Baby powder (any brand will do) is a great and easy way to remove grease or moisture from your hair, or to simply put a "spark" back into your hairdo!

Baby powder absorbs moisture. That is what is it made to do. So if your hair is greasy and you don't have time for a shower, just use some baby powder!

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • hair in need of fixing
  • baby powder
  • 2 minutes
  1. Step 1

    To apply baby powder simply put a small pile in the palm of your hand. Put a little in both hands, then apply it to your roots, by your scalp.

  2. Step 2

    Be sure to rub the powder in very well, or else you may have little piles of white dust in your part! People might think that you have dandruff!

  3. Step 3

    To make sure that the powder is getting distributed all throughout your roots, you can put your head upside down and vigorously rub in the powder. You do not need to put any powder on the ends or tips of your hair. Focus on the roots.

  4. Step 4

    How do you know when you're done adding the powder? When your hair is back to its normal, lighter color and all the moisture is gone! Also, you are done whenever you have completely rubbed in the powder, so no white can be seen.

  5. Step 5

    Once done rubbing in the powder, arrange your hair into a style, and you are done! Voila! No more greasy, unwashed-looking hair! And this technique also works on your bangs as well.

  6. Step 6

    Your hair may have static electricity now that you've just rubbed powder into it, so you may need to smooth it down with your hands, or simply put a few drops of water on your brush as you brush your hair. If you want to use hair spray or a styling product, go right ahead!

    Your hair now looks fresh again and you did not even have to shower!
