    I know allllll bout sweating in your hair! The nape of my neck gets really sweaty so fast! I personally wash my hair everytime I work out. Not only does it clean my hair but I feel better like I accomplished something. I kinda use the shower as motivation haha but also Dry Shampoos are fabulous..I find mine at walgreens and walmart really cheap and they work wonders..basically taking the excess grease out..Or just try a more mosturizing shampoo and do deep hair conditionings if you'd rather wash every time you excerise..Hope this helped!!

    Washing my hair every time I got a little sweaty would strip it of all it's natural conditioning (oils). I wash my hair every other day, and I don't wash it anymore than that. I like to think I have healthy hair. After a work out I just cool dry it. It's actually feels really good. I also recommend using a headband when you exercise if it is really bothersome, and always rock the pony tail.

    I wash my hair everyday after each workout (6 days a week) with whatever cheap shampoo I can get with a coupon (herbal essence at the moment). I wash all of it and I condition all of it. I then put a tiny bit of coconut oil on the tips while it's still damp. Most days, it's then put into a loose bun on the top of my head while damp. I don't have split ends (at least my hairdresser says I don't). Once or twice a week, they get put into large rollers with a little product and then heat styled with a low heat blow dryer.

    ETA: If I didn't wash it everyday, it would get clumpy oily. Thanks for that, Dad.

    Ponytails during exercise may help.

    I don't sweat much so I skip it sometimes. I use cornstarch to absorb oil and brush it out really well and put it up.

    My hair is too long. Ya it sweats a lot but i do no apply shampoo after every workout. And my hair fall is also reduced.

    The main factor is i am eating clean and healthy food everyday and also drinking 7-8 liters water in a day. So no chance of hair fall or damage. Its shining and getting stronger day by day. I don't think , sweat can cause any problem to our hair.

    No ... I wash every 2 - 4 days and the sweat doesn't really bother me! I have long curly hair and I find it actually looks better as the week improves :wink:

    I wash my hair only 3 times a week, but if it's a sweaty workout on a non wash day I rinse with water. I wear a bandana as a headband while I workout as it helps with the hair and with the glasses not wiggling as much.

    Wash and condition every morning and again at night. My hair is colored and highlighted with 40% peroxide. I also swim and am in the sun a lot. Blow dry and curl or straighten most days too. No damage, still super silky soft. It smells awful even if I don't work out. Sometimes I even shampoo twice. I've considered having oil rigs drilled on my scalp to supplement my income.

    Long hair is so irritating. I wash it every other or every third day and I always make sure my hardest, most sweaty workout is on wash days. It's a PITA. :grumble:

    This, but I need the length to weigh my hair down. Too bad my hair only got curly and big when I hit my 20s; it would have ROCKED in the 1980s.

    My hairs naturally curly and down to my waist when curly , i have to wash it every day and if i workout or im going out that night i have to wash it again or i just feel scummy.

    Dry shampoo is great for straight hair , but i would recommend a good deep moisturising shampoo and conditioner.
