Working out = soooo great for your heart, but rough on your hair.
Here are 4 ways to make your workout healthier for your hair and scalp:
💪 Repeating too-tight styles can cause damage, breakage, and even traction alopecia. Instead, cycle between hairstyles to give your scalp a break. Try loose braids, a messy bun, or a low side ponytail.
🧘 Easy does it. Choose strand-safe accessories made from bamboo, satin or microfiber, and save metal accessories and elastics for your rest day.
🚿 Cleanse well — sweat, salt, and bacteria will clog follicles, so make sure you’re using a shampoo that will thoroughly clarify for your scalp’s sake.
🏋️♂️ Wet hair (even sweat-soaked) is vulnerable hair. Stock your workout bag with a hair towel and a wet brush, and if you decide to use a dryer, always pick the coolest setting so you don’t continue to sweat.
