Step 1
Before taking a shower, put your hair in a tight pony tail then bobby pin all the loose ends so that there are no loose tendrils hanging. Put at least 2 shower caps on your head making sure that every strand is safely tucked in. The look may not be sexy, but the aim here is to keep your hair as dry as possible while showering. Of course, you can always forgo the shower and just take a bath, but it is still a good idea to pin up your hair and keep it as far away from water as possible.

Step 2
Every morning, run a ceramic straightening iron lightly over any pieces that may have curled slightly while you were sleeping. Make sure you put the iron's temperature on as low as possible so as not to damage your hair. Using a straightening iron this way will also evenly distribute any oils that may have accumulated in your hair in between washing it.

Step 3
In between washing your hair, use dry shampoo. Bumble and bumble salon sells something called hair powder. It's a dry shampoo that you sprinkle on your hair then brush out. The powder absorbs dirt and hair products when sprayed on. The best part is that it comes in colors: brown for brunettes, red for redheads, and white for blonds.
Another option is using baby powder as a dry shampoo. Just sprinkle a small amount in the palm of your hands, rub them together, then apply it to your hair, concentrating on the scalp where hair tends to be the most oily. Then brush out the remnants. There is some practice that is required for this, as if you sprinkle on too much powder, you'll look like you're going gray. Once you get it right however, this is a good way to dry up any excess oiliness in between shampoos. -
Step 4
Put your hair in a ponytail in rainy weather. Keeping your hair in a ponytail will keep your hair from getting too wet and frizzy. Of course, make sure you have an umbrella when going out in the rain!
