I heard baby powder helps oily hair... is that true? how does it work?

How to apply it? when to wash off?I heard baby powder helps oily hair... is that true? how does it work?
Absolutely - its a nice trick if you just didnt have time to shower one morning - you just sprinkle some in your hands and rub together then run your fingers through your hair close to the scalp - just make sure not to get too much in any one spot so its noticeable - if you do just put water over it and it'll disappear.I heard baby powder helps oily hair... is that true? how does it work?
Yes it's true. The powder absorbs the oil. Sprinkle the powder lightly,rub into your hair then brush out.


It's mostly used on the roots since it's closer to the scalp where the oil comes from. If your hair is oily all over just shampoo. It doesn't take that long.


I shampoo daily but lets say if you're in school P.E. and your hair gets oily this is a good quick remedy.


When to wash it off? You don't want to use this as an excuse not to wash your hair. Like I said use in an emergency then when you get home shower or bathe and wash your hair.
It does, just don't put too much on your hair otherwise it turns greyish, but that's easy to fix (just tousle your hair and brush it a bit and it'll blend in more if that happens). It works because it's (usually) made from cornstarch and that absorbs moisture.





I use it everyday to keep my hair less oily, so it should work for you.
YES! it does. just put half a cup of baby powder in your shampoo and just wash when ever u usually wash your hair.
Yes it is true. Any type of powder absorbs moisture which is why baby powder is good for baby's bottoms so they dont get a rash on their bottom. Just put a lil in your hands and run it through .....wash your hair like normal.
Yes you can use baby powder on your hair.But only a little,and only on the roots.If you put on too much it will make your hair supper oily,and you should wash it out the next day
Yes it does. I use it quite often in between washes when the roots get oily. You sprinkle bit of the powder to the root area and blot it out. It works best on light hair since powder is white, but I have brown hair and it does not look too bad. Once you use the powder it's best to wash it out next day, do not keep re-applying it over and over. To wash it, just use the shampoo as you normally do.
it helps for a while if you don't apply to much or to little. It ';soaks'; up the oil and makes your hair look lighter than it does when its oily.





you can use it in the morning before you start your day. just put some in your hand and run it through your hair. Brush your hair out so you can't see the white, so people can't tell. You probably want to wash it off that night because it would've worn off by then.
yeah if you want to look like a powder puff retard
Baby powder doesnt help oily hair. If you want something to help you for oily hair, choose to put lemon or lime in ur hair to get rid of the oiliness. All u gotta do is sqeeze some lemon or lime juice and massage into ur hair. Let it stay like that for at least twenty min. before u wash off. Wash with a shampoo and not a conditioner. This will help.
