How to Maintain your Natural Hair When Working Out

Many naturalistas feel that exercising regularly could mean multiple bad hair days for them. However, this does not have to be the case.

Sure enough, exercising is great for our bodies, and it has even been shown to enhance hair growth. But with exercising comes sweat which dries up the hair easily resulting in possible breakage.

The good news is that you can bypass these effects by simply following through a proper hair routine after exercising. We have pointed out some tips on how you can go about this the best way.

1.Wear a protective hairstyle

This is probably the best thing you could do for your hair as you workout.

Keeping your hair in a protective style like knotless braids or faux locs and styling them into an up hairdo (careful not to make it too tight) keeps your ends tucked away and minimizes contact of your hair with your sweaty skin which in turn reduces any risks of damage.

Be sure to let your hair free after the workout to let your scalp breathe as well.

Follow these simple tips to have an easier time managing your hair as you work out, and remember…you are a GEM.
