Have you tried using a hair powder or dry shampoo. That can help eliminate oil from hair.  Check out some of these best user rated dry shampoos from a recent article on Totalbeauty.com.

Good luck!

thanks!!

Dry shampoos are great for an instant fix for oily hair. If I were you I would try a line of hair care made for oily hair to try to imrove it over time. I love Aveda products so I would try Scalp Benefits.

I have the same problem.  But recently Suave has come out with a dry shampoo that I love!  Some of the others (tresemme & salon graphix) just leave my hair feeling even dirtier than before.  But the Suave is great, plus it smells terrific, so even for those who don't have really oily hair it could work well as a "refresher".
