Hairstyles - freshly washed hair vs oily/unwashed hair

[Emila]

Do you choose different hairstyles based on how clean your hair is or how oily it is?

If you do, please share which hairstyles you use for freshly washed hair and which ones you use for when your hair is a bit oily or due for a wash.

I know there are already some threads for oily hair hairstyles but I couldn't find a thread for hairstyles for freshly washed hair. But I might not have used the right search terms so that's not to say they don't exist!

I'm interested in seeing how other people's choices compare and also get more ideas for hairstyles in the process lol

Me:
Freshly washed hair: I am usually stuck with single cinnibuns. My hair is very fluffy and slippery when clean and it's hard to get it into an updo because it just won't behave. Before coming here and learning about hair damage, I would often wear my hair loose at this point.
Oily hair: I am discovering that I can do quite a lot more with it in terms of updos and braids. I tend to do more sectioned hairstyles and more braided buns. I did a rope twist bun last week. But I could not wear it loose at this point if I wanted to.

Thanks in advance

The only difference I can think of is that I will only wear my hair loose if it's freshly washed but not very often because when I'm busy, it falls into my face, tickles my neck, and gets in my way. It's most likely to be braided and bunned, or just bunned, especially when it's oily.

My hair gets super slippery as well when it's clean. When it's freshly washed, I'll leave it down, usually pulled towards the front so I don't sit against it. If I'm putting it up, cinnibuns with spin pins, or a sort of French twist with claw clips or a hair fork seem to hold best. For oily hair, I still bun it up at work with the spin pins (because I can't use sticks/forks at work), but I'll do more interesting stuff with sticks and forks still in bun and twist varieties at home. I have layers, so I'm not a huge fan of braids on me and tend not to do much with them.

The only thing I can successfully do on my hair when it's oily is a braid or a side braid. My hair is on the thinner side and my scalp does show in a bun if my hair is on day 3-4. I wash twice a week.

Freshly washed hair is usually much more slippery so I stick to nautilus or lazy wrap buns. After it's dirtier, I do more braided styles - braided buns, lace braids for accent, crown braids.

I will do braids on oiler hair, ponytails on fresh hair as I don't like the slick greasy aspect of the front part when you do a ponytail. I will also wear them loose on greasy days beaches my oiler part is the sides and I can therefore mask them.

because and not beaches.....

My hair is slippery no matter if it's freshly washed or oily. I usually wear it down when it's freshly washed. Sometimes I'll put it in a side braid or a bun, but they never stay for long. When it's oily I always wear it away from my face in some way- either a pony tail, a braid, or a bun.

I wear the same bun every day, so the only thing I choose is the colour of my stick! It's easiest that way, especially at 6:30 in the morning. I tend to get some scalp showing when my hair's oily, so I'm just more aware of how I pull back my ponytail.

I prefer my 3-4 week old hair because the bun becomes incredibly sleek. The first week after shampoo my hair got too slippery to handle. But no matter what state my hair is in, it's always bunned up during the day when I'm busy at work or working out, and braided down at night inside my bonnet.
