Hair care during exercise

Earlier I used to oil & shampoo my hair twice a week. But ever since I've joined the gym, I am not able to take care of my hair. Resulting in massive hair loss. My oiling has reduced. But I end up wetting my hair everyday, due to the sweat that accumlates in them & then shampoo them once in 3-4 days. But without oil, my hair is not getting the nourishment.

I manage to oil it once on Friday (as I don't go to the gym) but I end up washing it in a matter of 3-4hrs, as we have to go out or so.

Can someone please help me????

What is your hair care routine?

PS: I hate going out of my house with oil in my head

Hello Ani,

This is a common problem for all of us, especially ladies with long hair.

Usually, after exercising, I apply oil to the hair before shampooing it (it really helps even if it is for just 10min and reduces the hair loss to a certain extent.)

Twice a week, I oil my hair and leave for 2hours before washing it.

Thanks Krithika.

Yes... I guess it's better than doing nothing, right?

The main culprit is the sweat which accumulates after you finish your workout in the gym.You must dry your hair after your gym session.Was your hair with a very mild shampoo if u must.

i have the same problem recently starting going to the gym and the biggest problem is that i sweat alot, my hair is total wet when am done. i did research and found that doing a co-wash helps, that rinsing the sweat out and applying conditioner, rinse then apply a leaving condition. also you could do a braid out or twist the hair in section this will give lovely curls over night...dats if you work out in the afternoons... i have attached a document with guideline for caring for your hair...its all information which i have collected from different web sites that have worked for me.. good luck JustAni

Cyndie thanks for attaching the doc, the info is really helpful.
