Yeah I too have dark hair and when I use the baby powder it looks like I have some kind of funky gray hair color....even after I brushed it out.

Well I ordered two different kinds of Dry Shampoo and should be expecting the shippment anyday. I ordered Psssst (spray) and another one I can't remember the name of. I'm crossing my fingers it works.....I will let you all know!!!

 
Baseball cap was the first answer I thought of LOL. I can't even put my hair up the next day, it feels so gross and makes my skin all oily itchy.

I hope the dry shampoo works for you, then it might work for me too :)

PS JessyAnn- Happy 1st anniversary a few days late

 
I heard to give yourself great long scalp massage helps not getting greasy hair on the day 2.:kopfkratz:

 
Ohhhh glad to hear it....i'm waiting on my shipment and I can't wait to try it!

 
When I got a hair color once at an Aveda salon they recommend me something its a rinse that they use for people who have oily hair. she said it was really good. I never tried it though

I did try the Oscar Blandi dry shampoo. It works REALLY WELL!!!! but it is probably just a pick up me during the day kind of the thing. Althought i did use it before when i didnt have time to wash my hair in the morning. It did well.

But now when I run out of time, I just wash the only teh front section of my hair...like the bangs and hair that is close to my face. IT makes it look like I took a full shower. I also brush it with a Boars bristle brush I got a sephora. Doing those 2 combine really makes a good difference!!! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

EDIT: Oh yea, I did the baby powder thing..I know what you mean about looking like you have funky gray hair. it helps if you blow dry it out.

 
Hi there, you can put some babypowder at the roots and then blow the rest away with the hairdryer. It absorbs greasiness and really helps! succes!

 
Ugh. I know what you mean. If I mess with my hair too much during the day too like running my hands through it or brushing it then my hair starts getting very oily even though I washed it that morning. I definitely wanna know if the dry shampoo works. I am sure I am causing more problems by washing my hair everyday, but it is really hard to walk outta the house with greasy looking hair. I never feel really clean if my hair feels gross.

 
Hi all- My co Hair Fix makes a dry shampoo that might help. Don't want to evangelize but the feedback on the site speaks for itself if you are interested it's called Hair Fix and the site is myhairfix- you can enter 10off for a 10% discount too :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Hope it's okay to post this here- don't want to sound like I am making a sales pitch but since people asked about dry shampoos and where to get them....

 
^ I just checked out the website, looks like a good product for oily hair. I like the fact that you can get differnet colors (brown, black) which will probably blend in better for darker colored hair.

I just noticed - free shipping in the US :rockwoot:

 
Thanks, Sonia_K. Yes, free shipping is a nice perk ;) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Check out our News page for our recent press if you'd like! It's also vegan, organic and scented without perfumes- only essential oils- great for people with allergies/sensitive skin AND we donate a percentage of sales to charities!

 
Yeah I have tried that before but my hair always comes out looking like I have a grayish tint to it but thanks for the advice anyway.

Well I got my shipment of Psssst today and I tried it and it seems to work pretty good. The real test will be on saturday when my hair will not have been washed in more than a day. I will let you all know how it works....so far (my hair was only a little oily....I washed it this morning) so good.

I think I will check into that one too.....thanks

 
use a shampoo for oily hair only on the roots. do it twice. If your hair is long use a moisturizing shampoo on the rest of your hair and the shampoo for oily hair on the roots. Volumizing shampoo also works on the roots. Do not put conditioner on the top of your head just the ends.

Pantene full and thick shampoo, vichy dercos oil delaying shampoo, marc anthony thick shampoo, AG peppermint wash shampoo, Matrix amplify shampoo.

They also make dry shampoo sprays now that you can use to refresh your scalp so ir helps dry out some of the oil.

People still sue the old trick of baby powder on their scalp. it helps absorb oil, just make sure to blend it in well.

 
About massaging your scalp, I've heard that actually increases oil production.

Also about the dry shampoo, can you find it at drugstores like CVS or only at hair salons and beauty stores and online?

 
I couldn't find any Dry Shampoos at CVS or even at Ulta so I found them on ebay. As a matter of fact I am getting ready to go out and I am gonna use the Pssssst spray I got. I will let you know how it held up through the day.

 
I have to say, it's probably something you're doing that's making things so bad. If you could tell us your entire haircare routine -- products, styling, whether you shampoo once or twice, whether you put conditioner on all over or just from the ears down -- I bet people could more helpfully suggest alternatives for you.

I had this problem. It got worse the more things I tried to put it right, up until the day I stopped using conditioner anywhere above my neck, stopped blow-drying and stopped using styling product every day. I now have waist-length hair that can easily go 2-3 days without washing, as long as I don't do something like spend time lying on the beach or sitting in a smokey pub that gets it dirty. Less = more.
