What to do with hair after I work out at work - please help!

baby powder or dry shampoo helps! sprinkle the powder near your roots, rub in with fingers, brush through, pull your hair up and put in a sock bun/pony tail, secure with a headband I live in South Carolina and during the summer you need to do this even without actually working out just to keep from washing your hair twice a day!!

Spraying children's detangler and blowing dry after will help. But i'd rub a couple of baby wipes over mine and put it up. Shoulder length hair is long enough for a french twist. Just anchor the heck out of it with bobby pins. Or, once it dries, tie a scarf over it ala Grace Kelly.

Hope this helps.

My new office has a treadmill in the basement. Just a treadmill, not a fitness center or anything. It's convenient and the best way to make sure I get in my cardio, so I started running on it a few times a week. My issue is, what to do about my hair afterwards? There's no shower, so no ability to actually wash my hair until I get home (which is too far away to go to during the day). I keep a hairdryer at work which helps, but my hair still looks limp and dirty even after I blow it dry. Does anyone have any tips or tricks on what I can do to help my hair after a workout? My hair is thick and shoulder-length.

1.) Hair dryer (to dry up the sweat...it's gross, but it is what it is)
2.) Dry shampoo (it actually works really well-especially if it's only part of the day)
3.) Braids. I braid my hair or do a messy bun...both of those hide a multitude of sins.

A large clip should hold as well. When I head out for a walk during lunch on the warmer days, that is what I used to do...up in a clip or ponytail for the afternoon! :-)

I just always pull mine in a ponytail or use a hairdryer...

Pony tail holders are a girls best friend and bobby pins. I twist the front (bangs) back and secure them with a couple pins then turn the rest of it into a cute pony tail, bun or french twist. You could also get super fancy and try to do a half up with a barratte. Barrattes and claw clips are good desk drawer staples too. If you feel like your hair might be too greasy to live with for the rest of the day, try a couple spritz of hair spray, but too much might add to the greasy/shine look.

I'd just use it at the end of the day before going home if that's an option.
I'm a sweaty beast, though, and there's no rejoining society after a workout until I get a shower.

My hairdresser suggested spraying in dry shampoo and then blow drying it out and brushing. Apparently it's supposed to blow all the grease away... Good luck with the lunchtime workouts! x

Dry shampoo.


But I don't know how people can get all sweaty and then get back into their work clothes for the rest of the work day.

I work out in our work's basement gym during lunch (the only time I really have during the week to workout), so I keep a small towel, baby wipes, deodorant and baby powder in my gym bag for use after I workout. It's not ideal, but I feel (and smell) much, much better than I would if I didn't. I also have underwear that I change into for my workouts.

I always pull my hair up in a ponytail when I work out, so it doesn't get really gross (I have long thick hair). But if it does, dry shampoo is the way to go. Tresemme dry shampoo is really good, plus they also make a refresher spray for use after dry shampoo.
