Oily forhead?/Greasy fringe..

Well my hair gets greasy quickly, in general, which is why I wash it daily. However, my fringe gets greesy REALLY quickly and i'm thinking it could be because my foreheads oily. The rest of my skin isnt too bad, but my forehead seems to get greesy fairly quickly so im guessing that this oil is being absorbed by my fringe, causing it to become greesy, within like 5-6 hours!

Has anyone got any tips on how I can help this? Perhaps a shampoo that will stop my hair becoming greesy so quickly? Or something for my forehead to stop the greesyness? I'm using a clearasil face wash at the moment which is designed to get rid of greese etc and it does for an hour or so after washing, but after that its no use.

All help is much appreciated, this is so annoying!
Put some talc powder on it before you go to sleep.

What moisturisor are you using after you wash your face with the clearasil stuff? If you don't already, use one that's designed for oily skin.. I use this one, it's pretty good:

Also, you could carry around with you some shine control papers to mop up the grease every couple of hours.

When I used to have a fringe I had the same problem, the rest of my hair used to be alright though so I washed all my hair in the evening then just my fringe again in the morning.

Could you not just pin your fringe back or to the side? You could also use those blotting wipes to soak up any excess moisture.

dont wash your face too much because your skin will produce more oil to compensate. also, have you considered clinique for men? the moisturiser there is really light and leaves a nice matt finish, and its made for men so its not girly or anything.
