Cute Hairstyles When Your Hair's Greasy
Greasy hair can be a frustrating problem to deal with. It can make your hair look dull, lifeless, and unattractive. But don’t worry, there are cute hairstyles that can help you disguise greasy hair and still look fabulous. As a hairstylist with over 10 years of experience, I’ve helped many clients with greasy hair find stylish and easy-to-do hairstyles that make them feel confident. In this article, I’ll share with you some of my favorite cute hairstyles for when your hair’s greasy, along with tips and tricks to keep your hair looking fresh and clean.
1. The Messy Bun
The messy bun is a classic hairstyle that works wonders for greasy hair. Not only does it hide the greasiness, but it also gives you a chic and effortless look. To create a messy bun, start by gathering your hair into a high ponytail. Then, twist the ponytail and wrap it around the base to form a bun. Secure the bun with bobby pins and pull out a few strands of hair to frame your face. You can also tease the hair at the crown for added volume. Finish off with a spritz of dry shampoo to absorb any excess oil.
2. The Sleek Ponytail
If you’re looking for a more polished and sophisticated hairstyle, the sleek ponytail is the way to go. To achieve this look, start by applying a small amount of styling gel or pomade to tame any flyaways. Then, gather your hair into a high ponytail and secure it with a hair tie. For extra sleekness, you can use a flat iron to straighten your hair before tying it up. To hide any greasiness around the roots, wrap a small section of hair around the hair tie and secure it with a bobby pin.
3. The Half-Up Half-Down
The half-up half-down hairstyle is perfect for those days when you want to show off your length but still keep your hair out of your face. To create this hairstyle, start by dividing your hair into two sections – the top half and the bottom half. Gather the top half of your hair and secure it with a hair tie or a cute hair accessory. You can leave the bottom half of your hair down or style it in loose waves for added texture. This hairstyle works well with greasy hair because the top section covers the roots and gives the illusion of clean hair.
4. The Braided Crown
The braided crown is a romantic and feminine hairstyle that can hide greasy roots while adding a touch of elegance to your look. To create this hairstyle, start by parting your hair down the middle. Take a small section of hair from one side and begin braiding it towards the back of your head. Secure the braid with a bobby pin and repeat on the other side. Once both braids are in place, cross them over each other at the back of your head and secure them with bobby pins. You can leave the rest of your hair down or style it in loose waves for a more bohemian vibe.
5. The Textured Low Bun
The textured low bun is a simple yet stylish hairstyle that works well with greasy hair. To create this look, start by applying a texturizing spray or dry shampoo to add some volume and grip to your hair. Gather your hair into a low ponytail at the nape of your neck and secure it with a hair tie. Twist the ponytail and wrap it around the base to form a low bun. Secure the bun with bobby pins and pull out a few strands of hair to create a relaxed and messy look. Finish off with a spritz of hairspray to hold everything in place.
FAQs
Q: How often should I wash my hair if it gets greasy quickly?
A: If your hair gets greasy quickly, it’s best to wash it every other day or every two days. Washing your hair too frequently can strip it of its natural oils and cause it to produce even more oil, leading to greasy hair.
Q: Are there any hairstyles that can help prevent greasy hair?
A: While there’s no hairstyle that can completely prevent greasy hair, there are some things you can do to minimize oiliness. Avoid hairstyles that flatten your hair against your scalp, as this can make it easier for oil to build up. Instead, opt for hairstyles that add volume and texture, such as loose waves or braids.
Q: Can I use dry shampoo to hide greasy hair?
A: Yes, dry shampoo is a great tool for hiding greasy hair. It absorbs excess oil and adds volume to your hair, making it look and feel cleaner. Just be sure to brush out any residue and not to rely on dry shampoo as a substitute for regular washing.
With these cute hairstyles and tips, you can confidently rock your greasy hair and still look fabulous.
