Working Out
First let me say that I love your website. Thank you for sharing your
journey with hair. I’m getting ready for my wedding in the Dominican
Republic on June 5th, so I’ve been working out pretty regularly. As a
result, I find the blowout I get at the Dominican Salon every other
week doesn’t last the same.
I was reading an entry from one of your readers name
Khyristina and I could really relate to her issues with having a thick
multi-ethnic texture of hair. I’ve been washing it every other week
and letting it air dry but its not the best for work. I saw that you
have been rinsing your hair after workouts. Do you dry it? Any tips
for maintaining it in between visits? I think I will break down and
get a relaxer too, but I don’t want to use too much heat with blow
drying between visits.
Any suggestions would be great!
First, congrats on your upcoming wedding! I love to hear about weddings and new babies 
Now, on the hair…let me tell you that working out is a blessing/curse! Yes, it’s great for your heart and I feel great after an intense kick-boxing class, but my hair looks like crap! There are a couple of women who take classes with me and they don’t sweat. You hear me?! No. Sweat!
I start getting beads of sweat as soon as I walk into the class. Oh well.
Anyway, the rinsing after class keeps my scalp fresh, but I really don’t have time to dry my hair. The last few weeks, I have been putting my hair in a french roll and just let it out to go to work, then rinse in the evening. It looks decent, but it’s not the same as having sway from a freshly done blowout 
So, to be honest…when it comes to maintaining gym-hair, I haven’t found a way to keep my blowouts AND workout. You can bet your wedding bouquet that I’ll be posting the answer when I find it
