    Shampoo your hair twice & rinse well in cool water every morning in a shampoo that is made for oily hair. Just read the labels at the store & try one, it doesnt have to be too expensive to work.

    Is your hair long or short or is it medium length? I wear my hair long now but it looks real cute short. IF you wash it more find a style that is easy take care of. Check out some short hair cuts.

    As for hair color, idk. Most hair colors have a drying effect on hair. I would stick really close to your natural color.

    Most home hair colors end you darker than the box color!!!

    Loreal Feria is a good choice because its easy to find & easy to use & you get high & low lights mixed in.

    i have the same problem... make sure you get a shampoo for oily hair... that normally helps a little. paul mitchell and matrix products are excellent the second day when i can tell my hair is getting oily, i'll put it up, with the bangs pinned in a bob on top of my head with some pins. the extra lift hides the oil, and helps keep it off your head from getting more oily. it looks cute too!

    Instead of coping with oily hair, get rid of it! If you take showers regularily (like every day or every other day) and still get oily hair that fast add some baby powder to your hair. Works wonders. Good luck.

    Ok first of all: DONT wash your hair every day which I;m sure you dont, but just wanted to stop you from taking that approach.

    I have oily hair. Alot of times it comes from what you eat as well. Avoid oily/fried foods, mayonaise, chocolates, etc and stick to more veggies and fruits, water, etc.

    I wash my hair every 2-3 days. I have dark hair (black/brown) so yea.. oilyness shows up pretty quick. I'm guessing lighter hair. But try changing your diet as well.

    I too have oily hair if you have dark-ish hair it stand out more, but if you wash your hair every 2 nights like me it doesnt get oily. try using selsun blue 2 in 1 its not meant to help control oily scalps but it helped me and my friends you should try it

    Try a clarifying shampoo. Works wonders if you condition well afterwards.
