By Patrick Elliot

Braided hairstyles are great for less-than-squeaky-clean hair, but to spruce up your oily roots between washes you may want to try a spray-on dry shampoo. When applied around the front and crown areas and rubbed in, it absorbs excess oil to eliminate that greasy scalp look. Dry shampoo can also add volume to your style, even if it's not dirty! You can make your own dry shampoo from cornstarch (use solo on lighter hair) and unsweetened cocoa powder (mix both for darker hair).
Lastly, depending on your hair type, you may want to use hairspray, styling paste, and/or conditioning oil to prevent and combat frizz and flyaway. I have fine, dry, wavy hair that typically requires all the anti-frizz help it can get! My hair care routine involves washing twice per week, seldom use of hot tools, and applying organ oil to the ends every day. I'm careful to avoid breakage by detangling gently. Hair is more elastic and fragile when wet!
