Braids are another great option for hiding greasy roots while still looking chic. There are so many different types of braids you can try, from simple three-strand braids to more intricate fishtail or French braids.

This is a simple and quick way to give your hair a fresh look without having to wash it. Also, consider a side braid instead of braid in the middle of your face. This gives a different look and refreshens it.
Refresh hair with baby powder as dry shampoo alternative
Using baby powder to refresh your hair is a tried-and-tested trick that has been around for ages. It works just like dry shampoo, absorbing excess oil and giving your hair a cleaner, fresher look. Simply sprinkle a small amount of baby powder onto your roots, focusing on the oily areas.
Massage it in well, and then brush through your hair to remove any excess powder. Be careful not to use too much, as it can leave a white cast, especially on dark hair.
Baby powder is a travel essential for hair and skin
Baby powder can be helpful during travel so pack this as an alternative. Make sure that you are not allergic to baby powder. This is effective and a cheap way to freshen your hair. So always have baby powder available, it can be easily found in the market for a cheap price.
This is a age old trick done by our mothers and now we can bring it back into use. Also, baby powder can feel good to your skin in humid weather.
Clean hairline between washes to remove oil and dirt buildup
Another simple way to refresh your hair between washes is to focus on cleaning your hairline. The hairline is often the first place where oil and dirt accumulate, making your hair look greasy.
Use a damp cloth or cotton pad to gently wipe your hairline, paying attention to the areas around your forehead and temples. You can also use a mild cleanser or face wash to remove any buildup.
Wash front hair, moisturize after, for a refreshed look
Focus on washing front hair. Make sure to moisturise with a conditioner afterwards. This will only wash the front part of your hair which allows you to look fresh and keep the moisture and oils in your scalp. This gives you a refreshed look.
But make sure to not do this everyday as washing your hairline daily can damage it and deplete the moisture. So avoid washing your hair line daily.
Use hair perfume for a fresh, fragrant hair scent
Finally, consider using a hair perfume or hair mist to add a touch of fragrance and freshness to your hair. This is a great way to mask any odors and leave your hair smelling clean and lovely.
Look for hair perfumes that are specifically designed for hair, as they are usually lighter and less likely to weigh your hair down and try avoid using normal perfumes. Hair perfume must be made specifically for hair.
Use wooden combs for healthy hair, avoid plastic
Also, always comb your hair using a comb that is made of wood. Never use plastic combs as this can create static electricity in the hair strands. This will cause hair to be rough and unmanaged. Combing your hair often will improve the scalp health as well.
Remember to take care of your accessories that apply to your hair. A comb of wood or a natural material such as bamboo is the best material to use.
