Sweaty Hair/Head

[Novella]

I have recently rejoined the gym at work now my maternity leave is over. I'm enjoying it and have lost 3.3kg in less than two weeks . My only issue is I work at a decent intensity for my fitness level and sweat a lot, especially through my head so my hair gets really damp with sweat. Due to the gym opening time and when I start work I don't have time to wash and style my hair. Previously I had longer hair and could wash it and but it in a bun but now I have shorter hair I have to straighten it or I look horrendous.

I'm feeling a little gross not washing it before I start work, although it doesn't look too bad it feels wrong but I don't have time to wash it and refuse to let it be the reason I don't work out


Do you wash your hair after each workout or let it dry naturally? Any other suggestions?

Have you tried dry shampoo? It is really easy to use takes a few seconds to apply and leaves you feeling a bit fresher.

I have this problem too. I also have short hair that I need to straighten, so yesterday I bought a can of dry shampoo. I'm going to give it a go today, I'll let you know what it's like.

Wow!!! Definitely get some dry shampoo. I just went from greasy needs to be washed hair to fluffy and clean feeling. That's amazing. I used the batiste dry shampoo in a pink can.

I get really sweaty when working out too and as others have mentioned Dry Shampoo is great for perking up oily, sweaty lank looking hair. I bought the Lee Stafford Brand from Big W. I also use it when I cbf washing and re-styling/straightening my hair. Gives me at least another 3 days grace

Dry shampoo is the bomb!! That Batiste one is great!! Wil carry you over til you can wash it, makes it smell nice and absorbs all the greasiness!

Also - could you wear a head band thingy?? Not sure if it would help (acutally might be worse??) But also might absorb some of the sweat??
