It's happened to all of us: Instead of sticking to regular hair washing, you skip a few days and then find yourself struggling with greasy hair. While this can be annoying, it doesn't mean all is lost on the hairstyle front. If you don't have dry shampoo on hand, you can resort to a number of hairstyles for oily hair.
Quick hairstyles for oily hair – bun depending on the occasion
Messy Bun with Headscarf:How to conceal greasy hair with the hottest hair trends and classic hairstyles that conceal limp, straight roots. A messy bun is a fabulous (and fuss-free) option for anyone who isn't looking for a complicated hairstyle. It's not labor intensive and looks stylish on everyone. It also seamlessly hides greasy strands as your hair is pulled up onto your head and away from your face.
Low or side bun, with bobby pins (optional):The low bun offers an elegant and shiny finish. This elegant option makes your mane look smooth from all angles and ensures an all-round successful look. Start by gathering all of your hair at the nape of your neck and tying it into a low ponytail. Roll the length into a bun. Secure the hairstyle with bobby pins.
For an elegant side bun, simply secure your strands with a side ponytail. Then twist the length into a bun. Feel free to add a few pins for the ultimate elegant style.

Cover up oily hair with different braid variations
Double Dutch braids: If you love the look of braids and want to try a more modern version, double Dutch braids are a great choice.

It's a nice change from other braided hairstyles that require a lot of time in front of the mirror.
Side braid with headband (optional):A simple side braid is a quick way to spice up your greasy hair. This royal hairstyle consists of a classic side braid with a folk-style headband. To do it yourself, brush your hair on both sides of your head, take three equal strands together and braid them. Once you reach the ends, secure them with a hair tie, put on a sparkly headband of your choice and voila! Your accessory look is complete.
Hairstyles to hide greasy hair–Face Framing Baby Braids:These are the latest 90s hair trend making a major comeback.

More alternatives for a bad hair day
Classic Braided Ponytail:Hairstyles for oily hair don't have to be complicated, and the braided ponytail is a chic example of that. Pulling your hair back is a foolproof way to conceal oil on any hair type, and the braided details add an unexpected touch that works in your favor. You can style this look in a few minutes. Start by putting your hair in a ponytail. Divide your hair into three equal sections, braid a three-strand braid and secure the end with a hair tie.
Updo with hair clip:Thanks to TikTok, we're officially obsessed with bobby pins again (another '90s trend that's come full circle). With so many different designs, they are incredibly chic and can complete your entire look. Not to mention, hair clips aren't just extremely convenient when it comes to taming those pesky strands. They are also a great option for hiding oily hair. Wrap your mane into a virtual '90s hairstyle or pin it up for a half-up, half-down look. Whatever you choose, you won't go wrong.
Shampoo for oily hair:An oily scalp and hair can be extremely frustrating. If you have oily hair, washing your hair becomes a regular activity. Not only is this time consuming, but it also strips your scalp of the natural oils that keep your hair healthy. Therefore, you need a nutrient-rich shampoo that is able to remove the excess oils while being gentle on your scalp. A daily clarifying shampoo can be your best friend. However, you must remember that every hair is different. You may need to experiment a bit to find the shampoo that works best for you.
