    Good shampoo won't do that to your hair. Invest in really good organic shampoo like Kevin Murphy - it's worth the price tag!

    I think dry shampoo is a good suggestion.

    I have really dry hair so I can go without washing my hair for a couple days. If I washed it every day it, would get really brittle and damaged. But working out makes it impossibly frizzy. So on days where I have to do my hair after working out, I use some styling cream and pin it back with a clip. On REALLY bad days, I use a ponytail and headband. It sucks, but I think working out is worth a couple bad hair days. :)

    Many have suggested dry shampoo but if you can also use baby powder - same price (if not cheaper) as the dry shampoo, just more of the product.

    I haven't read all of the responses, but I have thin hair that tends to get greasy when I don't wash it. I also sweat a LOT when working out. I have tried lots of different shampoos over the years, but I am currently using Lush solid shampoo (the Karma Komba one) and Lush American Dream conditioner. I LOVE it. It works well and doesn't dry out my hair or scalp, even when I'm showering twice a day (once in the AM and once after a workout).

    I make sure to rinse my hair out with water for a long time. If you want to try a dry shampoo, try the one THE ALL NIGHTER by "it's a Beautiful life.
