Make Your Own Dry Shampoo?

A fellow green blogger recently wrote a post about creating your own dry shampoo that I just have to share. For those who have no idea what I'm talking about, if you have greasy hair but no time to wash it, there are now products out there that you can spritz/spray/squirt on your hair that fight the greasiness without water. Bumble and Bumble has an great but pricey ($35) option, and while B&B doesn't test on animals and they use some natural ingredients, they aren't 100% eco-friendly (yes, those mystery ingredients). Another option is the Fekkai Au Natural Dry Shampoo, which IS all natural but is also pricey ($23). Therefore, Becky at Green Updater wrote a great post about making your own dry shampoo.

Basically, all you need is a little cornmeal or cornstarch and you're good to go. Sprinkle the corn product in your hair, massage it in a bit, brush it out (thoroughly!), and off you go. Sounds crazy, right? But apparently it works. I'll give it a try sometime soon and update this post with how the experiment worked out.
