Cornstarch or Arrowroot Powder: These kitchen staples work similarly to dry shampoo by absorbing oil and refreshing the scalp.
Baby Powder: Baby powder can be used as a quick substitute for dry shampoo. Apply a small amount to your roots, focusing on oily areas, and blend it in with your fingers or a brush.
Cocoa Powder (for Dark Hair): If you have dark hair, cocoa powder can be used as a dry shampoo alternative. It absorbs oil and adds a subtle scent.
Rice Flour: Rice flour is very absorbent and can help absorb oil from the scalp. Lightly dust it onto the roots, let it sit for a few minutes, and then brush it through.
DIY Herbal Hair Powder: Blend dried herbs like lavender, rosemary, or chamomile with arrowroot powder to create a natural, scented dry shampoo alternative.
Baking Soda: While more abrasive than other alternatives, baking soda can effectively absorb oil. Use sparingly and avoid using it too frequently as it can be drying to the scalp.
Vodka Spray: Mix vodka with water and a few drops of essential oil in a spray bottle. Spritz lightly onto the roots and allow it to evaporate to refresh hair and eliminate odors.
Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) Rinse: Dilute ACV with water and use it as a rinse to help balance scalp oils and refresh hair.
