In last week’s herb of the month we wrote about Orris and it’s uses, so we thought this week that we’d give you a recipe to go along with it – an easy peasy dry shampoo that will leave your hair feeling silky and smelling sweet, with minimal effort from you!
Ingredients:
10g Orris root powder
20g Arrowroot powder
20g Cornflour
Just sieve the powders into a bowl and mix thoroughly. To use, simply rub a pinch of the powder into your hair, paying special attention to the roots. For longer hair you may need to use slightly more powder, though this mix should still last for more than one dry wash. The Orris root powder will give a subtle scent, whilst the combination of powders will leave your hair feeling grease free and soft to the touch.
If you’re one of the unlucky few that are sensitive to Orris root powder, not to worry, this recipe is easily adaptable. Just substitute the Orris root with a few drops of essential oil to give the dry shampoo a sweeter scent; the arrowroot and cornflour will still leave your hair feeling fab!
