Would it be possible to use this as a dry shampoo?

I would not do so. While the powder has cleaning properties to it, I believe it's meant to be mixed with water or infused to get the real benefits of the product. I would think that it's too gritty to just stay in your hair. If you are looking for a "dry" hair shampoo natural alternative to those on the market, try witch hazel and an essential oil like lavender and put it in a spray bottle. There are several recipes on the internet for natural dry shampoo. I've even heard of people using baking soda too. But in that case I guess you could try this powder too. I guess I've never been a fan of powder type of products for dry shampoo. I always used aresol products the few times I have used dry shampoo. If you go to Aveda they have a product that you spray directly on your scalp to get rid of the excess oil that I personally own that does a good job. It's witch hazel based. It's not sold as a "dry shampoo". It's more so targeted to people with scalp problems. I think it might be called scalp remedy or something like that. It's in a small brown bottle. Maybe stop by a store and test it out. It's expensive and I believe you could make your own. Don't remember all the ingredients but you could look it up. Hope this helps!

I have white hair .will this turn my hair dark ?

No, shikakai used by itself does not turn white hair dark. It's only a cleanser. If you want your hair to turn dark, you will need to use amla and henna regularly. The first few applications may turn your white hair a shade of red, but as one keeps using the henna and amla mix, it will eventually turn it dark.Shikakai only cleans and nourishes hair, and doesn't color hair.

Is it applied to wet or dry hair?

It is applied to dry hair. You make it as a DIY hair mask or add a little to your conditioner for “deep treatment”. There are several videos available on YouTube. Just tweak them to make them your own.
