Clean hair isn’t the easiest to style. When I was getting married, I remember my hair dresser telling me to not wash my hair the day of the wedding. She said “dirty” hair was better to work with for the up-do I was planning to get. For those days when you want to have more cooperative hair to work with, but don’t want to sacrifice clean hair, try a dry shampoo.
Dry shampoo will absorb the excess oil in your hair and give it extra volume. Hair will still be easy to style into whatever up-do or look you are going for. I’ve already shared a dry shampoo for dark hair and today I’m sharing one for blondes. Wait till you ready how easy peasy it is to make!

Dry Shampoo for Blondes

Ingredients
The cornstarch and arrowroot will absorb the excess oil and the essential oil will give it a nice soft scent. It’s also great to use if you want to hide dark roots until you can get into the salon for upkeep.
I found arrowroot at Bulk Barn, but they also sell it on Amazon. I’m sure you already have cornstarch in your pantry since it’s used so much in cooking and baking.
Have you ever made your own dry shampoo?

I have never tried to make my own dry shampoo , but I have both arrowroot and cornstarch in my pantry. What happens if a brunette uses this dry shampoo rather than the cocoa powder one?
Stacie says
I honestly don’t know! I think it might leave it with some white streaks in it? Not sure though. If you try it, let me know how it turns out!!

Great “recipe”, Stacie! I’ve always wanted to make my own dry shampoo. I don’t have any arrowroot powder though. Do you know if you can replace this somehow? Say, with more cornstarch? Thanks! 🙂
Stacie says
Thanks Maisy! I think if you replaced it with cornstarch it should still work. If you try it, let me know!
Keri says
Wow! This is a really neat way to make dry shampoo.
