I'm on the train but I HAD TO SHARE!!!! We've all seen the make-your-own dry shampoo pin on Pinterest. I thought, but then you have to glop it all over your hair, probably doesn't work as well, etc. etc. So I clung tightly to my can of Batiste dry shampoo --- a product Tara and I both use A LOT (shhhhh don't tell). She, of course, uses the untinted for her lovely blonde hair and I use the dark tinted for my long brunette hair.
Well, I'm in the process of moving/unpacking and I couldn't find my Batiste ANYWHERE!!! And ladies, I was desperate. So I grabbed some random shower powder (couldn't find cornstarch in the house --- probs 'cause I'm allergic!) and my cocoa powder and put approximately 50/50 of each into a tiny bathroom Dixie cup.
I took the powder brush that I hate using out of my cosmetic bag, swirled them together, and started dabbing at my "roots" (I have natural hair y'all - though Joey is on standby for when those greys show up) and while I ran to find a brush amidst half-unpacked -- really just ravished - boxes it had soaked up all the nasty bedhead oils. It brushed out well with my hair flipped over the sink, nothing on my clothes, and I LOVE the reddish brown highlights it left from the cocoa powder. And ladies! I get a wiff of chocolate every so often --- instant mood lift!
My hair is soft and fluffy again!
So guys for less than a can, you could make a quart of this stuff to have on standby. Or just tuck it away for when you're in a pinch. But I have to say, I liked the direct control of the powder brush application than the random shots from the spray can. I might be converted --- I'll let you know how it holds up through the day! A win! Transferring $8 (cost of a new can) to my rainy day fund to celebrate!!!
UPDATE: I'm on the train home, my makeup and hair are still in full force!!! I think it may be my fave!!!
