Avoid single use packaging and make your own dry shampoo. One of our lovely customers, Lydia, sent us this recipe. Perfect for festival and camping season!

There seems to be lots of different recipes around but we’ve found this simple one works:

1 Tbsp Bi Carbonate of Soda (approx 6p)

2 Tbsp Arrowroot (approx 20p)

To add colour to your dry shampoo mix in Cocoa Powder (shades of brown), Cinnamon (lighter hair colour and shades of red) or Charcoal Powder (darker brown and black)

You can add a few drops of essential oil if you wish to add a scent

Method:

Mix dry ingredients together, if adding essential oils add a couple of drops and mix well. Transfer to airtight container. To use, pinch a small amount out of container and sprinkle on roots and brush through.
