I wash my hair once a week. I use a non toxic shampoo and since I switched I notice a HUGE difference in how often I need to wash my hair. I make a dry shampoo similar to this but instead of cornstarch I use organic arrowroot powder, organic unsweetened cocoa powder, rosemary essential oil and tea tree essential oil. Works like a charm!!
I use cornstarch for dry shampoo too, and I love it way more than any spray dry shampoo I’ve ever used. I find it works best if I use it before bed, and by morning my hair isn’t greasy.
THANK YOU SOOOO much.... i had dandruff (i think) and nothing was working ... i eventually cut my hair short so i could wash it more often thinking that might help .... it didnt!!! ..... i tried the baking soda in my shampoo.... i cannot tell you how grateful i am for this tip ... i wash my hair once a week and my dandruff is GONE!!!! COMPLETELY GONE!!! IT DOESNT COME BACK.. i also use the apple cider vinegar rinse and today i made and used the dry shampoo for the first time .....i love it!!!! this video is a hair care treasure trove .... i let my hair air dry and then i just brush it through with my hot brush (like 1 minute!!) and i USE NO ADDITIONAL PRODUCTS (my hair looks great). Thank you :)
@@danaharry1741 yes and i condition scalp and hair with 1:3 ratio apple cider vinegar and water (let it sit for about 3 minutes and wash it out) and then i condition the ends of my hair (from neck down) with a regular conditioner (let it sit a couple minutes and rinse). i dont do the baking soda every wash (once every 2 weeks or so). And try it on a small section of your scalp the first time ... just to see how your scalp responds first). Hope this helps you :)
@@shabanazaheer1819 shampoo, rinse, then diluted apple cider vinegar (leave in for about 3 minutes) then I rinse it out and apply a regular conditioner (ONLY from the neck down, not from the scalp). Hope this helps. (for my acv rinse i use 1 part acv to 2 parts water)
I wash my hair about once a week or as needed. I have natural curly hair which means that my natural oils don't always make it very far down the shafts of my hair. With curly hair you have to be careful about washing it so that is does not get dried out and brittle. Because curly hair can get dried out very easily and regularly I always use a leave in conditioner. There are some natural products that can be used in a diy recipe such as coconut oil or shea butter. Thank you for sharing all your wonderful knowledge!!
I wash my hair every 2-3 days. I love your hair care tips! We've recently been switching all of our food and household products to more natural options. So I am really thankful for the DIY dry shampoo trick! So excited to try it out! 🙂
Thank you. Good easy tip. I would question using vinegar after conditioner though, as it will strip the conditioner out of your hair. The vinegar makes your hair feel smooth because it makes the cuticles along the hair shaft lie flat, but it also cuts through oils from conditioner and will rinse that off as well. I would suggest conditioning after the vinegar rinse rather than before. Or just ditching the conditioner and saving your money.
I am actually getting away with 4-6 days and I understand from my hairdresser once a week is good. I too use arrowroot, cacao, and essential oils. Thank you for your recipe and tips for clarifying shampoo.
My best dry shampoo tip is to put it on freshly cleaned hair as soon as it's dry. It goes on easier and keeps your hair looking good longer than waiting to use dry shampoo on day two or three 💕
Thanks Melissa! Great Tips. I wash my hair once a week. It does take about a month to get it where the oil doesn't build up and you don't look like a grease rag. 😁I use dry shampoo about once a week now, but wanted to go to something less toxic. This is a perfect recipe. I love your tips on how to apply it with the added bonus hair tips. 💛
I wash my hair about once a week. But no sooner than three days. I have curly hair so it can be a bit unruly. I will shampoo and condition it in the shower. I start with warm water and finish with cold water. When I get out I blot my hair dry then spray on some apple cider vinegar. Next I add sweet almond oil to my ends. My hair is soft and the curls look much nicer. I don't need to worry about volume or bouncy hair I only need to worry about flat curls. And my regimen helps with that. I can keep it going and looking good for about a week. Love your videos!
I will definitely use this. Like this morning. The one thing that I would love to find is a dry shampoo that would not only address the oily hair, but also the stink that comes from the bacteria from not washing my hair as often. Any ideas?
Thanks so much. I have been using d/shampoo from the supermarket and it has made me so dry and flaky. It's awful. I especially notice my scalp itches after using it and after shampooing. So now I will be making my own and can't wait to see how it works on my hair. Thin hair so hard to keep looking clean.
I've only just started using dry shampoo and am a bit nervous about spraying all that 'stuff' onto my hair and scalp. I will definitely try the corn starch (as I am a blonde). Thanks Melissa for doing all the hard work for us. You're a legend! Cheers from Australia. :)
I Wash my hair two or three times a week. Didn't know you had this other channel. Excited I found it & congratulations & prayers for your up and coming arrival... 👶🏻💝
I wash, brush, and put my hair into a ponytail because my hair turns to grease quickly. If I tuck it behind my ears a couple times after shampooing, it will explode into a grease pit. Thanks for the tips. I loved the video.
I'm going to try this asap. I have super oily, natural blomde hair. Dirt and oil really seem to show up more readily on light coloured hair. I have to wash daily. Thanks Melissa for the awesome tips! God bless!
I liked the video and I'm trying to make sense on rinsing your hear after using a DIY dry shampoo. So, if you need to rinse it why not to wash it with water and do your routine? Did I miss something? The sound in video is not to good
Hey melissa..!!! I m a huge fan of yours and never miss a single video.... I live in India and its really hot here so I do wash my hair every other day... I always wanted to have a very simple and handy recipe for dry shampoo.....and u just came up with it... thank you sooo much...really liked the video
When I had long hair I used to wash every four days or so. It was easier to get away with since I'd do an updo the last two days. Now that I have a short bob I wash every other day. Can't wait to try this, thank you!!
The first one really works and I love the coco powder idea because I have dark brown hair and I hate looking like a grandma after I regular dry shampoo
Amazing! I recently began replacing my chemical-laden products with natural homemade alternatives and feel so good about it. Coconut oil, ACV, and aloe Vera (fresh!) are my holy trinity lol. Quick question about the ACV rinse that you do - I’ve heard that ACV can be quite drying on hair, and so I’d be a bit nervous to use it after conditioning. Do you have thoughts on using it as a pre-wash treatment? Or do you advise def doing post-wash? Thanks beauty! X
I'm able to go 6 and sometimes 7 days before I have to wash my hair. But that is of course unless I have done some heavy sweating or swimming in a pool or lake. But just everyday I can go six and sometimes 7 days. Occasionally 5 days. I love the video.
I wash mine every 2-3 days usually. My scalp has been itchy and super flaky since we moved to a place with hard water (2 years ago). I am going to try putting baking soda in my shampoo and pray it works. Thank you for the tips!
2 -3 days between washing otherwise my hair resembles straw, and if I have used a dry shampoo I will use a tea tree based shampoo because that clarify's my hair like no body's business. Ordinary days it's just a regular shampoo and for those fine dry ends I get I found a cream (Percy and Reeds Overnight Wonder something) and I have had comments on how amazing it works, bonus is you apply to dry hair. It's pricey but for the amount you need... It works out pretty well.
Over the past year and a half I've been able to "train" my hair I only wash it every 4 or 5 days now and used dry shampoo a lot more when I was in the oily stages of this process. I usually use it once in the 4 -5 day to help in styling my hair for when I go to work. It really started out as me trying to save shampoo so that I wouldn't be spending a lot of money when I moved out of home 2 years ago and so far it's worked really well. Recently I dyed my hair a dark black purple blue colour and try to wash it as little as possible to keep the colour longer.
I'm having neck surgery and will be in a brace for 3 months. The chemicals I read on all the dry shampoos scared the crap out of me. Praying this helps!
I have dyed hair that is red. I was worried the full amount of coco powder would be too dark. So I did half the amount. I didnt make as much in case I didn't like it. Did 1 tablespoon corn starch half cocoa powder. Worked well. You could see the powder on my natural hair a bit(roots)..kind of dulled it... but not the red dyed parts.
You can use baby powder too. If your hair isn't super oily. Just use a tiny bit at a time and that works too. Like if you don't have anything else to use at the time. If your a blond you can use as much as you need tho.
as far as I know, the cocoa powder is mostly there to make the powder darker so that it doesn't show on dark hair. So I guess if you are a blonde you can just leave it out.
i wash my hair every 2-3 days but that is going to change because i am going zero waste so that is why i looked this up. I think everyone should go zero waste it is better for you and the environment.
@@CatholicK5357 Zero waste means you are producing the least amount of waste possible. It is not wasting the dry shampoo once used because it isn't being wasted, it is being used and you create less waste because of it and use less water because using shampoo normally means you have to buy shampoo in a bottle. If you make this you are lessening the amount of shampoo bought which means you would be lessening the amount of waste produced. If you already buy refillable shampoo then that's great, but with refillable, it can be pricey so this is a good way to cut costs while staying zero waste. Also, this dry shampoo is compostable so when you do wash it out/ it falls out it won't hurt the environment.
I have really short, very dry hair so I only wash it about once a week. Last time I went 3 weeks. But I don't sweat a lot and I don't usually use styling products so it really doesn't get very dirty. I do rinse every time I shower so some of the potential gunk gets rinsed out. I tried the baking soda/shampoo trick the last time I washed my hair and it was fabulous. My usually coarse crispy hair is very clean and soft.
My hair is naturally brunette but is dyed red. What do you suggest instead of the coco powder. And do you have any tips to help keep my red hair dye look vibrant longer? Thank you!
Try massage your scalp with salt (yes, salt!) before washing your hair. You can a little water to make it a bit tender for your scalp. I had the same problem before and it worked for me. Other alternative, try use shampoo with menthol/mint/teatree essentials. It helps reduce the itch. Good luck!
croccatcher it’s unlikely, but you may have lice? I had lice a few years ago and my scalp was so itchy, it drove me nuts. Maybe get your scalp checked in case?
I live in South Carolina, and our summers are brutally humid. Therefore, I wash my hair almost every day in the summer time. Our winters are not brutally cold, however, we have a winter season, and I wash my hair every 2-3 days during the cold weather. Thank you for the dry shampoo tips.
I find all your videos helpful, and will be turning to them even more because my sister, who has dementia (at 63 years young) will be moving in with me, and I will have to be at the top of my game in cleaning and organizing. Oy!
Aren't you supposed to comb out the dry shampoo after you left it sit and do it's job?? I can't think of why hair is going crusty unless people are leaving it in.... :/
I have the worst hair even it's so frizzy it drives me insane. Just recently I have been finding within a day it is needing washing more. So if I am not going out I leave it greasy for longer because I heard it helps replenish the oils.
So simple. Equal parts cocoa powder and corn starch. Will have to do this to reduce how much i wash my hair (i wash it almost everyday due to greasiness) and now i am getting hair loss. I dont like aerosols due to global warming from hydrocarbons in them and lush dry shampoo is 20$ pretty expensive given its really only cornstarch and essential oils.
Hey Melissa! I have been trying to make my hair amazing and I haven’t succeeded. My hair always looks like it hasn’t been brushed even ten seconds after I brush it and it gets greasy so quickly. In addition to that, after I wash my hair it still looks greasy and unclean. I have tried many different kinds of shampoo, including dandruff shampoo. I have tried not using conditioner. I have tried switching the order I do. I have tried washing in cold water. And I have not found any solution for any of my problems. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks!
I wash my hair once a day, and it was twice when I went to the gym. I've stopped that second time and just done a rinse and finger massage on my scalp after my gym time.
1-2 times a week. My problem is that I have kind of dry hair. I am trying to find an oil or a product to my hair that will make it silk, CAN SOMEONE HELP ME?♡ My hair gets really static when using a straightener:(
@@rashikarnik7087 Thank you!! I have actually went over to CGM, and found out that my hair is wave-curly😄 Now I use a curl-cream and an good oil, that helps. Btw L'Oréal probably has sulfates and silicones in it?
I use to use normal cheap shampoo. I’ve switch to 99 percent avocado and coconut shampoo/conditioner. Hairburst is the brand I used. It’s not the most expensive shampoo/conditioner. I recommend using hairburst!
Thank you for saving us a ton of money, Melissa!! I love your videos on this channel, however they always seem to be WAY quieter than those from the CMS channel. What gives, yo? Lol
I can't go more than say 36 hours without washing my hair becausr i have skin issues and if i don't I get super itchy and then flakey :( I've tried several times to go without washing my hair
The tutorial starts at 1:37

I naturally have oily hair . So 3 days, is usually my max. Rarely, 4 days. However, I can't stand oily hair.

Flour also works if u don’t have cornstarch!
This comment is what i needed. Thank u so damn MUCH
Do I need to use a specific corn starch? Or is any brand effective?
Flour doesn’t have absorbing properties like cornstarch, so it wouldn’t work.
Potato starch works great
Use potato starch instead. Flour does not absorb oil from your scalp and might create those gooey paste if in contact with water

Amazing! I recently began replacing my chemical-laden products with natural homemade alternatives and feel so good about it. Coconut oil, ACV, and aloe Vera (fresh!) are my holy trinity lol.

Thanks beauty! X

what do you do if you have light hair? just the corn starch or do i replace the coco powder with something else?
can you use only corn starch and if not what are alternates for coco powder

Oh that's a really interesting tip about the tea tree...and I am going to look into that product!
I wash my hair every other day. I use dry shampoo on the other days. I'll have to give your"recipe" a try!
Does it work?
Over the past year and a half I've been able to "train" my hair I only wash it every 4 or 5 days now and used dry shampoo a lot more when I was in the oily stages of this process.

Omg I tried the cornstarch and coco powder hmmmm I smelt like chocolate all day haha
I have oily hair, so I wash every other day most of the time. I like the diy dry shampoo for brunettes. Thanks for sharing.
I have the same problem!! And my younger sister can go 2-3 days without washing with no problem!!
But one question: doesnt Cocoa powder smell? I mean a Bit like chocolate? Which cocoa powder should we use? RAW/Sweetend/Unsweetend?
Same doubt for me... Probably not sweetened....
unsweetend and yes u smell like chocolate
What would you recommend for a redhead?
I have dyed hair that is red. I was worried the full amount of coco powder would be too dark. So I did half the amount. I didnt make as much in case I didn't like it. Did 1 tablespoon corn starch half cocoa powder. Worked well.

as far as I know, the cocoa powder is mostly there to make the powder darker so that it doesn't show on dark hair. So I guess if you are a blonde you can just leave it out.
I was wondering the same thing but as Daisy Chain said, just using the corn starch without the cocoa makes sense.
Thank you! That's what I thought too but wasn't sure. Cocoa powder sounds so yummy, so I hoped maybe there is something similar but for lighter hair
Yes just ditch it and use corn starch!

Wow - crazy the difference! Hope the video helps :)
I find all your videos helpful, and will be turning to them even more because my sister, who has dementia (at 63 years young) will be moving in with me, and I will have to be at the top of my game in cleaning and organizing. Oy!
What is the difference between cornflour and corn starch?
Is it normal cocoa or unsweeted ?
I wash daily . I will try the dry shampoo :-) thanks for sharing
does this work with black hair too? or will the cocoa powder stick out too much?
You can use charcoal powder instead of cocoa powder and cacao powder. 😃
Aren't you supposed to comb out the dry shampoo after you left it sit and do it's job?? I can't think of why hair is going crusty unless people are leaving it in.... :/
So I’m a blond so I’m going to leave out the coco powder but won’t it look like I have bad dandruff?
What could I use with the corn starch if I have black hair??
Would it matter if the powders are expired? I feel like it shouldn’t matter.
My hair is the colour of red onion so do I put a red onion In it ?
I read somewhere that you can use cinnamon
I have the worst hair even it's so frizzy it drives me insane. Just recently I have been finding within a day it is needing washing more. So if I am not going out I leave it greasy for longer because I heard it helps replenish the oils.
Yes it does - do you use a boar bristle brush at all to help spread the oils?
How often do you use the diy hair rinse?
So simple. Equal parts cocoa powder and corn starch. Will have to do this to reduce how much i wash my hair (i wash it almost everyday due to greasiness) and now i am getting hair loss. I dont like aerosols due to global warming from hydrocarbons in them and lush dry shampoo is 20$ pretty expensive given its really only cornstarch and essential oils.
Yay! So early. I'll definitely try these! Love all your vids. God Bless and thank you for sharing all your knowledge with us!!
Thanks so much and enjoy!
What can we use in place of cocoa powder?
You can use cacao powder instead of cocoa powder. 😃
Hey Melissa! I have been trying to make my hair amazing and I haven’t succeeded. My hair always looks like it hasn’t been brushed even ten seconds after I brush it and it gets greasy so quickly. In addition to that, after I wash my hair it still looks greasy and unclean. I have tried many different kinds of shampoo, including dandruff shampoo. I have tried not using conditioner. I have tried switching the order I do. I have tried washing in cold water. And I have not found any solution for any of my problems. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks!
This recently popped up with me. My issue is no running hot water. I'm trying a vinegar rinse.
Wat if u have black hair?
Cocoa will work also!
Add a bunch o' chocolate :)
I saw a diy recipe that used activated charcoal for black hair instead of the cocoa.
great idea! I can't wait to try this!!!
I hope you like it!
Love your videos Melissa! 💕
I wash my hair once a day, and it was twice when I went to the gym. I've stopped that second time and just done a rinse and finger massage on my scalp after my gym time.
If you aint got corn starch you can use powder 😉
My hairs green, can i use matcha lol?
what if you are allergic to cocoa powder? is there anything else I can use?
What's your hair color
it's 12:49 am on a school night and I don't wanna shower int he morning but my hair is super greasy and I lost my dry shampoo so in here lol
1-2 times a week. My problem is that I have kind of dry hair. I am trying to find an oil or a product to my hair that will make it silk, CAN SOMEONE HELP ME?♡ My hair gets really static when using a straightener:(
Ö Ä there are a lot of shampoos by loreal that are perfect for dry hair as they are oil based :)
@@rashikarnik7087 Thank you!! I have actually went over to CGM, and found out that my hair is wave-curly😄 Now I use a curl-cream and an good oil, that helps. Btw L'Oréal probably has sulfates and silicones in it?
Does it attract bugs? Serious question.
I didn't see your comment, but I just asked this too. That would be my concern as well.
I use to use normal cheap shampoo. I’ve switch to 99 percent avocado and coconut shampoo/conditioner. Hairburst is the brand I used. It’s not the most expensive shampoo/conditioner. I recommend using hairburst!
Thank you for saving us a ton of money, Melissa!!
I love your videos on this channel, however they always seem to be WAY quieter than those from the CMS channel. What gives, yo? Lol
I can't go more than say 36 hours without washing my hair becausr i have skin issues and if i don't I get super itchy and then flakey :( I've tried several times to go without washing my hair
Would this attract ants? I'm going camping and there won't be showers so I'm considering this.
Probably not with unsweetened cocoa- ants would more likely be drawn to sugar.
I wash my hair every 2-3 days. It's to get long, brunette, and very thick. I also have an oily scalp.
unfortunately my hair is sooo greasy and dry shampoo only takes me $1 day after a wash, so washing my hair every other day :(
if your a blond do you just use cornstarch?
Yes
So if you're blonde, it's just cornstarch?
I have Blonde / Gray hair
