[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know AAs can't wash their hair that often or it will get dry. What do you do about working out and getting sweaty?[/quote]
I work out 5 days a week. I'm a man so I will let someone else answer that. It's quite complicated. [/quote]
Black woman here. I work out regularly. I wear my hair "natural", and wet/condition it every day. I only use shampoo once or twice a week. But black women who wear their hair relaxed may have a different routine. Some black women don't work out or swim very often specifically because they don't want to deal with the hair impact. Most of the black women I see at my gym have either natural hair or wigs.[/quote]

I'm also natural, I wash my hair 5 days a week and deep condition it once a week.[/quote]

I'm a black woman who relaxes her hair. When I work out, my hair gets damp, but not wet. It also doesn't smell when it dries (due to moisturizers, etc in my hair). Working out does present a challenge though because you can easily sweat your perm out. [/quote]

I did not know this. I'm a white woman and cancer survivor with an interest in public health, and find it distressing that people won't exercise because of the impact on their hair. [/quote]

I didn't say won't exercise; I said it presents a challenge. [/quote]
