Luckily, there are a number of pretty hairstyles for oily hair to keep you feeling fancy even on days when a full shampoo and blow out and just not going to happen.

Hairstyles like braids and buns are great at hiding the build-up and pulling your look together without much extra effort. Not to mention these new 'dos may help manage your oily hair, as they don’t require products that can cause oil build-up.
