in a spice shaker.

This mixture has been working perfectly fine for me and it smells great too!
