Not all of us have the time to wash our hair every two days and dry shampoo can only do so much. But there are a few things you can do to make your hair less greasy.
Do you wash you hair every day? It could be the reason behind your greasy roots. Though it is important to shampoo your hair at least three times a week, doing it daily can strip your scalp of its natural oils. The scalp then produces more oil, which is why your hair gets greasy quicker if you are in the habit of daily shampooing.

How Often Do You Clean Your Brush?
This is pretty basic advice, yet somehow we often skip cleaning our brushes thoroughly. Hairbrushes gather dust, grease and dirt and retain residual chemicals from our styling products — yikes. That buildup could be causing extra oil in your hair. If possible, clean your brush every day.

You Must Exfoliate Your Scalp
Every time you wash your hair, take some time to clean your scalp. Like your skin does with makeup, your scalp gets clogged up with residuals from your products and dry shampoo, which could be collecting grease. Wash your hair with an exfoliating shampoo once a week.

Is It Your Products?
Lay off the intense formulas until you have figured out what triggers your scalp's oil production. If you use styling products every day, you may be using ingredients not compatible with your hair. Choose lighter formulas, preferably ones that don't contain oil.
