Using powder to "shampoo" your hair is a long standing ritual in the world of beauty. It always amazes me when I hear someone balk at the idea, insisting that a daily wash is better. A daily wash not only strips your hair of it's natural oils, it encourages your hair to break. Hair powder is perfect on the mornings when you skip a wash, ideal for post working out or a quick refresher for your hair and bangs before you go out on the town.

The premise behind hair powder is fairly simple: Your work a small amount of powder through the roots of your hair and the powder will absorb excess oil. Oil that might be matting down your hair or giving you a "stringy" look. If you're trying to prolong a blow-out or simply have fine or limp hair, hair powder is your answer.

This organic recipe is a easy and talc-free. All of the ingredients can be bought at your local food co-op in the bulk bin section located in the bath and body department.

Be sure to take notes along the way—how much essential oil was used, the ratios of ingredients if you've deviated from the recipe—you will be thankful when you're looking to re-create.
