When everyone says "why don't you just go wash your hair?" Lol washing your hair alot can cause your hair to get greasy
I can wash happily two days a week?? But my hair becomes drenched with sweat if I jog 5kms a day... Washing my long hair daily is hectic
Veda happy what a mood
I wash my hair everyday and it’s still greasy 😢
Now I’m trying to wash it every other day, I’m looking for something to control the grease.
Those of you saying "you could just wash your hair" that's the point of the video, she's making a dry shampoo to clean up her hair and remove some of the oil in between washes. Also not everyone can wash their hair on a daily basis(African Americans)
Exactly, if I washed my hair everyday it would break off because it gets so dry and puffy.

just use organic products and cut your tips every 3 months.... no more silicones, no more bad chemicals.. u will no have this problem anymore and u can wash your hair like 1 or 2 times a week only
Audrey M I do wash it 1or 2 times a week and use organic products and trim it. I didn't know silicone was bad for my hair? Eek I've been using it a lot
u so wrong on that comment don't be jealous we have finer hair and are smarter bitch
alexis alexander What are you saying?
I've been using this mixture for almost three years now, (on days 3-5) and I find that it works best if you put it on the night before. It has time to soak up some of the oil then. :)
(As a disclaimer - my hair is extremely fine and thin, and washing my hair too often dries it out and makes it fall out like crazy. I shower often, but only wash my hair every 3-5 days.)
It worked a lot better on me! + extra volume! i have dark hair but i use cornstach alone... i let it sit 10 minutes before i brush my hair. your cornstarch did not have time to absorb anything!
True
Thank you for tip!💓 So u would say cornstarch over arrowroot?
Have you tried activated charcoal or cinnamon?
gonna try this out tomorrow ❤
Yes! I'd much rather just use cornstarch by itself and do it overnight and brush if out
I always just use baby powder because I have platinum blonde hair anyways and it matches but it works the best for me! Also, I read that the way to use this is to put A LOT on your hair and let it absorb while you do your makeup and stuff and then comb it out or use a towel and that works the best for me, it feels like i just washed my hair which is great because i can't wash my hair much now since it's dead lol. ALSO YOUR HAIR LOOKS SO GOOD IT'S ALL SHINY, STRONG AND LONG
Same like exactly
***** I use it and I have brown hair but it doesn't make my hair too white at all
I have Brown hair and use baby powder and it still works, its really not noticeable even though it isn't my hair color.
I've heard another thing you can use is translucent powder or just regular powder I tried it before it works
Aren't there a lot of chemicals in baby powder? Have u tried potato flour?
The more that you comb your hair, the more greasy your hair will appear. Instead of brushing it out after the dry shampoo is applied, I would just run your fingers through it. :) hope this helps anyone who wants to try this!
well i heard some people saying brushing ur hair is actually good, it make ur hair oil distribute evenly so it doesnt build up and looking greasier ,it kinda make sense so 🤷♀️🤷♀️
vitamin j that’s for brushes that have natural bristles because standard detangler brushes are hard plastic that doesn’t absorb or distribute. Hope this helps :)
1:22 was oddly satisfying lol
If you meant the tapping, you might want to check out ASMR :)
People clearly don't understand it's better to not wash your hair everyday
Michaela Lenae I have to everyday, do you not realize hair isn’t all the same?
Ivybirb :3 michaela said what she did because there are other people saying “why don’t you just wash your hair instead of using dry shampoo”. You need to train your hair & do something different. I use to have to wash my hair every single day as well, it use to be greasy & I would get dandruff like crazy at the same time. Don’t touch your hair, oils & dirt from your hands is part of the problem. Make sure you’re rinsing your hair well enough & with LUKEWARM WATER not hot. & rinse it with ACV (you can rinse that out too after but you don’t have too) I like using doves dandruff shampoo, but rn I’m just using garnier whole blends honey shampoo with no problems because I’ve been working so hard on fixing my hair. I like putting a diy hair mask on once a week, 1 egg, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, & 1 tablespoon of mayo is the basic. Leave it for at least 30 minutes, wash your hair like normal. You can adjust it to however you’d like, do some research to see what else you can add to your masks (oats, yogurt, avocado, etc.) I use artnaturals argan leave in conditioner, 1-2 pumps depending on your hair length is enough, use it after each wash it makes your hair so soft, shiny, & it smells amazing my bf compliments me every single time I put it on lol. I only have to wash my hair 2-3 times a week now, I aim for 2 but sometimes if I want to look extra nice I will make sure my hair is freshly washed. I rinse my hair with just water sometimes too now which helps a lottt, still rinse it well then add the leave in conditioner after. I really hope this helps you, or anyone else who might need it. ✨ edit: if anyone has questions I’m happy to answer them. x
Ivybirb :3 the more you wash your hair the faster your scalp is going to produce oil bc you’re stripping it away with shampoo all the time. It’s a cycle lol so washing it so often is the main cause of the oil production being so high. Washing your hair less gradually will train your scalp to stop producing oils so fast
Ivy_ Bird if it’s because of a grease problem, it’s because your washing your hair everyday. Your stripping your hair everyday so your scalp is like well we don’t wanna die so it produces more and more oil to protect the hair. Start washing it every 2 days to slowly condition your scalp to calm down. Your hair will be healthier and softer. I generally wash my hair every 4-5 days. That’s also cause I have a shit ton and it takes forever to wash and dry lol
@@ivy_bird7256 you dont have to wash your hair every day no matter what your hair is like, washing more often gets rid of your hairs natural oil so it produces more oil since its so dry, you need to wash every other day then eventually wash every 3 or 4 days and your hair will thank you
Oh, I want to try this, partially so I can smell like a lovely cup of cocoa lol.
I always get so excited when I see you upload, I LOVE these videos!
I just used this & your hair curling video with your hair in a ponytail. Oh my goodness, my hair looks so good. Thank you for sharing! ♡
So glad you are bringing this back. Great video !
I love your Fail or Holy Grail videos! I definitely want to see more of them!
My hair gets oily the day after I shower, so I use the cocoa powder + corn starch. I also mix some baking soda in. I put it in a travel baby powder container and keep it in my purse. Put a decent amount on my greasy bangs and top of hair, then brush it out. Works perfect every time!
I got so excited when I saw this in my subscription box! I think it's a cool idea and it definitely seemed to work!
baby powder works the best I use it all the time
Corn starch is usually what baby powder Is or is the main ingredient
I use baby powder too if i run out! And i have black hair
Bella George actually baby powder main ingredient is talc powder.
But why don't you just take a shower. If you don't want to wash your hair co wash it with conditioner.
.
I AM OBSESSED WITH THIS SERIES!!!!!!
I use baby powder. Even though you smell the baby powder it definitely degreases.
This is such a cool idea! I just tried this and my hair looks so amazing now. Thank you so much❤️
These seemed to work well! I personally love Bumble and Bumble pret-a-powder. I think the benefit to powders is that they really soak up the oils, while some sprays just seem to add product and weigh the hair down more. I need to try Batiste again :)
such a cool idea! i am forever always running out of dry shampoo before i realise its even half empty and get stuck with greasy hair, defiantly will try this out sometime! adore your videos x
I missed you home girl! Thank all the magical powers at be that this is back!!!!
I just did this recently, too and I really like it. It's so much cheaper than store bought products (even taking into account that you have to use quite a bit) and I love that I'll randomly get whiffs of Chocolate throughout my day. It does make me hungry, though.....
Yay!! Welcome back!! I missed you!
Not sure I'd use that over my store night either, but it's good to know!! Lol
I've never been this early on a video before, but i loved this one☺👍 this is like my favorite series AND I LOVE YOUR HAIR.
Ellko was my teenhood!
ive been watching her vids since i was 16, im now 22!
i miss the fail or holy grail vids, i wish she would come back to youtube
Yes! They are back
I've been using this formula as a touch up if my hair is up in a bun for a few months! I love the smell! You can also add some essential oils for extra smell goodness!
I'm a brunette and I have tried only using cornstarch and it worked pretty well!
Great to see a new Fail or Holy Grail video. All your videos are amazing.
Never tried corn starch, but I'm blonde and use baby powder all the time and never buy dry shampoo ever. I mix it with a mineral golden eyeshadow too put some shimmer in it so it's not so dusty looking, then I ever so lightly spray a sheen spray.works great
YAAAAAS!! I LOVE IT WHEN NEW VIDEOS ARE POSTED
I made this a while ago and I LOVE it!!! I also love how my bathroom smells when I shower after using it!
Cornstarch with a bit of baking soda does an amazing job in my hair!! I'm sure you could add some cocoa powder to make it less noticeable on dark hair. Also I use my fingers to get it to my roots and I find it works better than a powder brush
I love using dry shampoo! It would be great to be able to make my own. Thanks for trying this one!!
I love your channel so muchhhh☺️💕
i absolutly love fail or holy grail!!! please do more i live for these
A translucent powder works amazingly!!! Definitely try it👌
Love your videos Ellie!
This was one of my fav's videos that you have done. i have missed your post lol but nice job.
Obsessed with this video series
Love this series 💗
Wow never been so early on a video! Love your channel, you're hilarious!!!
Yess been waiting ages for a new episode 😁
I've used baby powder for years. I sprinkle a little in my powder brush and brush it through. Works amazingly!
I love the way all of your videos are simple and all have the same "theme" and music keep it up!!! +ellko
gross i cant stand the idea to put cocoa powder on my hair just go and wash it
lol, I was thinking the same. Isn't dry shampoo something you use in a pinch. Maybe you don't have time to wash your hair in the morning or you woke up late. So why would you spend the time to make an odd mixture to put on your hair...ehhh. Interesting experiment though. :)
Stephanie R because shampoo is so bad for you, done people choose to stretch washes as far as possible
Sugar Bum Bum She has beautiful, healthy hair because she doesn't dry it out with shampoo every day. I let mine go as long as I can and over time your hair will not put out as much oil to combat the drying shampoos.
Not all shampoos are drying lol
bulldogmak3 they are if they contain basically anything like SLS or parabens and even then they still have cleansers in.... which remove grease from your hair... thus drying it out.
i always love your frigging eyebrows!!! :D
This is what I've used for about the last year (I use a powder brush too). I did about 2T. of each too and I still have a lot left. I use my fingers and palms to distribute it. Not as terrific as traditional sprays, but it works for me. 😀
I'm definitely going to try this thanks for another great video
I MISS these soo much x
FINALLY I LOVE YOUUU
Your back yay!!!!
You're probably my favorite CZcamsr 😊❤️
I just love all ur videos!
I have just fell into a tube of your videos. It's addicting. 😂
I use the corn starch and cocoa powder. I dust it on and let it set for a few minutes before I comb it through. I think letting it set really makes a difference. Gives the powder a chance to absorb.
I have curly hair so I've been doing the "no-poo" challenge. I haven't used shampoo for 4 years. I use condoned everyday, and roughly rinse it out (leaving some in) and my curls look so good :D just thought I may help another curly girl out ;) a good website that help too is called naturally curly.
Nice but I don't think you should be doing it that way. The rinse off conditioners need to be fully rinsed off. You can get a leave in conditioner to leave it on.
I think I'll be trying this !! Haha 💞 Love you Ellie !!
Ur makeup is really pretty!
I love your videos so much!!!
I was in the hospital for a week and was physically unable to shower. my nurse showed me that if I put baby powder in my hair, it will work as a dry shampoo! she helped me try it and it worked! I have brunette hair as well so trust me when I say, Baby powder works! it didn't leave any white residue behind and it was just a fantastic hack! totally recommend trying regular baby powder
Yay! Love your videos ♡♡♡
This series is genius and oh so entertaining!
I have dark brown hair and also recently dyed it dark red (which is why i had to start up with this even more now cause i want the color to stay a long time) and i just use baby powder. I put a little in both hands and rub it thoroughly in my hair all over my head i just using leave out most of the length of my hair and keep to the roots and a couple inches from the scalp at most and it blends in fine and is grease free for another day.
Omg I love your makeup 😍
So glad your back I have blonde hair and I did it it was a miracle ilysm 😍😘😝
I do this all the time and it works perfectly for me. A lot cheaper than buying the spray ones and lasts forever
I saw ur videos & now I am in love 😍😍
Beauty Hacks: Fail or Holy Grail are my favourite videos of yours to watch! They're are so great! (:
lavender scented baby powder is the best! smells good and absorbs the oil really well
I have PCOS and it makes my hair greasy really fast. I can shower at 7 am and my hair is greasy by 3 pm. I have to wash it either every day or every other day. I will usually do it every other day just to save water and not damage my hair. Anyway, when I need something done before I wash it then I just use baby powder. I have used dove and it's okay. Makes for a great messy bun or pony tail with the DOVE. But baby powder is cheap and when you do it right it really helps and doesn't leave a white layer on your hair.
YAYYYY I MISSED THIS!!
Your eyebrows look so good!!!
I use this all the time, it works really well for me
I use talcum powder! It's like $2 from a supermarket and it's used to absorb moisture, so it works like a charm. Better than store bought imo
I'm a brunette but I still use baby powder. But after I use it and brush it I spray it with a little water to tone down the color, it works great.
GIRRRLLL YOUR EYEBROWS ARE ON FLEEEEK. THEY LOOK GOOOD.
I LOVE UR VIDEOS SO MUCH I CANT EVEN
I love your videos so much❤️❤️
I ran out of dry shampoo so I tried this. I agree. I love it.
I love these videos 😍
loved this video!
Right now I have Batiste Tropical dry shampoo, I prever the cherry/blush version though :) The tropical smells too coconutty for my taste.
I mainly picked it because its vegan, but I fell in love with its "power"
Eyebrows goals 😍
My best friend recommended this to me and I was iffy about it, but I'm glad to see that it works!
Love love love your videos! 🖖🏻
Idk if anyone's said this, but maybe try mixing cornstarch with activated charcoal since your hair is so dark. I usually use straight AC, but it may not be as coat efficient as store bought shampoo, so mixing it may make it go a much longer way. Activated charcoal is SUPER absorbent too!
Love how she posts vids late at night
Your eyebrows are so prettyyy
What I love about dry shampoo like Batiste is the volume and movement it adds to my hair. I feel like this technique didn't add any and I also feel like I can kinda see the powder in the hair. I have heard about arrow root powder to use as dry shampoo. Maybe try that next? ❤❤
Yay finally!!
I use Gold Bond body powder. It makes your scalp feel minty fresh and soothes itchies if you have a dry scalp. Because I get oily hair but dry scalp.
You look so pretty!!!
I use baby power, but I also put a few drops of essential oils to make it smell good. I put it in a parmesan shaker and use it that way, with the shaker you get more in your entire hair faster then if you use a brush. Trick is to EVENLY use the product as possible on roots and first couple inch of gray hair then run fingers threw do the rest of your stuff to get ready for the day while it sits there and when your ready to finish your hair the powder should have soaked up mist the oil in hair and gives your hair body and shine again
you are so pretty!
Yeyyy FOHG is back :) with a vengence :D :D :D
If you mix corn starch+baking soda+ coco powder= dry shampoo I love this mix works like a charm
I don't know why it was so satisfying to watch her mix the cocoa powder and cornstarch together...
I love this video 💙
