Greasy roots can feel like a beauty buzzkill—especially on days when dry shampoo isn’t cutting it and washing your hair again sounds like a chore. But according to celebrity hairstylist and one of our expert panellists, Aanchal Morwani, it’s all about knowing how to work with your scalp type and using a few smart tricks to refresh your hair (and your look) in minutes.
Here, Morwani breaks down how to manage oily strands, style day-three hair like a pro, and stretch your hair wash days without compromising on volume or polish.

The first rule? Tailor your wash routine to your scalp type—not just your hair texture. Morwani recommends that if you have an oily scalp, you’ll need to wash more frequently to avoid buildup and maintain balance. For those with a normal to dry scalp, spacing out washes can actually help your natural oils nourish your hair more evenly.
To prevent greasiness before it starts, build small habits into your routine. One of the easiest? Use a hair dryer on your roots after sweating (especially post-gym or on humid days) to minimize oil buildup. It's a simple step that can help your hair stay fresher, longer.
For days when a full wash isn’t on the cards, Morwani recommends this quick ritual for fresher roots. Section off the crown of your hair and shampoo only that area. It instantly revives your look while keeping things low effort.
Need something that’s even quicker and much less effort? Dry shampoo can be a game changer—if you’re using it right. Morwani recommends spraying from a few inches away and allowing the product to sit for a minute before massaging it in or brushing it through. This gives the formula time to absorb excess oil. Just make sure to wash it out the next day to avoid product buildup and clogged follicles.
Bonus tip: When in doubt, Morwani swears by this hack—swap dry shampoo for a light hairspray at the roots—it can actually absorb oil more effectively while adding hold and lift.
When all else fails, lean into it. Sleek styles—like low ponytails, middle-parted buns, or braided looks—are ideal for oily hair. They not only mask grease but also work better with a little natural texture. Aanchal’s go-to style? Part your hair as you like, smooth it down with a bit of hairspray in the direction you’re styling, and secure it with a rubber band for a clean, sculpted finish.
