Gluten Free Dry Shampoo

My daughter Keisha was buying expensive dry shampoo and wasn't happy with the results she was getting from the aerosol can, so she did some research on the powdered version. The reviews were good for the powdered versions, but she was unable to find them for sale; therefore, she decided to find a recipe to make it on her own.

She looked at several different recipes on Pinterest and realized that most were just winging it so she decided to wing it herself. For dark hair, she found that the basic recipe consisted of one tablespoon of cocoa, one tablespoon of cornstarch, and one tablespoon of flour.

With that in mind, I suggested making a gluten free dry shampoo since whatever you put on your skin is absorbed into your body. Remember my new phrase from my post, Homemade Deodorant? We aren't totally free of gluten around here, but we make an effort to remove it when and where we can. The less gluten, the better.

This recipe is so easy, Keisha has made it several times. And because the recipe is free of any chemicals, I also began using it on my hair. Along with the wonderful smell of cocoa, I really like the effect on my hair. Simple to make. Simple to use.

Measure out one tablespoon of cocoa in a small bowl.

Measure out one tablespoon of cornstarch and add to cocoa.

Measure out one-half tablespoon of millet and add to cocoa and cornstarch.

Measure out one-half tablespoon of sorghum and add to cocoa, cornstarch and millet.

Thoroughly mix them all together.

Mix until the mixture turns brown. If your hair is dark brown you may want to use a dark chocolate cacao powder.

Pop a lid on the container and it's ready to use.

To use, dab a large makeup brush into the powder and tap the excess off, then apply to underside of hair strands by the roots.
