Using dry shampoo every other day (in comparison to washing hair with liquid shampoo daily), helps keep hair healthy and clean, without stripping away the scalp’s natural oils. Plus, the use of tap water from the shower, which contains many unwanted pollutants such as trace amounts of chlorine and other harmful chemicals, can be abrasive to hair if washed in it daily.

Instead, opt for dry shampoo every second or third day… using liquid shampoo only 2-3 times a week!

In general, creating an all-natural DIY shampoo for those seeking a home-made organic option has many benefits and perks, in comparison to store-bought shampoo.

In particular, try this natural lemon dry shampoo with cornmeal recipe for a simple, healthy alternative.

Ingredients needed for lemon dry shampoo with cornmeal…

♦ ½ cup of cornmeal

♦ ½ cup of baking soda

♦ Pinch of lemon zest

♦ Vanilla bean (optional)

How to create lemon dry shampoo with cornmeal…

1. Mix all the above ingredients together and store them in a small jar or bottle.

2. Shake the mixture directly from the jar or bottle, or use a small makeup brush to help distribute evenly throughout scalp and hair strands.

3. Brush the mixture directly into roots before combing hair out thoroughly.

Simple, strong, clean, healthy hair doesn’t get any easier than this!

NOTE: Add a few dried, crushed flower petals for a pleasing aroma, such as rose petals or lavender. Also, store your dried shampoo in a glass jar with an airtight lid in a cool, dark, dry place. The active ingredients in the recipe usually remain potent anywhere from 3 to 4 weeks.
