Cornstarch as Dry Shampoo

Worked as a dry shampoo but broke me out along my hairline. Gonna try arrowroot next and hopefully I'll have better results.

To avoid powdery, matte look on scalp, brus this on roots at bedtime. You hair will absorb the cornstarch and you will wake up with fresh hair!!!

Oh boy! My hair is not that greasy but college is really keeping me busy, I just don't have time for doing anything to my hair so I decided I would try this DIY.
Well, my skin is acne prone (mild) and this DIY started giving me cysts around my hairline after a day of using it so I discontinued it and everything came back to normal. So in my experience, it does not work for acne prone …Read more

No chemicals! I did what one other reviewer suggested and made up a small pot of 1 part baking soda to 4 parts cornstarch. I used a blush brush to brush onto my hair. Worked a treat! This will be my go-to moving forward. No more nasty chemicals in the air or allergies from commercial dry shampoo!

Occasionally, I'll be super stressed out or my hormones will go wonky, and I'll get the dreaded Smelly Scalp Syndrome. The slightest bit of oil build up on the scalp and the whole head gets this sour, cheesy, pillowhead smell. And I can't even shampoo every day due to my hair type. Yuck.

i have applied before using a powder brush and at the moment im just using a salt shaker to shake it out into my hand and apply directly to my …Read more

I LOVE this stuff!!! It removes the oil and gives my hair bounce and volume it doesn’t weigh it down or give me that sticky residue as with regular aerosol spray dry shampoo.

I have dark hair but I have no problem with it being very …Read more

I have a short, A-line bob that requires a lot of flat ironing to look decent. I use this at night after a wash, and I wake up with fresh, not greasy hair. I'm trying to go longer without shampooing my hair, and cornstarch is my bestfriend!

I have not tried this as a setting powder but as a dry shampoo it's awesome! I just bleached my hair and trying to go long in-between washes to keep it healthy. Someone commented on my hair today saying I have thick hair, but really it's thin! Didn't know it was even good for volume
