Have you ever woken up in the morning and realized that your To Do list looks like an end of the month grocery receipt?

It’s long. Too long.

So, you consider showering but is there time? Yes, you can shower but can’t wash your hair. That will have to wait for the evening shower.

I can’t hide under a baseball cap because I have a round face. If I wear a hat, all you see is cheeks. I look like a puffer fish.

On mornings like this I often used dry shampoo to get me through the day, but the stuff in a spray can is sticky. Maybe it’s just me, but it makes my hair look oily by the end of the day. It’s weird. So, I switched to baby or arrowroot powder, but it makes my hair look dull.

This is when I had an idea. What if I colored the powder? I prefer arrowroot powder because it’s more natural.

You Will Need:

· 2 tbsp arrowroot powder

· Arrowroot powder is the base of all dry shampoos regardless of your hair color.

· 2 tbsp color powder.
