The other day I didnt have time to wash my hair and I remembered I had a tub of diatomaceous earth under my sink.
Um – it was the best dry shampoo I have ever used.Is there any reason why I shouldnt use this instead of conventional dry shampoo?Thanks!November 27, 2016 at 12:46 am #96693preciousiaMemberwow seriously? i have diatomasceous earth.. which i consumer… never tried it for hair tho.. tho i am not about to begin.i think one of the reasons could be costs? can you share how you put DE on your hair without causing a mess?Batiste gives me dandruff i think.November 27, 2016 at 3:05 pm #96705RandySMemberHmmm, never thought of that. As long as it’s a purified grade that acceptable for contact with the skin I suppose it could be fine. I’m not sure if there are any hazards associated with DE on skin on getting it in your eyes.

I just scooped some out with my fingers and sprinkled it into my part/my roots.it’s a bit drying but the hold and volume are worth it (and it obviously washes out)My concern was that I read recently that using dry shampoo is bad for your hair – so I wondered if that extended to something like DE, which doesnt have the conventional dry shampoo ingredients.November 28, 2016 at 2:27 am #96716preciousiaMemberDecember 9, 2016 at 10:21 pm #96803FrenchBeautistaMember@Boom1
Isn’t it too abrasive?
I remember it’s used in toothpaste and to make copper shinnier.December 17, 2016 at 1:35 pm #96817Boom1Member@FrenchBeautista, it’s not abrasive at all (use only food grade).
P.s. I have continued to use it as dry shampoo and still really like it.December 18, 2016 at 2:01 pm #96835preciousiaMemberwhat colour is your DE? The DE i buy here in Australia is light brown noticed they are white in USA…. also the DE i use are sourced locally…. where is yours sourced? -
