We all have those days when laziness takes preference over washing your hair.

Dry shampoo costs money. And, with the current drought threatening water supply across the country, it may be wise to invest in creating your own dry shampoo.

You can make your own dry shampoo with the help of the wellness mama ,who has given us the gift of an all natural remedy, Southlands Sun reports.

You will need the following ingredients to make your own dry shampoo:

• 1/4 cup arrowroot powder (which you can purchase on online South African stores or your local health stores) or organic cornstarch or  2 tablespoons arrowroot/cornstarch + 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 5 drops of essential oil of choice (optional- I use lavender)
• An old make-up brush to apply

Add the drops of essential oil into the arrowroot or cornstarch and mix with a spoon. Store the mix in a small jar or old powder container.

“Apply with an old make-up brush to the roots or oily parts of your hair. Applying with the brush is optional, but it removes the need to comb through as much and is better for styled hair. If you don’t use the brush, comb the powder through your hair and style as usual,” she added.
