| Co wash a few times a week, wash every two weeks. |
| I have very curly hair (3c/4a) with highlights and I work out pretty hard 6 days/week. I shampoo/deep condition my hair once per week and I co-wash with a cleansing conditioner at least once a week (sometimes more if my hair gets drenched with sweat). I work out in the AM and always wear a sweat-wicking headband with my hair in a high ponytail. On the mornings that I do not wash or co-wash, I try to leave on the headband/ponytail until my hair dries. |
| Yes and yes |
This is not meant to be an insult - I am genuinely curious. How do you not smell bad? I'm assuming you work out almost every day because that's what OP asked, do you just not sweat a lot? Once I sweat, it's like all the bacteria on my body go bananas and start multiplying. I could probably go 3 days without showering if I just sat around the house, but once I sweat... Are you Asian with the gene for low BO? (That's not meant to be racist - there really is a gene that causes less BO, and it's predominantly in east Asian populations.) |
My curly hair is from a genetic condition I have(unique texture), and I can’t sweat due to this same condition so no I don’t “stink” as much as the average person. |
| It's "work out" and "every day," in your usage. Learn the difference between nouns, verbs and adjectives. |
I see your pretentiousness and raise you an Oxford comma. |
DP. I do NOT have a genetic condition that keeps me from being stinky. I'm white and plenty smelly. I have wavy/curly hair. I sweat tons. But if you co-wash (that's washing with conditioner) or just rinse really well, you are fine. If you didn't wash with conditioner at all your hair would indeed start to smell like a head that hadn't been washed. That is, a little warmer and softer smelling, if you know what I mean. But the actual BO from working out is rinsed away. And your hair smells like conditioner on co-wash days, and like head on non-co-wash days, if you choose to do that. |
Right on. The kookiest spinster weirdo profs I had were always English teachers. Bipolar and other weirdness among them. |
