Haven't we all been there...workout or save my hair style? This is a question that goes through many African American women's minds. And quite frankly, I sill battle with this decision. You just washed your natural hair, detangled and freshly twisted. You just received a fresh relaxer or flat iron style. The hours and high dollars we spend on hair maintenance is paralyzing. From personal experience, a touch up relaxer costs me ~ 75.00 USD-120.00 USD for medium/long length hair. I spend a minimum of 4 hours washing, detangling, drying, and styling my hair. Should I let all of that hard work and money go to waste for a workout?
Of course, you should! A healthy body breeds healthy hair. We should not ignore our bodies to protect our hair. And believe me, I know it's hard! There are many health conditions that do not work in African Americans' favor...e.g. hypertension, diabetes, etc. Fitness (and diet) play a large role in prevention from these and other medical conditions.
So what can we do to help salvage what's left of our style from a sweaty workout? Check out the tips below. Stay FABULOUS!
Tips:
1. Try Wash 'N Go's
2. Use Dry Shampoo
3. Rock your ponytail
4. Try a chic sweatband
5. Wrap your hair
