I wanna go to the gym, but...

I saw a lot of ladies with scarves. I assume their hair is wrapped underneath.  This is what I did and it seemed to work

Tight high ponytail!!  Leave until dry.  Bump with the flat iron and go!!

Trying to keep straight hair and working out is a struggle but don't let it stop you from going to the gym. Slick your hair back in a ponytail, braid the ends, put on a head band to absorb the sweat and scarf over the headband to keep the hair in place.
I am natural now but use to have the same problem.
