greasy hair
Unwashed, shiny locks
Hair that is oily, slick, or unwashed-looking.
Greasy hair results from natural scalp oils or infrequent washing, giving a limp, shiny appearance: I need to shower—my hair is getting greasy.
The term often carries mildly negative connotations, suggesting poor hygiene or an unkempt look.
