Weird question but do you wash your hair after exercise?

I use shampoo once every 5-10 days (more often in summer, less in winter.) On in between days I get it wet and either just run conditioner through it or sometimes wash it with conditioner. Kind of depends on how it's looking.

Every single day. I do cardio every day and if I sweat and let it dry, I get itchy skin. I'm worried about smelling bad or getting a skin infection. And, I have black hair (a lot of dry shampoos are some variation of white powder and show up in dark hair).

Also, dry shampoo leaves a lot of deposits in your hair that can clog the follicles. (No official studies below, but some actual clinicians are quoted in both.)

I use dry shampoo

I shampoo 2x a week but condition everyday. I have curly hair and I was also recommended to wash less often because of my hair and how dried out it gets. I get cut every 2-3 months and color 1x a month and my hair looks pretty damn healthy. No split ends, no dried out hair like you usually get with colored hair and I just use drugstore products (Pantene, etc). It takes some time to cut back on shampooing but I don't think there's anything wrong with rinsing tour hair after a workout and maybe conditioning. Maybe too, emit you dry shampoo, you need to find the right brand for your hair. Anyway, that's what I do.

I get so sweaty that I have to wash my hair. Right now I'm just running 5 days a week so the 2 rest days I do not wash my hair.

I only blow dry and use a hot iron once or twice a week. The other days I just wash and put in a bun. I think that helps slow down any damage.

I have long straight black hair.

I wash my hair every day & have done since I was 12 years old (I'm 43 now) & my hair is in beautiful condition, according to every hair dresser that's touched my hair - I rarely blow dry it, I never straighten it & I don't use products (only budget shampoo daily & budget conditioner twice a week).

I've been told & I'm living proof that shampooing your hair doesn't harm your hair, heat treatment (straightening & blow drying) is what damages it - also if you brush your hair when it's wet you're also increasing the risk of damaging it, I use a wide bristle brush & brush my hair very carefully when it's wet.

With regards to washing my hair after exercise, if I'm showering after exercise (I don't always after weight training - I strip wash because I always do my workout in the evening) I only wet my hair, but don't shampoo it, because I've already shampooed it in the morning, after my cycling session.

Incidentally I also leave the house with wet hair all year round (exercise, shower, breakfast leave for work & my hair isn't always dry by the time I'm setting off) & I haven't had a cold in the 13 years I've been with my husband - wet hair causing colds & shampooing too often are old wives tales told to us by our parents, who were told by their parents, who were told by their parents - they've been debunked many a times

Continue to shampoo after exercise if you want to, just reduce the amount of products & use less heat on your hair, you'll see a vast improvement in a short space of time.

I don't wash my hair everyday! My hair would look like a broom.

I "wash" my hair every day with cleansing conditioner, real shampoo on Wednesday and deep clean shampoo on Sunday.

Not all the time, my hair is sensitive to too much watching. Lifting doesn't make me so sweaty but cardio does. I skip a hair wash after cardio probably half the time.

Shampoo every day. It gets oily itchy and gross if I don't. I sweat like a beast every day while running so it's necessary for me.

I don't wash my hair everyday. I wash it maybe every 3-4 days. My hair does get sweaty I just let it air out. I don't use any products on it. By day 3 or 4 I usually wear my hair in a ponytail or bun.

I wash my hair every day. If I shower Morning and night, it is washed 2x a day. I swim in chlorine and color it and it's healthy. I couldn't even begin to feel clean without washing it.

I wash my hair on cardio days, so after runs and spin. On weights days I don't sweat anywhere near as much and just use a bit of dry shampoo. If I was my hair too much it gets really dry and frizzy. Plus, i hate doing it, such a chore.
