Answer 1

I heard that if you sprinkle talcum powder on your oily hair scalp, and blow dry it , it will be alot less oily, try it :]

Answer 2

Well.. my hair kinda gets greasy fast but seems that you hav a PROBLEM!! well... try just conditioning the roots instead of the ends if youre in a hurry out and your hair smells bad then just get some conditioner and rub it in your hands and kinda mess with your hair a little dont use to much though! and to keep it less greasy just spray in some water and mess with it.. hope it helps!

Answer 3

If you do any physical activity that works up a sweat then your not going to avoid having greasy hair that week. Try to use no hair products like spray or gel.

Answer 4

The best way I can think of is to wear tight French-style braids or plaits. That way, if oil does become a problem, you can turn that problem into a solution! The oilier your hair, the better your braids will stay in! Good luck and have fun!

Answer 5

On the third day, Sprinkle baby powder onto your ENDS brush right through. (Greasy is also shiny)


OR


Get tight braids, and it won't matter that its greasy cause it isn't in your face, and it'll just be really shiny

Answer 6

keep your hair in pony tail mostly, touch it only when you have to, don't play with them, try not to get sweaty, use hairspray or mousse when they actually will be getting greasy, you'll create a wet look and nobody will see greasy hair:)

Answer 7

i heard if u just condition the mid length and tips of ur hair it will prevent your roots and scalp from greasiness

Answer 8

i don't like using powders because i have dark hair. it makes your hair look gray at the roots, and talcum powder can only work for so long. i reccommend using dry shampoos. there's one in a spray form and i've seen it at beauty supply stores for like.. $10

this is the brand i have:

Answer 9

for 5 whole days, thats like nearly impossible. cause when you sweat, your hair gets greasy.. my best guess is wash it with soap

Answer 10

Youre going to go camping and not bathe for a week? Why dont you just take a shower?

Answer 11

the brand "bed head" has all kinds of products to absorb oil. google the brand name and see which product best suits your needs and call your local hair supply store like sally's beauty supply and see if they carry it. Stores like walmart, target and bloom grocery store (also publix) carries this brand in the store.
