WASHING your hair can be a total chore, but dry shampoo products can be expensive, especailly if you reach for them a lot.

That's why one savvy woman shared the DIY dry shampoo she makes at home, and there's one for every hair colour too.


Olivia Shaffer shared the money-saving trick on Instagram and says she swears by the homemade powder.

Since she has blonde hair, Olivia makes the powder using 2 tbsp of arrowroot powder and half a tbsp of cocoa powder.

After mixing the ingredients together she adds it to a small pot and applies it to the roots of her locks using an old makeup brush,

She said: "You can adjust the colour exactly to you and your hair colour.

"I used to always use regular dry shampoo, it was just white at the roots of my hair and I thought, ew."

"It works like a charm, is like a dollar to make, all natural, no weird, gross toxic ingredients," the beauty fan added.

If your hair is darker, Oliva suggested slightly altering the recipe, to use equal parts of the cocoa and arrowroot powder.

Redheads should mix together equal parts of paprika and arrowroot powder, she said.
