Why: Oily-haired readers know how hard it is for their hair to "hold a style, curl, crimp, spiral, etc." because of its the slippery nature. And they're calling this a "miracle worker." One reader raves, "Believe me when I say that NOTHING holds memory like this stuff." Another reader whose hair is "naturally fine and stick-straight" says this "allows [her] to style [her] hair and KEEP it styled all day." Despite it being "light" and "not sticky," it "works like a dream" to hold your hairstyle in place "incredibly well," even with oily hair. Agree? Disagree? Write your review here.

Oily skin is easy to deal with -- blot with some oil-blotting paper thingies, tap on some powder and voila! A shine-free face. (If controlling oil on your face still isn't that easy for you, check out these top products for keeping oily skin under control.) But what about oily hair? That's not nearly as easy to fix, right?

If you have oily hair, you most likely fall into one (or both) of these categories -- one: you're sick of seeing the words "for dry or damaged hair" on every bottle of shampoo you came across because they never apply to you, and two: you stay away from using any kind of hair product due to the fear of walking around with an oil slick on top of your head (god forbid your hair catches fire the next time you get too close to a flame).

Luckily, we're here to help. We asked our readers to share which products help keep their oily hair under control. They raved about everything from shampoos that got rid of oily build-up to thickening mousse that helped their thin, oily hair look fuller. Now you can actually style your oily hair without worrying about spontaneously combusting the second you step outside.

Want some simple tips? Use a clarifying shampoo once a week, carry around some hair powder for those midday oil invasions, and only use conditioner on your ends.
