I avoid shampooing and conditioning my hair everyday because the more I shampoo, the more oil my scalp produces. To clean my hair and reduce the oil, I use cornstarch. Rub a small amount of cornstarch to the root; leave it for a few minutes to absorbs oil; brush it out.

There are some alternatives to cornstarch:

  • Baby powder, best for lighter hair.
  • Cocoa powder, best for darker hair.
