DIY DRY SHAMPOO:
Mix equal parts baking soda and either arrowroot powder or cornstarch (about a heaping tablespoon each) in a small bowl until the clumps are broken down. (For light hair, you're finished!)
For dark hair, mix in cocoa powder until you've reached a shade that matches closely to your hair root color.
