I’ve tried every possibly hair product out there. Almost every shampoo, every conditioner—you name it. I’m always looking for something that will make my hair soft, bouncy, and yes…non-oily. I have naturally oily skin that leads to greasy hair. I’m one of those people that literally have to wash their hair every day or every other day (max), depending on what I’m doing that day (or the next).
So what about that quick fix for oily hair when you just don’t want to jump in the shower and wash it? Well…I may have found it! Even better: you don’t have to dish out hundreds of dollars for it—you can make it yourself with a very basic (and cheap) ingredients. This is the type of homemade product that you would use when you have an emergency and you need to get out the door ASAP! It’s really easy to whip up and keep on hand for those freak-out days!
This product is honestly something that you can make right now, because I bet you have all the ingredients on hand. It’s a three ingredient fix that you’ll want to use over and over and you may even shock yourself with how well it works! I tripled this recipe so I would have it whenever I needed it.

Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp of cornstarch
- 4 tbsp of water
- 1 tbsp of rubbing alcohol
Directions:
- Add all ingredients together in a spray bottle and give it a shake!
- When you’re ready to use it, spray anywhere on your head or hair that needs attention.
- Run your fingers through your hair to distribute the product evenly.
- Now, blow dry your hair.
- Repeat if necessary!

You don’t have to go crazy with the spray, just dampen your hair and it should be enough to do the job. Be cautious that getting a little too spray-happy will cause the white cornstarch to show up in obvious spots. Don’t panic if this happens, it should wash out easily!
