Don’t have dry shampoo? Try baby powder instead. This is a great option if you have darker hair, because the dry shampoo will absorb oil overnight without leaving a powdery residue on your hair. [2] X Expert Source April FerriProfessional Hair Stylist Expert Interview. 8 December 2020.

Use a scrunchie, not a hair tie, to pineapple your hair. Scrunchies are delicate, and they won’t cause friction or breakage. If you have curly hair, cover your hair in a silk scarf or bonnet to make your curls last until the next morning.

If you have curly or wavy hair, consider switching over to a silk pillowcase. These pillowcases create less frizz overnight, because the material won’t catch on your hair and pull it while you sleep.

For instance, if you use a gel and a curl cream, see how your hair does with just a gel. If you use hairspray and a texturizing spray, try to pick one instead of using both.

If you use hair oils, stick to using them on the mid-lengths and ends of your hair. That way, they won’t make your roots greasier.

Everyone’s body is different: some people need to wash as little as once a week, while other people have to wash every day. Do what’s best for your hair and your routine.

If you tend to use a lot of hair products, try using a clarifying shampoo as often as once a week. This will help remove buildup from your hair so it doesn’t look weighed down or greasy.

A great trick for applying conditioner is to grab your hair like you’re putting it in a ponytail. Any hair that would be in the ponytail gets conditioned, and any hair that’s not in the ponytail does not. If your hair is naturally oily, try using a detangling spray out of the shower instead of conditioner in the shower.

Don’t forget to clean your hair brush often! If your hair brush is full of old hair and grease, it could be making your hair look oily. Try to limit how often you touch your hair, too. Our fingers deposit oil and grime, which can contribute to the greasy, weighed-down look.
