Straight hair
Style drops, gets oily fast
The problem
Straight hair loses its shape fast, and scalp oil runs straight down the shaft, so it goes greasy sooner than any other type.
What works
You need high hold and zero weight. Gel is the only format strong enough to hold a shape on hair that fights holding one.
What to avoid
Skip heavy waxes and shea butter. They flatten straight hair and speed up the grease.
