Do you wash your hair after every workout?

Ok now it really gets creepy. This morning I asked myself the exact same thing and I wanted to post it tonight.
I also have very curly hair and it's also pretty long. I used to wash it 2 times per week, so it won't dry out. Also it takes usually 2 hours until my hair is washed, styled and dry again.

Ladies, I don't work for this company, but it is like MAGIC.
Theres a no suds cleanser called Purely Perfect that is the best thing to ever happen to my wavy/curly/long/regularly dyed hair. I wash with the cleanser 2-3 times a week then use their leave in conditioner. I air dry and my hair looks better than it ever did before.
On the days I feel especially gnarly after the gym I just get in the shower and wash up and just let my hair get wet, no washing. Then a little of the leave in when I get out. It is never tangled anymore, which is a miracle.

Sometimes after the gym I don't shower at all, I just wet and blow out my bangs. The sweat on the rest of my head can just remain lol. Which is a little gross, DEAL WITH IT.

I use the Suave dry shampoo and it works really well.

I'm trying baking soda instead of shampoo right now and rinse with cider vinegar. It is working well so far (a week in) . this is what I am trying http://www.wikihow.com/Wash-Your-Hair-Without-Shampoo after someone on punkdomestics commented on it.

I do not! I have learned that the less you wash your hair the less you need to wash it. I hate washing my hair so the less I wash it the happier I am. It's not so much the washing as the blowing dry. I hate it! Your hair will actually learn to produce less oil after time but to begin with dry shampoo is the way to go. I think most brands are fine, I use Tresemme. The trick is how you use it. Spray it on at the roots and then let it sit for about 5 minutes. Next rub it in like you are shampooing your hair until the white powderiness goes away and then style as usual. I try to go a few days between washing and always need to use dry shampoo on the last day. You could always just rinse your hair and use conditioner on just the ends to get rid of tangles. I have to use conditioner on my hair or I cannot brush it after it is wet. It's very fine.

Absolutely!!!!! Sometimes twice a day. If I worked out 3 times a day, I'd do it again.

I will rinse it, then spray in a little leave-in conditioner and style. I wash it every 2-3 days.

I usually work out before my shower, I wash my hair once a day. It's a rare weekend when I skip a washing. If I don't, my scalp feels tingly and I feel disgusting.

This exactly

Me too! And I only condition once a week!!

I wash my hair after every workout. I'm usually dripping wet and my hair is also dripping. I always use conditioner and a mild shampoo.

I will say when I had long hair, I would wash it every other day. I am not a super sweaty person even when I work out hard, so if it was greasy the next day, I would just put it in a pony tail or a bun.

Now that I chopped my hair into a pixie cut- I have to wash it everyday. My hair tends to be on the oilier side, so if I don't wash it, it looks disgusting by the end of the day. I have tried using a dry shampoo and in a pinch it works (i have used the treseme one)

If you can get away with washing it every other day and it doesn't bother you- than try that. If not, than keep on doing what your doing but do a deep conditioning treatment once a week to help with the dryness. I will day I used a shampoo/conditioner combo from L'oreal Total Repair 5. I also bought the deep conditioning treatment and my hair has never been so soft and shiny- even with washing it everyday!

For working out in the gym or doing road mileage, yes.

For doing tai chi or yoga (especially yin yoga) I often don't need to shampoo my hair but now that it's short I often rinse through it whether I shampoo it or not.

I wash my hair every morning before work and every evening after I work out. I have thick, fine hair and I have to wash it or it's disgusting. I use shampoo and a rinse out conditioner in the morning and shampoo and a leave in conditioner in the evening.

I normally wash my hair after every workout. I have really curly hair and it just frizzs and looks horrible if it isn't controlled - I thought a workout last week didn't warrent a full wash so I left it.. ya... I wasn't looking so good at the end of the day. Ha! I've never tried dry shampoo - maybe something to look into.

I just got my hair done twice in one week (first time I got a lot of highlights that I hated and had to go somewhere else to get my hair redone), but basically the first set of highlights really dried out my hair! Luckily I don't sweat a lot (although I haven't been working out a lot lately either), but I have thinner hair so usually I get only a day before my hair looks oily. However, I'm really trying to cut back on washing my hair as often just so I don't straighten it as often. I'm using a reconstructing shampoo and conditioner that really seems to be helping (Joico Kpak incase anyone is wondering), a leave in conditioner (it's a 10 w/keratin), and I'm just trying to let my hair air dry before I straighten it. On the days when I try to not wash it, I use dove's dry shampoo and sometimes I also wash my bangs (if I feel like they need it).

If you haven't already, I'd try out some dry shampoos. Personally, I like Dove, but we have different hair types so there could be a better one out there for you! And if you're really worried about your hair, is there anything you could do to sweat less? Not that I'm suggesting to scale down your workouts too much or anything like that!
