DIY Dry Shampoo

​How to Make Your Own Dry Shampoo

(and how to use it)
Picture
Dry shampoo is making a comeback after being wildly popular in the 1960s-70s. It’s a quick and easy way to get fresher and cleaner-looking hair without going through the hassle of wet washing. It’s an effective way to avoid frequent shampooing, which strips the scalp and hair shafts of its natural oil and can lead to unpleasant overproduction of oil. Just-washed hair is a nightmare to style, so dry shampoo is helpful for getting the cooperativeness of slightly greasy hair without the look.

Dry shampoo works by putting an oil-absorbing substance at the root of the hair, which then gets brushed, combed, or blown through the hair. It disappears, along with the extra oil, and leaves the hair shaft feeling and looking less greasy.

It’s important to note that dry shampoo is not meant to be a substitute for wet washing.

It's easy to make your own Dry Shampoo power at home.   It can be customized for hair color and scented with your favorite essential oils.

Hair Loss Isn’t Just a Guy Thing

Whether it’s short- or long-term, women lose hair the same way men do. It might thin all over, or your center part could get wider and wider. You might even get a bald spot at the crown of your head.

5 Ways to Extend the Life of Your Flat Iron

Picture
It’s a critical styling tool that’s part of any hairdresser’s styling arsenal – the flat iron. You can use it for straightening, creating bouncy curls, setting fingerwaves, etc. However, if you are using your flat iron on a regular basis, you may experience the dreaded “gunk” build-up or “gummy” residue.
 
GOT BUILD UP? Make sure that after every use, you wipe down the plates and barrels with an appliance cleaner to prevent product build-up and ‘burn-in.’ If you do have product build-up, use a scrubbie made for Teflon pans on a warm iron…this helps to remove any buildup,” says Terri Taricco, vice president of marketing for Helen of Troy.
 
TURN IT OFF: Don’t forget to unplug your iron after each use. “Leaving them on for extended periods of time shortens the life span of the appliance and it may cause discoloration of the metallic finish,” adds Tarrico.
 
UPKEEP: Make sure you clean your flat iron with a soft cloth after every use. When using a professional iron cleaner, never spray the iron when hot, as this could potentially damage the plates of your iron.
 
LOOSE HINGES: After many uses, you may experience loose handles. To fix, remove the hinge cover and tighten the nut. If you are afraid of breaking your appliance, stay on the safe side and send it into your manufacturer (many provide warranties upon purchase). As with cleaning, make sure your flat iron is completely turned off before you take it apart.
 
PROPER STORAGE: Make sure to store your flat iron in a safe, secure travel bag. It will protect it from breaking and nicks. Opt for a heatproof bag – it will provide a good protective barrier between any working surface. Also, avoid wrapping the cord around your flat iron. Continuous wrapping will cause stress to the wires (within the cord) and eventually you may find your flat iron not working on you one day. That wouldn’t be good.
