Refreshing Your Post-Workout Natural Hair: A Moisture-Rich Routine

/ 1864 Views

Hydration is Key:

To begin with, I use an applicator bottle filled with water and a moisturizing shampoo which I apply to my scalp before heading to the shower. But, I don’t rub the mix into my scalp instead I run the applicator tip along the length of my head. This helps maintain the moisture balance without over-cleansing.

The Handheld Showerhead Secret:

Second, I use a handheld showerhead with multiple water pressure settings to rinse out the mixture. The handheld gives me enough closeness to blast the shampoo mix out of my hair without using excessive force. This way, my hair gets cleaned without becoming dry.

Embrace the Power of Oils:

Afterward, I use another applicator bottle filled with different oils and massage them into my roots and strands. In the past, I shied away from oils, but then I realized my hair holds moisture longer when I apply oil and a cream leave-in conditioner. This simple addition made a world of difference in my post-workout hair care.

Sweat-Free and Itch-Free:

And that’s it. My routine for cleansing my hair and scalp after a workout. Although, this routine does not deep cleanse, it does a decent job of removing the sweat from my hair and scalp. Likewise, this routine keeps the sweat from causing an itchy scalp, and that’s all I need it to do until my scheduled wash day.
