How can you reduce the shine in hair?

I have naturally black hair that is VERY shiny.

I mean TOO shiny.

When I go out into the sun, it looks grey / oddly shiny.

As a child, my doctor told me that I have a rare hair color that is pure black, unlike extreme dark browns that people have (which appear as black).

I don't want to dye my hair. What can I do?!

Only use conditioner on the very tips of your hair, and avoid moisturizing shampoos. Product dulls hair, but avoid anything that claims to increase shine. Air-dried hair is also shinier, so blow-dry when you can. You can use baby powder to soak up grease on your roots, but since your hair's so black, you might want to try a special hair powder that is dyed darker; I think Bumble and Bumble has a formula.

BTW, there are girls out their envious of your hair. That's why manufactureres make so many shine-enhancing products :)
