You are late for work and suddenly realize that there is no time to wash your hair anymore. You reach for dry shampoo, but realize that you don't have it either. Don't panic — in fact, it can easily be replaced by other, equally effective means. And most likely, you have them at home.
Even a little starch will help to absorb the excess amount of fat from the scalp. In order not to overdo it, 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 starch with cocoa powder in equal proportions so that the funds are not noticeable on the hairstyle.
The powder is designed to absorb excess sebum on the face. According to the same principle, it will work with hair. Sometimes this remedy is even more effective than dry shampoo, which often contains components that irritate the scalp.
It is best to apply powder to the roots with a wide fluffy makeup brush. Then you will only have to comb your hair to remove excess powder, and voila — you have a fresh and beautiful hairstyle again.
This secret was shared with The New York Times by stylist Christophe Robin, who worked with the hair of celebrities such as Catherine Deneuve and Tilda Swinton. When he has no dry shampoo at hand, he mixes 150 ml of water with five drops of apple cider vinegar and pours the resulting mixture into a spray bottle. After spraying, you will not only see, but also feel that the hair has become cleaner.
"Unlike dry shampoo, this mixture does not leave any residue, and vinegar is an excellent tonic for the scalp," says Christophe Robin.
Alcohol, which is contained in antiseptic , can dry the skin of the hands. However, this property is ideal for eliminating greasiness at the roots of the hair. This method should be used very rarely and carefully, and if you have a sensitive scalp, it is better to abandon it altogether.
But if the situation is hopeless, and you have nothing but an antiseptic, you can rub a little bit of the remedy into the roots of your hair to refresh your hairstyle.
