Dry Shampoo for Blondes
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. Wait till you ready how easy peasy it is to make!

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?

Wow! This is a really neat way to make dry shampoo.
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! 🙂
Thanks Maisy! I think if you replaced it with cornstarch it should still work. If you try it, let me know!
I’ve never thought about making my own dry shampoo, and I had no idea it’d be so easy! Thanks for linking up with Merry Monday this week.
Wow, who knew it would be so easy to make! I need to try this out!
Thanks you so much. I am always looking for something that works. I need to try this!
Thanks for this, Stacie. Had not heard of arrow root before. Looking forward to trying this recipe!

Dry shampoo is a lifesaver sometimes!
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?
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!!
This is gonna save me so much money and mmmm eucalyptus!
I’ve never tried a dry shampoo but this looks easy to make.
Never knew about this, cornstarch can be used for shampooing 😮
Thanks for sharing.
I am going to share this with my friends, I can’t believe it’s that easy.
Omg I can’t believe it’s that easy. My blonde daughter is always having me pick up that dry spray shampoo and then she will wash it anyway a couple hours later. She WILL have to let me try this on her.
How genius of you
That is easy enough to make. Thanks for the recipe.
So I have a head full of grey hair, would this be the right dry shampoo to use on that?
will have to try this I find the bought dry shampoos leave my hair white
That is such a cool idea. If only I were blonde.
I have blonde hair and I need to get this and try it out. It looks like such a good dry shampoo to use when I can not wash my hair.
