There are a number of boutiques that sell natural beauty ingredients allowing you to fabricate your own cosmetic products. This is obviously the best way to keep tabs on what goes into them and what goes onto your body.
Before applying your home-made cosmetics, it’s important to test them 24hours before general use; we suggest putting a small sample behind the ear to ensure you won’t suffer from any allergies or burning elsewhere.
Dry Shampoing:

In your bowl, mix together equal measures of white clay and starch. Once evenly mixed, sprinkle it delicately over the roots of your hair.
Wait 3 minutes and then massage your scalp with the tips of your fingers. Then brush your hair meticulously to get rid of any residue.
