Oily hair & scalp: what flatters it
Best avoided
Sleek, flat, heavy blunt styles that show oil at the roots almost immediately.
Decision guide
- Texture and root lift disguise oil far better than a flat, sleek line.
- A piecey pixie or choppy shag looks intentional on day-two hair.
- Less length near the scalp means less to look greasy.
