my hair only gets oily near my scalp and about a 1/2 inch down, but the rest of my hair is either normal or dry. i don't want to wash my hair because i know its not good to do it too often, so i wash it every other day. but the day after i wash my hair my roots are really oily and i get tempted to just wash that area. how can i stop it from being so oily in that one area?

Many people have this problem, as your roots are closest to your oil glands. The best way to treat hair that is normal up top and dry on the bottom is to shampoo only every other day - and apply conditioner only to your ends. On the "off" day, when you're not shampooing, simply rinse your hair with water and, again, apply conditioner only to ends. Other remedies for dry ends? Get a tiny trim (ask your stylist to "dust" the ends) every six to eight weeks. Make sure he/she keeps the cut under half an inch, so that growth will be apparent. Also, towel dry your hair gently (roughing it up causes ends to fray) and use your hairdryer no more than two times a week - aiming airflow down the hair shaft but never directly on ends. A deep conditioner applied (just to ends) overnight can also improve the look of the bottom of your hair. Try: Garnier Fructis Deep Fortifying Conditioner.
Good luck!!

Emulsify a nickel sized drop of shampoo in your wet hands & concentrate on the scalp when you wash your hair. Run the lather through the rest of your hair as your rinse off the shampoo.
You can apply witch hazel to your scalp after you shampoo or after you blow dry your hair.
Wash your brush & combs at least once a week.

Try getting a dry shampoo or lightly sprinkling baby powder on your roots.This will soak up the oil and help give it more volume.

if you just want a short term solution, try putting a bit of talcum powder on your scalp so it would absorb the oil as well as making your hair smells better.
