How to Use Dry Shampoo on Your Hair
Dry shampoo is always applied at the roots of the hair. Use a brush or a comb and separate sections of your hair, shaking the powder onto your scalp. Massage it into the surrounding hair and let it sit for approximately two minutes—just enough time to absorb all that oil! When you’re finished brush the dry shampoo through your hair until it is no longer visible.
Therapeutic Benefits of This Homemade Dry Shampoo
• The above recipe is simple and inexpensive.
• The Reeth or soap nut powder used here is a natural cleansing agent. It is highly recommended for oily hair and improves volume.
• Shikkai powder Is both a cleanser and mild conditioner. It promotes hair growth, strengthens hair roots, improves dandruff, and can help add volume and shine. It is ideal for dry hair.
• Hibiscus powder promotes healthy hair growth, prevents hair loss, and thickens hair. It will impart a burgundy to black cherry color, so may not be suited for lighter hair colors.
• Amla powder stimulates hair growth, prevents graying, and strengthens hair at the root.
• Lavender oil is nourishing and gives a pleasant smell to the dry shampoo powder.
