For hair washing there are two teams: the “haircare girls” who love to pamper their manes (oil bath, shampoo, conditioner, treatment, styling mousse, serum, etc.), they do not skimp on any step . And, there are those for whom laundry day is a real chore. For oilier hair, it’s quite tempting to wash it every day, but this is a big mistake. So, to space out your shampoos each with their own method, some choose micellar water to spray at the roots a few days after shampooing, others prefer to use a miracle kitchen ingredient to apply directly to the scalp.
In any case, the few days before shampooing, we generally opt for “hide poverty” hairstyles. It is clear that some work better than others. Laura Polko, hair specialist Sun Bum and celebrity hairdressers, revealed in the magazine Bustle, the 4 best hairstyles to hide your oily hair. Bonus, they are ultra-trendy!
The most trendy hairstyles to hide your oily hair
The straightened ponytail
The straightened ponytail has the advantage of being suitable for all hair lengths and gives a super chic look. “Applying natural oils will make your hair more manageable and give it a shiny finish when pulled back into a tight hairstyle”, explains Laura Polko. Margot Robbie, Selena Gomez and Adèle Exarchopoulos are big fans of the slick ponytail!
The ballerina bun
The ballerina bun is perfect for a chic and glamorous look. To create this type of bun, simply tie your hair into a ponytail, keeping a part in the middle of your head, then wrap it into a bun. To obtain a perfectly flat bun, opt for a styling gel or cream, this helps avoid all the “rebellious” little hairs. To give a more romantic touch, you can leave your little locks outside the bun, said the hair specialist.
The shiny braid
The shiny braid is “another hairstyle that I often create for oily hair”, says Laura Polko. It perfectly camouflages these unwanted items and gives the appearance of an ultra-worked look. To create a pretty braid, separate your hair into three equal parts and braid. “Once the braid is complete and secure, finish it with a light dusting of hairspray to hold it in place. To create a relaxed look, use your fingers to gently pull at the sides of the braid to relax it and add a little texture”, advises the hair expert. The model and actress, Eva Longoria, is a big fan of the shiny braid.
Wet hair
“Wet hair” has been ultra-trendy in recent months. Already adopted by many stars like Louane, Rihanna and Zendaya, this glamorous hairstyle allows you to perfectly hide your dirty mane. To achieve the wet hair look, style your hair towards the back of your head then apply moisturizing products (oil, wax, styling cream) to the ends. Finish with hairspray to set your hairstyle. For fine hair, don’t hesitate to comb your roots to add volume. Now, it’s your turn to play !
