An easy way to prevent your hair from looking sticky is dabbing the sweat off. Our scalp tends to sweat a lot more than our bodies. Keep a tissue paper or sweat-absorbing napkin handy.

There are days when you hit the gym or try an online aerobics class and don't feel like tying up your hair. However, let us tell you that keeping your hair open as your workout is harmful. It can damage your hair, lead to hair breakage. Also, keeping your hair in tight buns and ponytails can lead to hair fall. The solution here is going for a comfortable hairdo that doesn't hurt you and also keeps your tresses off the face. A loose braid or bun can work well. Braids look neat and give you a simple yet stylish look. On the other hand, buns are easy to make and super comfortable.

Don't Workout In The Sun

Working out in the sun will make you sweat more and you may eventually burn more calories but this won't be great for your hair. Direct sunlight can damage your hair and make them frizzy. Also, if you have hair colour on then the sun rays can damage it too. Sunscreen for your hair too is available these days and if you are working out in the sun, make sure you apply it to prevent your hair from damage.

After an intense workout, we all feel like washing our hair but doing it everyday can make your hair dry and frizzy. Washing your hair every alternate day with a mild shampoo is safe. You should also follow with a conditioner to keep your tresses healthy and smooth.

It is monsoon season and another great hair tip for you is to not workout with wet hair. Even if you have to workout, make sure you dab the water or skip it. Sweat and moisture can further make your hair look greasy and lead to itchiness and irritation. This can further lead to hair issues like dandruff.
