Some days, washing your hair feels like a luxury you just can’t manage. But oily hair can look limp and greasy. Thankfully, there are simple hacks to refresh your scalp and hair without a full wash.
1. Dry Shampoo – Your Instant Savior
Dry shampoo is a lifesaver for oily hair. Spray or sprinkle it onto your roots, wait a few minutes, then brush through. It absorbs excess oil and adds volume, making your hair look clean and fresh in minutes.
2. Baby Powder or Cornstarch Trick
If you don’t have dry shampoo, baby powder or cornstarch works just as well. Apply a small amount to your roots, let it sit for a minute, then gently brush it out. It soaks up oil and gives your hair a matte, refreshed finish.
3. Blot With Tissue or Paper Towels
For a super quick fix, take a tissue or paper towel and gently press it against oily roots. This can absorb surface oil instantly. It’s not perfect for long hair days, but it works in a pinch for short touch-ups.
4. Rubbing Alcohol or Witch Hazel
Mix a small amount of rubbing alcohol or witch hazel with water in a spray bottle. Spritz lightly onto your roots and massage in. It removes excess oil and refreshes your scalp. Just avoid overdoing it, as alcohol can be drying.
5. Blow-Dry for Volume
After any of the above methods, blow-dry your hair upside down. The heat and lift can make hair appear voluminous and oil-free. Pair it with a light texturizing spray for an extra refreshed look.
Pro Tip: To prevent oily hair buildup, try not touching your hair too often and using minimal conditioner only on the ends. These small habits can keep your hair fresher for longer.
