How to Avoid Greasy Hair

As many of you know, you should NOT wash your hair every day. Hair should be washed no more than every other day. I like to wash my hair every other day or every two days. Also, when I have days off from work and therefore just lounge around the house, I NEVER wash my hair. I dye my hair quite often and washing it a lot causes the color to fade very quickly.

When I first stopped washing my hair, I tried using dry shampoo. I purchased a bottle of Rockaholic Dirty Secret Dry Shampoo and I loved it. The problem is, this product was very expensive in my opinion and I only got a few uses out of it.  After that, I purchased Sally's Brand Dry Shampoo but even that cost my around $7 a bottle.

After trying dry-shampoo, a friend suggested that I try baby powder. Yes, baby powder. I know that may sound odd, but it really works.

I have pretty greasy hair so I use baby powder the day after I have washed it. First, I comb my hair to get it neat and then I pour some powder into my hand and run it through my hair. I focus on the roots and the hair right by my face because that is where my hair gets the greasy-iest. Not until does this remove grease, but it keeps your hair smelling nice and fresh.

**Be sure to use the powder before you are wearing your outfit, otherwise you are likely to get it all over your clothes.Secondly, never use a hair brush on your hair after you have used the powder, it will make it look like you have dandruff** 

I use generic baby powder that I bought at Target for under $1. It's only 4 oz but I have been using it for months and I still have plenty left.
