So I've been getting up every morning and working out before work and then again about an hour before bed. I can't go to work smelling like I just crawled out of the gym and I'm not going to climb into bed and sleep in my sweat (gross!!). I'm a little concerned on the possible damage I've been doing to my hair from shampooing and conditioning it twice a day. I have naturally straight LONG LONG hair (which also means I'm concerned about my wallet) that I can't manage with just water alone. Any suggestions.

    Coconut extra virgin oil.
    At night rub coconut all over your hair and scalp and tie a dry towel or old tshirt around your head/hair and go to sleep.

    In the morning wash = amazing hair.

    Good Decision. Clearly, I'm in support of the razor.

    It's also amazing for the skin. After you shower, rub this oil all over before towel drying and while you are still wet. Air dry = amazing skin.

    My hair is my nineteenth best feature. I wash and condition it twice a day on most days, but I am also sure to moisturize it and revitalize it.

    Those kinds of things that you don't want in your refrigerator because they are fatty, like mayonnaise and egg yolks, is fantastic for your hair in a "once in a while" conditioning.

    A healthy diet heavy in omega-3 fatty acids [salmon, tuna, walnuts, almonds, flax seed oil] will help your hair shine. Also make sure to get a fair dosage of your B vitamins and folic acid [add some onions to your diet].

    Make sure you know the ingredients of your shampoos and conditioners. I avoid paraffins and inorganic compounds.

    Pull your hair up in a bun and don't get it wet during your showers. It will take some getting used to, but it's possible. Your hair should only be washed every other day. Doing it every day will damage your hair.

    If I didn't sweat this would be an option..... but my hair is usually already drenched.

    Probably would make sense to do it the night before a rest day since I wouldn't be getting up in the morning to workout. Love the idea though
    Don't work out twice a day.

    It works for me this way

    Tie your hair up before your evening shower, and only wash it on the mornings? You'll probably need to start switching your pillowcases more often though. It would be a shame to save your hair only to hurt your facial skin :)

    Just rinse it and throw in some conditioner. I did that when I was working out 2x a day and I do it now because if I wash every day my hair falls out.

    Unless you want to do that for the rest of your life

    Yes, this. I only wash my hair once or twice a week, even if I'm doing activities like Bikram yoga where I sweat a lot. It's fine.
