I heard applying baby powder is good to get rid of oily hair, true or false?

True!!! I've done this multiple times! It does lighten your hair if you don't rub it in well. I also use to use this to lighten my slightly growing roots when I had blonde hair.

How should I apply the baby powder?

You just shake a little on your roots and brush until you can't see it and the oil is absorbed. If you have darker hair you can use baking cocoa powder too :)

Talc isn't too healthy if you inhale... I think it's actually carcinogenic like asbestos. So if you must sprinkle it on hair, please be careful. There are natural alternatives like tapioca powder, rice powder, cornstarch. Johnson's Lavender& chamomile is made from cornstarch. I'd avoid regular baby powder made with talc.

Rather than baby powder, use cornflour.

Have you tried dry shampoo? It's a spray that, like baby powder, absorbs excess oil and adds volume. All you do it spray it directly onto your roots! The best brand for me is Batiste; they have loads of different fragrances and even make them for coloured hair (as the normal one can make your hair a bit white). I started using it because I dye my hair red and washing it everyday makes the colour fade faster... I can't live without it now!!

I use batiste aswell. cant live without it. you can get it in supermarkets and chemists (in ireland) and they do a few different types. I use the one for brunettes, its a brown colour so doesnt lighten your roots too much but as always make sure its brushed in properly

I usually buy mine in Tesco, but other places like Boots and Superdrug sell it too. I'm sure you could buy it online as well, but I've never looked... As a tip, I use my brush to pick up a small amount of hair at the top (I find it easier with a round brush) and spray the roots from underneath. That way, if you overdo it, the white patch is underneath and it's a lot easier to blend it. Plus it give you more volume!!
