But not anymore because her hair regime works wonders.

The star buy is just $13, amply assisted by her novel zig-zag trick.

Tay (@junkyorange) looked delighted by her new-found bouncy locks.

She's tried lots of things but this method has proved to be the most effective.

“This is the only thing that worked for me," she said in her post.

Tay held out the magic elixir: "Glycolic acid.”

It works by moisturizing and exfoliating the scalp.

Since adopting it in her haircare routine, Tay can usually last a few days before it gets oily again.

“It actually works and is not crazy expensive," she said.

It is available from Amazon for just $13.

“My routine for hair that gets oily in one day and never has volume," she explained as she showed viewers her method step-by-step.

First, she carefully applied the glycolic acid to the roots of her hair and then massaged it in.

She left it in for 20 minutes and then washed it out using shampoo and a conditioner.

While it was drying, she introduced her clever tip: “Zig zag part until fully dried then back to your normal parting - for volume."

Once it was dried, it was mission accomplished. Her hair was bouncy and oil-free.

There was a lot of interest in her video, with over 82,000 reacting to it.

Some commenters were able to vouch for glycolic acid.

“I love glycolic acid. It’s the best thing for my dandruff," said one person.

A second person gave it the big thumb's up too: "Glycolic is good for your scalp. I’ve been using it on my hair for months and it’s so much healthier.”

And a third admitted they had been influenced: “I’m going to buy it right now. I can’t handle anymore my damn oily hair.”
