Sweaty after the gym

cowash

I wash my hair everyday, gym or not. There's nothing wrong with my hair...

I think if you are sweaty and smelly, just take a shower. You'll feel and smell better.

Oddly enough, I can answer this question since I used to have a really long beard Use shampoo that doesn't have harsh chemicals in it. The fewer chemicals the better.

i would wash it. i hate sweaty oily hair, and that is how mine gets if i don't wash it everyday. but im not sure when they talk about not washing it if they mean washing it with shampoo or just getting it wet. could you just rinse it out with water?

I wash my hair everyday. The only exception is if happen to stay home for the day. Then it doesn't matter.

Rinse your hair with water. I wash my hair 2-3x a week and don't have smelly hair You can also use a dry shampoo to help absorb the oil....

My hairdresser said the same thing then I told him how much I go to the gym and he was like you are going to find it hard and gross!!!

You should still not wash it every day but after the gym you don't have much of a choice! on the days you don't go to the gym try not to wash it!

I have to wash mine, its so thin and shorter that it just looks gross!

When you wash your hair though try to use luke warm water. My hairdresser(s) have told me the colder the water the less damage it does to your skull!

I know this sounds weird, but I haven't shampoo'd my hair in over 3 yrs. So, after the gym, I hop in the shower and do a scalp massage under running water.

My hairdresser and I actually work out at the same gym togehter. He sees how much I sweat and says its okay to wash hair every day I work out with a non-harsh shampoo but try and not to wash on off days. It also helps that I wash my hair at night and let it air dry so it doesn't get hit with excessive heat too much.

I read an article about how shampoo's mess up the natural pH of your scalp. The science in the article made sense. So, I stopped shampoo'ing. For the first 6 months, I had some TERRIBLE hair days (made bad hair days look like a walk in the park).

When I originally stopped shampooing, I would use a baking soda/water scrub once every 2 weeks or so, to help my scalp get back to the correct pH. But the baking soda/water scrub is harsh on your hair.... it always feels gritty. Between the baking soda/water applications, I would periodically use a 10% apple cider vinegar solution to rinse my hair. That's 1 oz apple cider vinegar + 9 oz water. But after a while, I don't even need to do that. If my hair feels REALLY grimey (every 3 weeks or so), I do an apple cider vinegar solution rinse. Once every 10-14 days, I use some watered down conditioner, just to smooth the ends of my hair.

Go google "no shampoo".. You'll have to sift through the spray on dry-shampoo items, but you'll find the articles. Here's a link to a good one that explains the science. http://www.naturemoms.com/no-shampoo-alternative.html

Even after a shower, when I wet my hair, it is still smelly. I will try the dry shampoo

I have to wash my hair everyday because it gets oily if not.
There are different hair types, if you have oily hair you should wash regularly, if your hair is dry then you can skip days. It's really different from person to person.

An alternative choice is the shampoo that is no water. You brush it in. My hair is thick and is all the way down to my waist, so washing it every day is out of the question. It takes about 6-7 hrs just to dry all the way thru to my scalp! I wash mine every other day, and if I get all sweaty, I let it dry, and use the brush in shampoo. Works for me, and my hair is healthy.
