For most people, greasiness is most evident in part lines and front layers. One effective way to deal with oily hair is to get rid of the part by sweeping the front section back from temple to temple. Some might be tempted to add volume but it's not always necessary. A gelled half updo with straight lengths has a sharp, non-greasy finish.

Boxer Braids
As the experts stated, boxer braids is a brilliant greasy hair hairstyle. Part hair down the center and plait each side into tight braids. Add a bit of hair gel as you go for a sleek (read: not greasy) finish.

Root-Concealing Headband
Headbands can be a girl's best friend for concealing greasy roots. Fold a scarf into a headband and you can make it as thick as you need depending on the state of hair. If you need to cover the entire head, do it. Tie hair lengths in a low updo and fasten the scarf at the back of the head for a glam finish.

Double Buns
A gelled low bun is a go-to hairstyle for many who don't have time to wash their hair. Play around with the look by parting hair on the side and styling ends into two low buns rather than one. Position the space buns behind each ear for an elegant look. FYI: A dark lipstick does wonders for drawing the eye away from unwashed hair.

Zigzag Effect
The zigzag headband made a surprise appearance on the Fall 2018 runways. Take advantage of the throwback style's greasy root-concealing abilities by pairing it with a low twist. The headband is meant to give hair a sleek, separated finish. Given that's what dirty hair tends to do by itself, it all works.
