Braids of any type do a good job of disguising greasy hair roots. The thicker the weave, the better. We advise you to do a slight backcomb at the crown to conceal the more visible part of the unwashed hair. Make sure the braid doesn’t turn out smooth. A small amount of sticking-out hair will help hide the staleness.
Comb your hair before bedtime
Comb your hair before going to bed. Once you’ve settled on your pillow, pull your hair back in such a way as to arrange it along the upper edge of the pillow. If the length allows, make a quick ponytail or a loose braid.
Change your parting
Switch your parting from one side to the other, or replace a straight parting with a diagonal one. The reason for doing this is simple: our hair gets used to being arranged in a certain fashion, which leads to loss of volume at the roots. Also, it tends to become dirtiest along the parting line. Shifting the parting gives your hair volume, a new look, and an appearance of cleanliness.
Avoid flat hairdos
Try not to give preference to smooth and sleek hairstyles: they’ll make your hair look even more messy and greasy.
The best option would be to slightly backcomb the hair at the roots to achieve extra volume, and then secure it in a shell or a bun.
Wash your brushes
Don’t forget to clean your styling tools regularly to prevent residues of surface skin fat, conditioner, and styling substances from gluing your hair together. Brushes and combs should be washed once a week in warm water with shampoo or soap.
The right way to wash your hair
- Dry wet hair with a T-shirt instead of a towel to smooth your frizzy hair.
- Don’t scrub your scalp. Use your fingertips to gently massage shampoo into your hair.
- Roots should never, ever be conditioned.
- Wring out your hair before applying hair conditioner.
