These products effectively absorb oil and leave hair looking fresher.
You are late for work and suddenly realize that there is no time to wash your hair. You reach for dry shampoo, but you realize that you don't have it either. Do not panic - in fact, it can be easily replaced with other, no less effective means. And most likely, you have them at home.
1. Corn starch
Even very little starch will help absorb excess oil from the scalp. In order not to overdo it for sure, pour it into a salt shaker - this way it will be much more convenient for you to use it.
If you have dark hair, mix the starch and cocoa powder in equal proportions so that the product is not visible on your hair.
2. Fixing face powder
The powder is designed to absorb excess sebum on the face. It works the same way with hair. Sometimes this remedy is even more effective than dry shampoo, which often contains ingredients that irritate the scalp.
It is best to apply the powder to the roots with a wide, fluffy makeup brush. Then all that remains is to comb your hair to remove excess powder, and voila - you have a fresh and beautiful hairstyle again.
3. Apple cider vinegar
This secret was shared with The New York Times by stylist Christophe Robin, who has worked with the hair of such celebrities as Catherine Deneuve and Tilda Swinton. When he doesn't have dry shampoo on hand, he mixes 150 ml of water with five drops of apple cider vinegar and pours the mixture into a spray bottle. After spraying, you will not only see, but also feel that your hair is cleaner.
“Unlike dry shampoo, this mixture leaves no residue, and vinegar is an excellent scalp toner,” notes Christophe Robin.
4. Antiseptic for hands
The alcohol in the antiseptic can dry out your hands. However, this property is ideal for eliminating oiliness at the hair roots. This method should be used very rarely and carefully, and if you have a sensitive scalp, then it is better to refuse it altogether.
But if the situation is hopeless, and you have nothing besides an antiseptic, you can rub a little product into the roots of your hair to freshen up your hairstyle.
