Natural Hair and the Gym

I have had Natural hair for a few years now and have alternated between two strand twist and braiding.

However, I have found that since I have changed my routine at the gym and included more cardio work, I sweat a lot more and my hair just isn't coping very well.

My hair quickly becomes dull, dry, frizzy and generally looking unkept.

I would welcome any suggestions on how to keep my hair looking groomed without having to alter my keep fit routine, or step up an already time consuming hair maintainance regime.

natural hair and the gym

Its a hassle but s/times I'll go to the gym first in morn and keep twists in but put in all up in a pony with a thick headband or bandana around head. my hair is somewhat long so even when all up I can make a bun with the tips using pins, then work out and take them out afterwards.

Also if Its the middle of the day at work, the night before I will put some extra hold gel, etc, in my twists, then take them out so they are more defined then work out with my hair out. I have found that when you just leave it alone and just neatly pin the front and sides back flat, your definition is still there but you may need to bring a curling iron (small) to fix up the edges. It works!!
