Dry shampoo

Looking for suggestions for the best dry shampoo for super oily hair. Must be sulfate free.

Hi,

This isn't a brand of shampoo sold at Sephora, but what I do is just use Arrowroot powder. It's sold at supermarkets and on Amazon, and is powdery and white. It is almost like cornstarch but lighter. I dab it on with an old makeup brush at night, run my fingers over my scalp to distribute it, and go to bed. The white tint is gone by the morning and all oil is absorbed. This has allowed me to wash my hair every other day instead of every day. I've even gone so far as applied this "dry shampoo" to go 4 days without washing my hair (and without it looking greasy at all). I find that this gives me volume too, and I started using this DIY method after I saw how many chemicals were in aerosol-based dry shampoos. I didn't want those chemicals sitting on my scalp for days. 

Some bloggers suggest adding cocoa powder if you have dark hair to decrease the white tint. I don't do this and my hair is almost black. I find that putting it on at night is sufficient for everything to fade by the morning. Hope this helps!
