Busy mornings can rely on homemade dry shampoo, learn the easy way
In the morning rush, you may need to leave for office, university, or an important task, but with oily hair and no time to shampoo—dry shampoo can be an effective solution in such situations. However, many dry shampoos available in the market contain various chemical ingredients, which can risk scalp damage with regular use.

According to experts, using very simple ingredients, a natural dry shampoo can be made at home, which helps absorb excess oil from hair and quickly provides a fresh feeling.

What you need

  • 1/4 cup arrowroot powder or cornstarch
  • 1-2 tablespoons cocoa powder (suitable for dark hair)
  • 5-10 drops essential oil (lavender, rosemary, or tea tree oil)

How to make it

In a clean bowl, mix arrowroot or cornstarch well with cocoa powder. Then add a few drops of your preferred essential oil and mix again. Store the mixture in an airtight glass container for long-term use.

How to use

First, comb your hair well and part it. Then, using a makeup brush or cotton, apply a small amount of dry shampoo to the scalp. Gently massage with your fingers to spread the powder to the hair roots. Wait two to three minutes, then shake off excess powder or comb through.

Some precautions

  • Do not use excessive essential oil.
  • Dry shampoo is not a substitute for regular shampoo; it is only a temporary solution.
  • Avoid use if you have scalp irritation, allergies, or infection.
  • To keep the scalp healthy, it is necessary to wash hair with water and regular shampoo at specific intervals.

In a busy life, this homemade natural dry shampoo can be a simple, affordable, and relatively safe solution to save time.
