I had this same problem too, it's so frustrating! I never do well with bangs haha. If I notice it starting to get worse I have to rebalance my scalp. Washing your hair everyday strips all of the natural oils, so your scalp produces more because it thinks your hair needs it.
Hold off on washing your hair for as long as you can - a minimum of 4-5 days. Dry shampoo (or cornflour in a salt shaker for a cheaper alternative), braids and updos will get you through it!
When you wash your hair shampoo the roots and drag it down to the ends, don't apply shampoo directly to the ends.
Condition from your ears down to the ends of your hair, none on your roots.
Only wash your hair every 2-3 days after that, it may take a week or two of lessening the shampoo but oil production should slow.
Good luck!

Some people have naturally oily hair. You won't ever get rid of that permanently but like some other women have said, try using a different shampoo, one specifically for oily hair. May help at least. If you happen to see your doctor sometime you get get their advice also.
This is your hair's nature. Just like mine, you have an oily hair. Probably an oily skin as well. You can't do anything but to just wash your hair properly and make sure also choose the appropriate shampoo according to your hair and skin type.

Washing hair daily is a very very bad idea, it will make it less oily but it will make it fragile no matter what shampoo what you use, wash every 2-3 days and your oily hair is not because of the hair it is because you dont drink enough water or you eat the wrong food, same goes with the skin, it shows if you eat oily foods or crappy mcdonalds cheesevomitburgers, try a week with raw vegetables, soy and rice, just a week i'm not saying go vegan or any of that crap
When you wash your hair with shampoo it strips out all the dirt and sweat and grease. But your scalp needs a natural amount of oil just like your skin does and you just washed all of that away. That makes your scalp over react and produce waaaaay too much oil.
The best way to deal with the grease is to start washing your hair less. Try washing every other day and then every two days. It will help your hair balance out and be healthier. Dry shampoo and updos will be your friends ;)The more you wash it, the more greasy it becomes. Hir gets greasy as a protective reaction against dryness. By making it dry every time, it will react in a counterway. And probably you are in a stage now that your hormones stimulate it.
Shampoo everyday but don't condition your roots, only condition the ends. Keeping your hair down also can help. Also, using a dry shampoo can be amazing for your hair!
You really can't. The oil comes from your scalp similar to oily skin and pores. I wash mine every other day. You can try dry shampoo. They dry powder is Suppose to suck up some of that oil.
Try the no shampoo method sure it'll take a while for you to see results, but the end result is worth it, or you could use dry shampoo, and don't wash your hair everyday
Try washing your pillow more. Heck I'm lucky if I can go one day without greasy hair. The woman's secret is that they usually wash it almost everyday. Good luck with your problem.
They wash and strighten their hair every day. It's got to do with genetics and age as well, your hair is generally greasier as you hit puberty.
I used to have oily hair and somehow it vanished (the oil, not the hair lol). I didn't actually do anything special to it 🤔 I guess it goes with time? Don't really know
Use dry shampoo? It helps to absorb the oil on your scalp.
Don't wash your hair everyday. It's kind of like if you wash your face too much, you end up breaking out more.
Ask a hairstylist. There has to be a product out there that can cure what ails you.
Their secret is genetics. Having thick hair helps too. So you can't do anything about it, but dry schampoo really helps hiding it.
They don't eat shit. What you eat shows up on your hair and face. Shampoo won't help.
They probably shampoo and condition their hair everyday. Oily hair is natural.

If you've tried it?Cut it. Otherwise there will always be some form of oil. Unless you have dry scalp
Try using Suave shampoo. That helped me when I was a teenager.
Use a clarifying shampoo once a week.
