Oily bangs solution

[Margarita]

Hello, i have bangs for a quite long time but an issue keeps me wondering what i can do about the oiliness my bangs get. I wash my bangs almost everyday and i dont want to, its not like if it will get damaged but its like it gets oily again. I thinked about buying a dry shampoo but i know they're quite a bit expensive and i dont want to give too much money on products. Any ideas?

I guess you already outlined the solutions: washing the bangs or dry shampoo. The latter shouldn't be too expensive, if you only use it on this small area. A bottle will last a long time I'm sure.

A third option would be some sort of styling on the oily day: braid the bangs, pin them, set them on finger waves, poof them, push them back with a headband or a scarf.

And when all else fails, hats can be nice! :D

Hmmmm, i was also thinking adding some mousse on my bangs roots to "hold" the oiliness. You know what, i dont want to wash everyday the bangs because that makes the hair dye to fade little by little. I use an organic permanent hair dye.

Maybe try a little arrowroot powder. It's white but mostly disappears in dark hair.

I see, i'll try it if so.

I have bangs and the same problem with you. I only have 2 things to say : OILY FOREHEAD. The oil on your skin is being absorbed by your hair.
This stopped when I started washing my face day and night.

It's just occurred to me that my fringe stopped getting oily when I stopped applying moisturiser to my forehead.

Oily forehead was my problem also when I had bangs. Washing my face morning and night helped, but I found it also helped to wash the bangs. However, that was not a big deal, I just washed them when I did my face, using the soap.

This. I just posted my routine and recipe for a dry shampoo for dark hair in a dry shampoo thread just above this one! It's cheap, natural and very effective.

Maybe think of growing them out? Has that ever occurred or appealed to you?

I think either washing them every day or a dry shampoo, or growing them out. I think other than that there is fairly little you can do.

Washing my forehead several times a day and using blotting paper on the forehead and hairline in between washings really helped me when I had oily bangs. My bangs can go a week between washes.

I agree with everyone who said oily forehead can add to the issue.

Also with washing bangs daily you get overproduction of sebum from scalp too. So stretch washes too. Can you maybe twist them up and off the face on day 2-3?
