The beauty of dry shampoos is that they’re inexpensive and can be carried around in your bag anytime, anywhere.

A great dry shampoo will sap up all the greasiness and leave your locks looking fresher, bouncier and smelling so much cleaner.

Befriend The Blow Dryer
Flip your hair over and blow dry your hair. The heat will soak up the sweat and add volume to your hair, despite you not washing your hair. The next time you walk out of the gym or take a walk under the sun, you must know that your trusty blow dryer will take care of your hair.
Opt For A Deep Side Parting
Ladies, we want you to know that by simply styling your hair in a particular fashion can make a big difference. If you want to hide those oily roots, a deep side parting is a safe choice. Unlike washed, clean hair, dirty hair is heavier – this helps hold the style better. You can also mask the grease by braiding your hair and using a bit of hairspray to keep the flyaways in place.
When Life Gives You Lemons
If you haven’t rinsed your hair with lemon juice, now is a good time to give it a shot! These yellow babies can absorb excess oil, and due to the alpha hydroxyl acids present in them, they also help wipe out dandruff. We bet your hair is going to look clean and feel fresh in no time!
Tease Those Oily Roots
The worst thing about skipping a hair wash or two is flat, greasy roots. The quickest way to create a bit of bounce and volume at your roots is to pick up small sections, spritz them with hairspray and tease with a comb – basically, hold the section straight up and comb in a downwards motion. Don’t worry if you notice a it of frizz, it’ll settle and you’ll be left with fresher looking roots.
Accessorize Like A Pro
One sneaky way to hide oily roots is to accessorize your hair! You can either use a headscarf, turban or stick to a cute hair band. That way, the attention from your unwashed hair gets shifted to the pretty hair accessory. Pretty neat trick, eh?
