Is this a joke? Unless you have white hair - baby powder is going to make your hair white. No scratch that - it's going to make it look like it's got baby powder in it.

If you over wash your hair you are stimulating the sebacious glands in the scalp to produce more oil. Try washing it every other day or 3 times a week if you can bear it - it will soon improve. To help cut the grease, use a shampoo for greasy hair and don't use conditioner. You can use lemon in your shampoo as lemon is very good at combating grease (just think of washing up liquid).

Hi yes baby power is good for greasy hair however i have tried it and it turned my hair grey! I then spent ages trying to brush it out and my hair was greasy again. If you dont have time to wash it there is a dry shampoo product but have yet to try it out! Hope this helps.

Baby powder especially that with cornstarch, which will absorb the oil, used SPARINGLY on the oily spots in between shampoos will help. Just dust lightly and brush out always try and use a true boar bristle brush they are less harsh on your hair. Also use a good oil control shampoo even if it costs a little more the cost is worth it.

i have greasy hair, and i wash every other day, use a dry shampoo or a bit of talcum podwer in between , but also get a good clarifying shampoo and only put condtioner on ends, keep water warm , not hot. change pillow cases reg, and if you have straight hair, the grease travels down quicker, try putting a few curls in, the oil cant get down as quick

Answer 6

absolutely ... but only use a little bit or it will clump up. on days when i'm rushing out the door i rub a little powder into my roots and comb it through with my fingers until it's blended. usually have to put my hair up when i do this. also if you have hair that gets really staticy a fabric softener will work wonders. you rub your hair with it and blow dry for an extra few minutes.

Answer 7

Yes it works but it makes your hair look green/grey if you use to much of it (i wouldnt recommend it if your hair is a dark colour!).. It could be that your washing your hair everyday,, it causes it to become greasy quickly,, changing your pillowcase to a silk one is meant to help stop night sweating and make your hair smooth!!

Hope this helps in some way!!

Answer 8

if you wash your hair everyday there is a problem, you are using the wrong shampoo for a start. Use Greasy hair shampoo and it should make it more manageable, don't use conditioner, it will make it worse, and don't use talc, it will look dirtier still. I used talc in between washes it looks awful and people can tell.

Answer 9

Baby Powder works like a charm. Just don't use too much!

Answer 10

It does work but depends on your hair colour as to how successful it would be. Try dry shampoo - it's far more effective.

Answer 11

I have heard quite a few times that it works, but I've been too scared to try it. i think it's ok if you've got light coloured hair and aren't wearing dark coloured clothes.
