Q&A for How to Keep Bangs from Getting Oily

This happens because of the oil produced from your forehead. To prevent this, try using oil blotting sheets. They are about $3 at HEB. This can also be prevented if you stop touching or running your fingers through them.

Try some hairspray. If you don't want to do that, try taking a shower, then holding your bangs to your forehead and letting them dry in that position. Or put a hairband around your wet bangs and let them dry like that.

Avoid brushing your hair too much or using shampoo too often. These will dry out your hair and cause excessive oil to be produced on your scalp.

That will definitely cause your hair to become greasier because of the oil in your fingers. Notice when you do this and train yourself to stop it. Remind yourself that it annoys other people to see you constantly tugging at your hair and it is hard to see your face when you keep covering it with your hand.

Try wetting them down and control the shape as they dry by combing. Once they are mostly dry, try straightening them again.

An easy fix is to quit touching them, and if you're already doing this. Also, straightening them helps get rid of the oil.
