My hair was naturally stick-straight until I had a baby, and now I have some texture -- mainly in the back, which is kind of weird, but whatever -- and I love it. Once I get my wavy hair to look cute instead of wonky, I want the waves to last as long as possible. That's where dry shampoo comes in.

Why would you wash your hair every day if you didn't have to? And let's not forget about volume! And when you don't wash your hair, you can take a quicker shower -- and save water. Dry shampoo is my jam. Sadly, it's not easy to find a natural dry shampoo.

The good news is that you can use organic cornstarch -- the kind you have in your pantry -- in your hair. And if you're brunette, use half cornstarch and half cocoa powder. It smells like heaven, and it works just as well as the fancy dry shampoos I've tried. The only downside is convenience -- you have to apply it with a makeup brush -- but that seems like a fair trade-off. Especially if you consider the time saved in the shower.
