Dry Shampoo

About This Recipe:

This dry shampoo is a must-have around the house. It absorbs oil without drying out scalp or hair.  Arrowroot powder gently absorbs oil while the baking soda helps to absorb odor. The scent of Lemongrass Verbena will leave hair with a fresh scent all day. This has been designed for use on dark hair. For lighter brown hair, substitute Rhassoul Clay for the kaolin.

4. Label product accordingly.
