After so many months of figuring out how to solve this problem, (including using blotting papers and washing my fringe in the ladies room-last bit not recommended!) I've found a better, easier way.
I'm sure lots of people do this already, but the idea only came to me after I was attacked by my friends with a talcum powder bottle. (Birthday celebrations huh?) My hair was white, but not oily.
I'm not saying that you need to be attacked like that to get the non-oily result, what I use is a face powder, dusted on my hair to absorb oil.
Actually any talc powder will do, but since my skin is acne prone, I want to avoid anything that may clog my pores. You don't need expensive powder, I use the Silkygirl Silky White Magic face powder. The one that got Orked from the movie Mukhsin to advertise some years ago (Yes I still miss you Yasmin Ahmad. RIP)
Mine is in Pretty Pink (yay) and it's good enough to absorb the oil from my fringe and prevent it from looking too gross after sweeping across my oily forehead. Johnson's baby powder works fine too, whatever you prefer. I just stick to face powder to be safe. After dusting a bit here and there I comb through to even it out.
Hope that helps
