What is your hair care regimen? I have tried keeping my hair up in a ponytail so I don't have to keep heat in it (Curling irons, etc). Recently I cut my hair, thinking it would help. Now it is a worse dilema! I am a regular with a beautician and I get tired of her doing my hair and then it is a bushy mess by the end of the week (LOL)! Any suggestions? And this includes anyone with curly hair that can get untamable at times. What do you do to keep your hair in good shape after constantly working out? And a hair weave is not an option. Please don't suggest that. :)

If you have natural hair that's pressed straight like me: i know this sounds gross....but i promise it shouldn't weigh your hair down unless you have fine textured hair.....But add lots of hair grease to the base of your hair and all around the edges. Then pull a tight scarf around your head. This should help prevent sweating out your hairstyle.

If your hair is relaxed, definitely wash your hair after you exercise, the salt can be damaging and cause your hair to lose its sheen.

Or try braids.

Good luck with the search!

I use Beeswax, just alittle when styling keeps curls and fly-aways tamed.

i exercise with my hair down so it won't sweat because it will be airing out

I have the same problem. Except I don't go to the gym I exercise at home. I usually get individual's but like now, I don't have any braids so I just do my hair every two weeks. I do tie my hair down and put it back in a ponytail. But if you look at it, besides having braids, there is nothing else we could possibly do!

i used to use bees wax when my hair was natural but i use gel or jam now.

I used to run into the same problem.

However my hair has been natural now for over 10 years. There are so many natural styles..ie two strand twist and other low maintenance ones. My current personal trainer for example, wears her hair in tiny twists and it looks really nice.

I also get extension braids as there are so many beautiful styles available in braids.

I would suggest grabbing the latest copy of a braiding magazine and checking it out....
