I’m going to show you how to make dry shampoo without the toxic rubbish that’s in your store-bought version so you can have ‘clean hair’ even if you haven’t washed it for a few days.
How to make dry shampoo
I have ALWAYS washed my hair at least every second day. Even when I had newborns, I couldn’t go more than that time without washing my hair. I just can’t stand the look of it being greasy. Yes I probably should have just gotten over it but that was probably something that helped me feel sane.
Clean hair = got my sh!t together. haha if only right?

These days, my hair routine goes a little like this:
Day 1 – wash hair at night and let it air dry
Day 2 – probably straighten my hair
Day 3 – leave it as is
Day 4 – dry shampoo
Day 5 – dry shampoo and curl or some sort of styling
Day 6 – wash (or rinse it to get another day out of it)
Seriously that’s it. But I don’t use any of that rubbish from the supermarket. I make my own dry shampoo from a few ingredients I have at home.

Seriously it’s the easiest thing ever. Oh and if you have brown hair, add a bit of cacao (yep the stuff you eat) to darken it.
I use essential oils in mine not just to make it smell nice:
- Rosemary oil – great for hair growth and thickness
- Lavender oil – keeps it shiny and prevents dandruff
- Tea Tree oil – cleansing, antibacterial and antimicrobial and can help unplug hair follicles and increase hair growth
I mix mine up and store it in a glass jar. One batch lasted me a few months.
When it’s time to apply, I use a makeup brush to brush it on. I highly recommend doing it before you get dressed so you don’t cover yourself in white powder. That might not be a great look.
I made a little video demo for you too.
I use doTERRA essential oils in my hair/skincare products. If you’d like me to send you a little sample of the oils I use for dry shampoo (so you can make your own) pop your details in below and I’ll be in touch.
