Working out and hair washing

I have this problem. Haven't found a solution yet though. If I don't wash it, it looks and feels dirty. If I do it turns mega frizzy because it's dry

Try using a shampoo without sulfates:

Or just a shampoo without sodium lauryl sulfate:

Trader Joes and The Body Shop also carry some good shampoos to try:

Or get a shampoo designed for sun+swin+gym type? I don't know if they work but worth a try?

Try Dry Shampoo for one of those washings.

I'm a hairdresser who also happens to have seriously dry hair. I can't shampoo my hair more than once every 3 days or so unless I want it to start breaking off, so after workouts I use TIGI Rockaholic Dirty Secret dry shampoo. It's a bit pricy and you have to get it at a salon, but it's well worth it. It's saved my hair since I started working out and getting my hair all sweaty every day. I would avoid baby powder and cornstarch as DIY dry shampoos just because they will make your hair look dull and possibly even greyish while they're in your hair.

You should not shampoo your hair daily and especially not twice a day. In addition to drying your hair, it removes a lot of sebum on your scalp and causes higher oil production.

It took a while for me to figure it out but this is basically my regimen:
- I shampoo my hair twice a week. A tip my hairdresser gave me was to shampoo twice during one shower to really clean my hair and remove excess oils.
- I use conditioner once a week on another day. Remember that you shouldn't condition your scalp.
- I use a hair mask/deep conditioner once a week on another day.
- Other than that, I just wash with water if needed.
- I use dry shampoo on days when my hair looks extra shiny.

washing with only conditioner (yes it does work!), not using sulphates or silicones, and using some form of oil (I like coconut) will help keep your moisture levels in tact. I would also try to avoid washing so regularly if you possibly can, or even just doing a cold water rinse on your scalp to remove sweat post-workout.

I have lot of experience with dry hair thanks to genetics, and have seen a lot of success with all of the above. I generally only wash my hair once, maybe twice a week. Thankfully I don't get soggy workout hair!

Just to add to everyone that's a fan of the moroccan oil product - get argan oil on ebay, much cheaper than the name branded stuff they're touting in salons, and exactly the same stuff! Loves a bargain I do!
