Exercising and greasy hair?

I also have that problem. The beautician told me to use conditioner only every other day. It gently cleans while not drying out your hair. It sort of works. I also want to try that new fructis dry shampoo I've seen on TV. I have high hopes for that, if it's not too expensive.

I wish I had enough hair to worry about this sort of problem.......hee hee......

I don't have this problem but don't use conditioner as often, change shampoo and consider buying dry shampoo. My husband has the greasy hair problem and he has to use a very drying shampoo to keep his hair from getting greasy over the next two days following shampooing.

Dry shampoo is the way to go. I have really greasy hair. And when it starts to look greasy again, give it a little massage and it will look better. It will still feel greasy though depending on how bad your hair is that day.

I use Pantene Pro V - the Nature Fusion "moisture balance"

I can wash my hair every day and use a straightener on the highest heat setting EVERY day without it drying out. (I used to think it was dry, but my stylist confirmed that my hair is actually very healthy)

Perhaps you could try this brand?

Dry shampoo is also an option. For me, it's easier to wash every day because the dry shampoo just makes my hair feel awful.

Good luck!

I found using a shampoo and conditioner combo made with moroccan oil was very hydrating which helps with hair getting oily in general. More moisture makes for less oil production, I also take zinc to help with my acne and it also worked for making my hair less greasy.

Dry shampoos left my hair horribly matted when I would wash it out the next day, I had to wash my hair 2-3 times the next morning to wash it all out and have nice hair. What I can recommend in place is to use a towel to pat your hair dry or if you can brush it out afterward you can scrub out some sweat using the towel, just as if you were towel drying your hair after a shower. It helps and is a very cheap solution and has worked for me in the past although I also made due with disposable towels to dry up some of the sweat too.

Hope you find a good solution!

if you have long hair, just do conditioner on the tips, not on the scalp.

There are some girls that I know that actually shower BEFORE they work out. They work out with their hair wet and it doesn't actually dry their hair too bad.

and i always thought that was SWEAT on the gym machines!

I use a spray on leave in conditioner after showering and before blow drying.

Baby powder will work just like dry shampoo.

^^ This should buy you a day of not washing and will absorb the oils in the hair. just make sure you brush it through reallyyyyy well after dusting baby powder on the roots.

I didn't even think of dry shampoo lol. I've heard it's terrible for your hair, but it does it's job! I ran out of it a few months ago so maybe I'll try this, thanks!

dry shampoo changed my life. haha. i became obsessed with finding the perfect one for my hair (black hair so didnt want white residue, thin hair so needed something light weight, oily scalp so needed something to really get rid of oil)

some of my favorites are:
batiste @ ulta for about $6.99
oscar blandi @ sephora/ulta for about $20 maybe
suave is also good but doesn't control oil as well
also TIGI dry shampoo is good

ETA: for those saying dry shampoo leave your hair matted, the trick is to spray directly on the roots, let dry one or two minutes, the brush out while running a warm blow dryer if possible. leaves my hair light and fluffy

I only use dry shampoo once in awhile. I think it dries my hair out too much.
Rinse and just a touch of conditioner on the top. I also use the Infusium Leave in Conditioner. Its not real heavy like some of the others.
