Battle Green’s Dry Shampoos (in paper packs)

Battle Green’s organic dry shampoos are for injury, carers or people with fine hair, to give volume without having to wash hair daily. Sold in paper bags, just sprinkle into hair, leave for a few minutes, then brush out (use a towel on your shoulders, to avoid powder on clothes).

Avoid essential oils for pregnancy/nursing (avoid shea butter for latex allergies). Don’t use human shampoos/soaps on pets (the PH is different and some contain toxic macadamia oil) – read more on giving dogs baths with lukewarm water).

Also in orange & neroli, these are sold with a cardboard shaker pot with refill sachets (keep in a dry place away from sunlight).

Made with cornstarch, arrowroot powder and kaolin clay (all absorb oil) with aloe vera & amla fruit powder to soothe the scalp.

Most dry shampoos are made with volatile organic compounds that cause irritation and possible nerve damage and talc (a mined substance with concerns over ovarian cancer).  Some contain butane flammable gas (bin empty cans or take half-full ones to toxic waste).

Poo-Poo to No-Poo!

Dry shampoos are good for when you’re caught short, but the ‘no-poo’ method (not washing hair) is not advised by trichologists who say that ‘hair doesn’t clean itself’. You could end up with scalp infections. They say ‘pooh-pooh’ to ‘no-poo!’
