Is there a reason you don’t use Rosemary in the dark hair recipe? I have thinning hair and if the Rosemary helps stimulate hair growth, does the Cocoa powder have issues with the rosemary?
Hi LaFonda ~ rather than using Rosemary in this dry shampoo, I prefer to add a few drops of Rosemary oil to my regular shampoo before washing my hair.
