Found this little article on BlackVoices…I know that it will definitely help those who get their work out on Owwwww…lol…Enjoy
Most women I know have issues with their hair after working out — save those with braids or a very short cut (think Amber Rose). Those with perms, weaves, wigs and even locs complain that the heat, combined with the sweat and having to essentially redo your hair each time you work out, is an issue. Celebrity stylist Caprice Green gives us five ways to keep our hair fresh while working out, including products she swears by!
Caprice Green: These tips are not surefire, but they will assist you in maintaining a decent style at least until your next salon appointment. Ready?
1. PONYTAIL, PONYTAIL, PONYTAIL!Don’t be afraid to pull your hair back into a ponytail.This will discourage your hair from curling up at the roots. It’s easier to smooth out the crinkle from the ponytail holder than it is to smooth out your entire hair at the roots.
2. WRAP, WRAP, WRAP!After your workout, before you shower, wrap your hair and top it with your favorite silk scarf. This will smooth out any hair that may have gotten a little damp during your workout.
3. Only Use Heat If Absolutely Necessary. If your hair is not the type to cooperate, be sure to mist hair with a nontacky thermal protectant prior to whipping out your flat iron. My favorite right now is CHI Thermal Protectant because it is essentially weightless. Excessive heat use breaks down the bond in your hair and will eventually result in breakage. If your edges are still being unruly, my go-to product is HICKS TRANSFORMATIONS Smooth Edges. When used sparingly, only on edges (hairline), the result will look like you just got a fresh relaxer! Love it!
