QuestionMy bangs get oily quicker than the rest of my hair. Why does this keep happening and how do I prevent it?Community AnswerThis happens because of the oil produced from your forehead. To prevent this, try using oil blotting sheets. They are about $3 at HEB. This can also be prevented if you stop touching or running your fingers through them.

QuestionBecause I have had a middle part quite a lot, when I got my block bangs, they split in the middle. How do I combine them and get rid of the gap to make them look perfect?Community AnswerTry some hairspray. If you don't want to do that, try taking a shower, then holding your bangs to your forehead and letting them dry in that position. Or put a hairband around your wet bangs and let them dry like that.

QuestionHow do I keep the top of my hair from becoming oily?Community AnswerAvoid brushing your hair too much or using shampoo too often. These will dry out your hair and cause excessive oil to be produced on your scalp.
