    BUMP!! So funny you brought this up. I was thinking that i might cut a lot off of my hair. It is very thick, curly and to the middle of my back. I am drenched at the end of a workout and it takes me like 15-20 minutes to wash my hair while in the shower and probably another 5 just brushing it out after...............I don't really want to cut it, but all this exercise makes it gross and sweaty!!!!

    funny! I was thinking the same thing...love long hair, just not practical!

    I use Tresemme Fresh Start Dry Shampoo in between washings. I try to only wash my hair every other day. They also have a deoderizing spray for hair that makes it smell great. I use the spray, but they also have a foam for curly hari.

    I work out 4-6x a week and my hair is soaked with sweat. I usually just rinse it with warm water in the shower, and then spray leave-in conditioner in it after my PM workouts.

    I have to rinse it though... My hair is literally soaked with sweat.. if I left it alone and then used dry shampoo ... ugh, I shudder thinking of the results..

    Every other day. I do cardio one day and then weight training the next. I usually shower after cardio sessions as I sweat more than I do during weight training. I use shampoo and conditioner when I do shower. If I do need to shower once a day, I put a shower cap on to shield my hair if needed. :)

    I usually wash, blow dry and flat iron mine after the gym, wear a showercap the next morning, then i dont have to wash it in the morning at least. if i can get by though i will go with the dry shampoo after the gym. or there is always a ponytail!! summertime is coming, ponytails and buns look so nice!

    My hair is super oily, I have got to wash it every day or I become an oil slick :(

    I am so jealous of all of you who don't have to...I wish!

    ^this. I HAVE to wash my hair every single day. And if I work out, I will wash it a second time. I just don't feel clean if I shower and don't wash my hair.

    I am natural so in our world we do COLD wash meaning just using the conditioner this help get the sweat out without messing with the oil in your hair

    I wash mine everyday but I work out twice a day so by the end of the last workout it really needs it. If I notice that it is getting dry I do a deep conditioning treatment on Sunday.

    Like most everyone, I wash my hair every other day or if I get really sweaty, everyday. Usually, it drys my hair out if I wash it everyday. But if I am ever in a pinch where I don't have time to wash my hair and it is really oily, I use the old baby powder trick. And no one ever even knows :wink:

    I have color treated hair so I use Pureology shampoo and conditioner every other day. Even if I work out, I wet my hair to and massage my scalp in the shower but I don't wash it. Then when it is dry I use dry shampoo. BTW, I am a total oil slick. I've just started doing this over the last couple of months and it's worked out good. I don't think my hair looks as good with dry shampoo as it does when I wash it but it's good enough.

    ....Doesn't dry shampoo also remove natural oils
    yes it does I am a cosmetologist in other words I do hair and washing your hair a couple times of day does not have to be bad if you use the proper shampoo and conditioner I some times wash mine 3 times a day when i get up after working in the yard and after my work out my hair is down my back and very thick like I said it is all in how you take care of it . Just an opinion from a hairdresser

    My hair gets dry. When I'm hanging around the house and nobody cares I soak it in olive oil, tie it in a pony and let it sit for an hour. Shampoo really well.

    I usually wash every other day. If Im working out several days in a row I will just rinse all the sweat and funk out with water, it usually looks as good as fresh washed!
