Baby powder is a great way to absorb oils in hair!

Wouldn't that make your hair go white? :D

Haha, well you have to work it in. But no.

When you are ready to style your hair. Apply a small amount by gently pouring it along your hair line that frames your face and on the part of your hair.

Use a brush or comb to comb the baby powder through your hair. Start at the front of your hair line and comb back.

Look in the mirror to see if all the oil has been absorbed by the powder. Add more powder as necessary until you achieve your desired look.

It's great if your hair is fine, limp or thin. But works just the same with thicker hair too.

I might give it a go then... I can wash my hair in the morning and it's stringy by the evening, I hate it.

I have to live with it being stringy because I was told that if I washed it every day that would just make it oilier

I don't know about that. I have oily hair, I wash my hair every night, if not it's grease city. If I miss a day, I use the baby powder.
I use 2 different types of shampoo. I am sure someone will tell you they are awful, but they work great for me. I switch them up every so often.
1st one is John Freida Root awakenings, it has mint in which helps keep it oil free. The next is made by Panteen and it is a clarifying shampoo, crap can't think of the name, I will post it here tonight.
