Doing your hair after a morning or evening workout (ladies)

After a morning workout is easy because I just jump in the shower afterwards and to my thing to get ready for work.
When I worked out after work, I didn't care about my hair too much - came home showered, blow dried (no curling) and that was that.

This summer, I don't want to deal with my hair. I sweat too much on the scalp and keeping this hair looking decent during the hot, humid summer days is a losing battle. Braids are for me!

I usually will use dry shampoo and then do a ponytail depending on how much of a hurry I'm in lol

sounds like we have about the same hair type and i also only wash my hair every other day (every third day...eeek!) if i can help it. i have the headbands that are just cotton but about 2 in. wide. by the end of the workout i'm wearing them as a necklace - any suggestions on great headbands?

Bondibands rock! I must have an odd shaped head because most end up flinging off during a workout or like you, end up as a necklace. I've tried them all! Bondibands really do STAY IN PLACE! LOVE THEM!

You can get them online and usually can be found at merch booth area at big races.

I've got some elastic no-slip headbands. They're not fancy, i think I just picked them up at Target. I've also seen these, though I haven't tried them yet. They look cute, though!

Dry shampoo is AWESOME! On days I wash my hair, if I'm in a rush, this "surf spray" stuff by Bumble and Bumble gives my hair a beachy look so I can skip a full blow dry and straightening. I have long hair with thin strands so I rely on a lot of volume products. There is this stuff by Big Sexy Hair called Powder Play that I use for volume on second day and third day hair

Bump for more info about that dry shampoo...would it work for camping?

Dry shampoo is good for any time and any place. Just be sure to shake it well before you use it or your hair will go a little white. Also be sure to rub it in properly. You simply separate the hair and spray the shampoo onto the roots. Rub it into your scalp and comb through. If your hair is damp/sweaty try to dry it first. A much cheaper alternative to dry shampoo is talcolm powder but use sparingly as it can make your hair go white too! I tend to avoid it as I have dark hair, but if you're blonde you're on to a winner!

I sweat loads from my head so my hair is always drenched, I'm so envious of women who can get away with a quick spritz of dry shampoo after a workout! If I go to the gym in the morning pre work I have no choice but to wash my hair afterwards. Having said that, it's not too much of a chore as I have quite fine straight hair in a bob so it takes less than 10 mins blow drying, even with they gym's crappy hairdryer.

I used to wash my hair almost everyday, but recently I can't be bothered, I also hate the feeling of wet hair and don't use a hairdryer as I don't put heat on my hair (it's coloured so I try and minimise damage) .

So I put baby powder in it, acts as a dry shampoo if you have blonde hair like myself, I tried this when I had darker hair years ago and it just turns grey. It's cheaper this way and lasts for longer as I could go through a whole bottle of dry shampoo in a week.
Then I put it up into a bun with a hair doughnut thing and pin in place with bobby pins and hairspray (if it's the morning).

If it's the evening I just scrape it back in a pony tail and then do what I said previously in the morning before I go to work. Been working a charm!
