REVIEW :
Well I tried out the baby powder/ baking soda shampoo. While it worked it getting a bit of freshness back into my hair , it didn't work extremely well. The mixture gets everywhere and even after you comb it out as instructed there is still a lot left in your hair. I'd wash my hair in a day after doing this...

How is a dry shampoo dry if you use wet ingredients and rinse it out? Lame

I tried the cornstarch and it doesn't work well for dark hair! I'm going to have to wash my hair because it's made it all white.
