a puff always

I wear braid-outs or twist-outs all the time. When I work out my hair pretty much stays looking the same. It just gets bigger. I cover it at night in a satin bonnet without rebraiding or retwisting. I co-wash my hair every two days and I shampoo on Fridays.

 

[darlingdiva]

I work out in my wig.

 

[Fine 4s]

My hair stays in twists...

I have a TWA, so it works out perfectly. It just shrinks, thats all, and I wet it all over again..

In a loose ponytail most of the time. I rarely sweat so it's not that big a deal to me.

However I wore my hair that day. If I'm working out when I just wake up, I just toss a bandanna on my nightly twists.

 

[LadyEuphoria007]

I'm in a puff, sometimes twists or a WnG.

I noticed that the "out" styles would just be a poof when I got done working out...that would lead me to a co-wash.

 

[tocktick]

I wear it in a puff. If I'm skipping, I'll tie it with a scarf.

In a bun.........

 

[DDTexlaxed]

My wash n go. My hair is not long enough to bun...yet. I'll get there soon, though.

I use my workout time to DC. So I'm usually wearing a plastic cap. Then I just rinse my hair afterward.

But, I'm thinking of joining a gym so I don't know how that will work out. It would be really uncouth to wear my scarf while working out.

Not really. I've never done it but I see people do it in the gym all the time. Even the white women. A lot of them wear it to absorb the sweat.

I usually work out straight from work so however my hair was that. If I had an usually different style, I always bring in my bag a squirt bottle of water, brush and a stocking to pull my hair in a puff or just headband it. Doesn't matter if it gets poofy because I cowash when I get home anyway.

I wear my hair straight in a press and curl and I work out 5 days a week with two day of body building. I am 53 and love my natural hair. Try sabino moisture block it works great for me and my hair is soooo nappy. I wear my hair back with a phoney pony (low) its a great slick look for work and play. People think I have a perm.

Same here....I workout at home, I have a treadmill.

in a loose puff

 

[Caramel Jewel]

I have a twa so mine is out and about when I'm coming from work...but on the weekend, when I do not do my hair, I'll just throw on a scarf (cotton) fold it in a triangle and tie it..You can find a lot of them in cool crazy colors at all the arts and crafts shops...

 

[ppp422]

Still interested....bump!

 

[Lucky's Mom]

My hair is twisted.... In a bun.

 

[FindingMe]

a loose puff with a nike headband to catch sweat. I'm good if my hair is off my neck.

 

[bride91501]

I'm PS'ing in a wig for now with cornrows underneath, but I REFUSE to work out in that wig- it gets too hot! lol

For the hour I'm working out, I just thug it with my cornrows and a scarf tied around my hairline to catch the sweat lol.

 

[cmw45]

I wear kinky twist or braids.

 

[lilliz6]

I wear my hair in a protective style and tie a black scarf around it or wear a thick cloth headband.

 

[detroitdiva]

I like to rock a puff pulled back with a scarf unless I have 2 strand twist in already. Then I'll just pin them up in an updo and tie it up in a scarf. When I take the look down, it makes a really cute style!

 

[femmemuscle]

Probably the easiest to have done - and maintain. Goddess braids. I believe they are also known as slave braids. i asked my beautician to part my hair down the middle and put one braid on each side.

these are very simple "under-hand" cornrows. She did it in l - 10 mins with extension hair. My mom used to do this when i was a kid.

It's maintained just like cornrows. Stays out of the way because my hair and the extenison hair is put in a small chignon at the very nape of the neck. This style can last up to 6 weeks.

It can be a "glamorous" hair style with accessories, plus it definitely shows off the face. My SO and friends feel it's a very practical-yet "cute" style. Me? I'm just happy to have enough hair and sides to have an up-do.

I've searched and found some good tips but...
I'm wondering how most naturals wear their hair when they work-out???

My hair is usually styled in 2-strand twists so when I work-out, I put the twists up into a ponytail; as of this past week, i'm wearing it in a bun until December so it'll be bunned when working-out.

It does get a lil' poofy at the roots but that's ok because I usually can smooth that down in place overnight with a lil' moisturizer and some CD's pomade, and wrap tight with my satin scarf.

 

[vainღ♥♡jane]

i'm wearing my hair in twists right now and it is great for my lifestyle. ♥

 

[southerncitygirl]

if wearing a wig i take it off and put my scarf on, if doing twistouts i let it be, if straight i pin it up and put on my scarf.

 

[SherylsTresses]

I work out almost everyday of the week. My hair is always in a braided bun. I tie a scarf on it and sometimes I put a cap on top of it.
