How to Use Baby Powder on Hair to Get Rid of Grease
For a lot of women, especially those who flat iron their hair, the style looks better on the second day once natural hair oils have worked their way through. This can lead to hair that looks a little oily at the roots, but not dirty enough to risk ruining the style by washing it. Applying a small amount of baby powder can absorb the excess grease and make hair look fresh and clean. This trick is also good for anyone in a hurry, including guys, who don't have time to wash their hair. Does this Spark an idea?
