While time, motivation and work stress might be common barriers to fitness, Black women face an additional obstacle: haircare. Writer Brenda Patrick has been exploring ways to get around the sweaty difficulties of exercising with afro hair.
So, I’ve been asking other Black women how they look after their hair during exercise to see if I’m missing a few tricks. These are the five hacks I tried on their recommendations. When you exercise, you sweat a lot. Sweat contains salt, which can make your hair dry. And as you know, dryness can equal damage.
Durags are my favourite option because they cover my entire hair as well as my hairline and keep them laid. Again, if you’ve got braids, you can just use a silk wrap around your hairline. But don’t tie it too tightly – you don’t want to damage your hair follicles.If you choose to keep your hair wrapped up, you should wait for it to dry before unwrapping it. You can use mild heat to dry up any moisture to prevent it from puffing up.
She recommends cornrows if you’re into intense exercise as they can just about withstand anything. “I wash mine as often as once a week and it still looks great after three weeks. Plus, I can always throw a wig on post-workout when it gets frizzy. Sometimes I’d use a durag to protect my hair and edges from sweat.”: “A pineapple is super easy. My hair can stay like that for lazy days and still rock.
