Ok so I really want to go to the gym, but...

I have natural hair. I JUST got it washed, blow dried, and flat ironed over the weekend. LOL And it's looking so fab!!  A trip to the gym for me will instantly sweat my hair out and make it kinky again. Any suggestions??

Hugs and Blessings

Well since we can't avoid sweat. If it was me I would pull my hair up close to my crown and tie a scarf around my head. That should cool you down and keep your hair off your neck. Hope that was helpful tell me how it works out for you.

The high ponytail worked very well!!  I just left my hair in a tight ponytail until my hair dried.  Bumped it a bit with the flat iron and was on my way!!

Thanks

Girl, I'm natural and I wear it natural so I just wash and go lol. And living here in GA its been almost 90 degrees for the past week or so so we're sweating as soon as we step out the house! I don't know what you could do to not make the roots go back natural when you sweat though. But if you find out, do share .

I separate mine hair into ponytails, 6-8 with hair ties then put large rollers in the ends.  After my workout I thoroughly dry my scalp before unrolling and taking out the pony tail ties. 

Last I run a round brush blow dryer through my hair to smooth out the marks from the rollers and hair ties.  This only takes about 15 minutes and I am ready to head out.  If its evening, I leave it alone and undo my pony tail set in the morning
.   

Some folks find wrapping is sufficient but my scalp sweats way too much.  I need small sections for my hair to dry our quickly and stay smooth.
