If you have even a little time left and you can quickly wash the front and sides of your hair then go ahead and do it in the sink. These are the areas which majorly result in making your hair look oily. Don't forget to follow up with a little conditioner and then blow dry. We bet it will make your hair look like it has just been washed.

Baby Powder

Baby powder is quite an old trick that a lot of girls still swear by on unwashed hair days. And, not to lie but it still works for many of us. Apply some baby powder to the roots of your hair to give it a bouncy effect and it will also help in absorbing the extra oil from your hair and scalp. Don't forget to massage the baby powder well in your hair to get rid of the white residue in your hair. You want to remove the grease and not rock the salt and pepper look on the streets.
