Last workout before touchup

[GettingKinky]

Two times ago when I got my touch up I worked out that morning (Insanity) and my scalp burned like crazy and I only have it on for 10 minutes. Last time I got my touch up I wasn't working out and I didn't have any problems. Now I'm working out again and I'm wondering how many days before my touch up do I need to stop working out?

I've washed my hair the day before a touch up and had no problem. Perhaps you need to grease your scalp prior to the application. Good luck!

Yes maybe greasing your scalp first. I used to spray my scalp with oil sheen before I got a touch up and it really helped.

I've read that sweating opens your pores in your scalp and makes it burn more. Will grease help that?

I would think by the time you get to the salon, your pores should no longer be open. I would think you would have to work out and go right into the salon for that to happen. Your pores should not stay open hours on end.

Maybe there is salt on your scalp-- from sweat.

Last time I worked out that morning, and that's the first time I've ever had burning like that. It was awful!!! and I've been getting relaxers for >30 years.

Open pores are no joke! I self relax, and wouldn't you know it , I had night sweats. I thought I had gotten my pores closed and the moisture gone, but I was wrong. Worst burning EVER! I usually go 16-17 minutes. I barely made it to 12.

The only saving grace was that I was doing half and half - when I did the other half later no problem.

tenderheaded how much later did you do the other half?

Sorry not to get back earlier. After getting the" oh my goodness" burned out of me, I did the other half 4 days later. It was perfect - no burns!
