i work out about 4 days a week and i do spinning and Yoga so i definately work up a sweat. i usually dont touch my hair after the gym but after 2 days my hair gets sticky and dry so i end up having to wash my hair. if and only when i wear a puff or braids i can go longer but puff for me is so hard to detangle

Um…a spray bottle, leave-in, and some oil. Most of the time I just rub my head with oil while it’s still sweaty, but if I had to go somewhere I’d spritz with water, add some condish and seal with a light oil. Sweat isn’t evil, you know.

Some of us don’t just work out for exercise, we literally work outside in all kinds of weather. Winter is easy because I cover my hair. But the summer wind dries my hair out terribly even when covered with a bandana. I know several other outdoor curly girls who would appreciate your help.

Any tips for those of us who do have TWAs?! I just started working out and am concerned about preventing dryness!

I either just put my hair up in a big poofy bun OR most recently, I’ve bought a couple of Loc Socs that are great for the gym! I lift weights, I box, I do a number of cardio classes as well as Spin so its impossible for me not to work up a sweat. I’ve found the trick is to either just LEAVE MY HAIR ALONE after leaving the gym so it will just go back into its “initial” pre-gym state OR before leaving the gym I will spritz in a little moisturizing something, seal it with some type of oil and do a quick diffuse and scrunch and I’m good to go. There are lots of options out there for those who really serious about getting their workout on. I’m just sayin’
