Step
Method 1 of 12: Use a shampoo formulated for oily hair
Step 1. This product can clean bangs without weighing them down
Shampoos formulated for "normal" or "dry" hair contain moisturizing ingredients that leave a film on the bangs and make them greasy faster. Check the product label and make sure the shampoo you are using is formulated for oily/thin hair.
- Avoid shampoos labeled “dry”, “damaged”, “smoothing”, or “glossy” because they tend to contain a lot of moisturizing ingredients.
- Try using a clarifying shampoo or purifying shampoo once a week to deeply cleanse your hair and bangs.
Method 2 of 12: Wash your bangs daily
Step 1. Try washing your bangs every morning while you wash your face
Washing your hair with shampoo every day is not recommended because it can dry out your hair. However, your bangs stick to your forehead leaving them exposed to more oil throughout the day. To keep your bangs from getting greasy, wash them once a day, especially if you have oily skin too.
While washing your face in the morning, it's a good idea to wash your bangs in the sink too
Method 3 of 12: Avoid using conditioner on your bangs
Step 1. The moisturizing ingredients in the conditioner can weigh down the bangs
In general, bangs don't need conditioning, especially if you have oily hair. When conditioning your hair, do not use conditioner on the bangs.
Always use conditioner from the middle to the ends of the hair so that the roots and scalp are not exposed to the conditioner
Method 4 of 12: Absorb the oil with a dry shampoo
Step 1. Spray or sprinkle dry shampoo on the roots, then work it into your bangs to even out the hair
Dry shampoo is a must have product if your bangs tend to get greasy easily! Take a small bottle of shampoo with you when you leave the house and spray a little product on your bangs when they start to look greasy.
- Dry shampoo can absorb oil and give a little volume to the bangs so they don't look limp and stick to the forehead.
- Baby powder can be a quick solution if you don't have dry shampoo on hand. Just sprinkle some powder on your bangs, then comb your bangs to allow the powder to absorb the oil.
Method 5 of 12: Choose an oil-free styling product
Step 1. Check labels such as “oil-free” and “greaseless” on the product
Some gels, mousses, and serums can add oil to the hair when used. To keep your bangs from getting greasy, don't forget to check the label on your styling product before using it.
Method 6 of 12: Clean the styling tool
Step 1. This is often overlooked when you want to prevent oily bangs
It's no wonder that dirt, styling product residue, and oil start to build up on combs and styling tools like a vise. If you don't clean them regularly, the dirt and grease that builds up will move back to your bangs. To clean the hair styling tool:
- Remove the hairs that are caught in the comb once a week.
- Wipe flat irons and other styling tools with a damp washcloth weekly.
- Wash the teeth on the comb with baby shampoo once a month.
Method 7 of 12: Don't hold or touch your bangs
Step 1. Hands and fingertips produce natural oils that bangs can absorb
Sometimes it's hard to keep your hands off your bangs, especially if you need to style your hair during the day. However, as much as possible don't touch or hold your bangs so they don't get greasy.
- Bring and use a comb or bun if you need to rearrange your bangs during the day.
- Touching the forehead can also make the skin oily. After that, the bangs will absorb the oil that sticks to the forehead. Therefore, as much as possible do not touch your face.
Method 8 of 12: Wash your face twice a day
Step 1. Natural oils on the face can mess up all the bangs
To keep your bangs from getting greasy, make sure you wash your face with a mild soap twice a day (in the morning and at night). It's also a good idea to exfoliate your forehead and hairline area several times a week to prevent the build-up of dead skin cells and sebum.
- Gently massage the skin as you wash your face. Rubbing or rubbing too harshly on the skin can trigger irritation and encourage the pores to produce more oil.
- Avoid face washes that include alcohol in the ingredient list. Alcohol is a harsh substance that can cause skin irritation, and irritation encourages the production of more oil.
Method 9 of 12: Use oil-free cosmetics and skin care products
Step 1. Look for products labeled “oil-free” and “noncomedogenic”
Moisturizers, cleansers, and cosmetics often contain ingredients that can clog pores and cause oily skin. After that, the bangs will absorb the excess oil and eventually look greasy. Don't forget to check the labels on all products to make sure they don't contain oil.
Method 10 of 12: Apply a small amount of moisturizer to the forehead
Step 1. Bangs will absorb excess moisture from the skin
Pinch your bangs back before you apply moisturizer to your face and allow your skin to fully absorb the product before you let your bangs out. You just need to dab the moisturizer on the forehead. Bangs will absorb whatever is not absorbed by the skin in the forehead area.
Method 11 of 12: Apply powder on the forehead during the day
Step 1. A thin layer of loose powder can remove excess shine and absorb oil from the skin
Bring your favorite face powder to work or school, and check the condition of your forehead several times a day. Sprinkle a little powder on your skin whenever your forehead starts to look oily to absorb excess oil before it gets absorbed by your bangs.
Method 12 of 12: Bring absorbent paper
Step 1. Dab the paper on your forehead several times a day as needed to control the oil
If your forehead starts to shimmer from oil during the day, carefully place the oil absorbent paper on your skin and let it sit for a few seconds to absorb the oil. Don't rub the paper against your skin, as the oil can transfer to other parts of your face.
