To prepare the dry shampoo, you need to first arrange a cup of ground oats and baking soda each and then mix the two. After then you can put the mixture into a container preferably with holes. With the help of the baking soda, you can remove the excess oil in your hair and rid your hair of the bad odour. While baking soda may be a strong component, oatmeal lightens the effect with its antioxidant properties, which takes care of your scalp.

After arranging two tablespoon of cornstarch and rice flour each, you need to mix the two well in order to get a fine powder. After that you put the mixture into a container and use a small brush to apply the powder on you scalp. While the corn starch assures a non-sticky scalp, rice flour protects your hair from harmly UV rays and strengthens you hair strands.
