Any hair color tips for greasy hair?

I have some issues with greasy hair which is mainly due to a thyroid disease I have. I am looking to perhaps color my hair in some way whether it's highlights or dye my whole hair one color. Would doing this help dry my hair out? My hair is a dirty blonde, so I'm looking to either go blonder or more brunette. Any suggestions? Would these colors help decrease the look of greasiness? Thanks! I'll award a best answer if there is one!Any hair color tips for greasy hair?
Darker hair will generally look greasier than it is because it reflects shine better than lighter colors. Going lighter usually creates more dryness in the hair than going darker because it has to open up the outermost layer of your hair (cuticle) to get to the innermost layer of your hair (cortex) to lift the color to a lighter shade. If your hair is more dry than it usually is..it my absorb more of your natural oil resulting in a less greasy look. So while there isn't anything you can do about how much oil you produce...going blonder may ease the look of greasiness. The best of luck to you...and on those in between days where your hair seems greasier than usual, you can always comb in a little baby powder to your roots to help absorb some of the excess. Good luck to ya!Any hair color tips for greasy hair?
i don't have super oily hair but it would look dirty and oily around the roots 1 day after i washed it. a few years ago i bleached the heck out of it, going from naturally medium brown to platinum blonde and i dyed it a lot. it became super dry and my hair didn't get oily as fast. my hair has grown out since then and is more healthy and it again gets oily after a short time. so yes if your hair was more dry/damaged it would most likely not get as oily but i'm guessing you would have to drastically change the color. the best way would be to bleach it to like a platinum blonde - bleaching your hair twice with 20 or 30 volume peroxide. just dying your hair one time doesn't really do much damage - store bought hair dye isn't really damaging at all. the higher the peroxide, the more damaging. if you don't want it that light you can redye it with a slightly darker color if you wanted but i would recommend bleaching it first to dry it out. your hair will probably be damaged but you can use a reconstructing conditioner on it and it will make your hair look better visually but it will still be damaged. that's what i did anyway. good luck!
dying your hair will dry your hair out, but not the way you want it to. find a good shampoo for greasy hair, don't brush your hair as much, %26amp; when washing your hair don't scrub your scalp too hard because that will make your hair even more greasy.
putting talcon powder or baby powder helps reduce appearance of greasyness... i personally wouldnt dye it as it wont change it...
