Pre-Gym:
1. Do you apply anything (moisturizer, leave in, etc) before working out? I don't apply anything to my hair when working out unless I'm swimming. When I swim I coat my hair in a serum to help keep the chlorine out of my hair.
2. How do you wear your hair? In a high bun.
3. Do you tie up hair? If so, with what (satin, silk, cotton cloth, etc)? Certain exercises require me to get on the floor, so I tie a silk scarf around my head. If I'm doing something that has no floorwork then I just fold the silk scarf into a "headband" and tie it around my roots to keep my roots flat.
Post-Gym:
1. What's your process (prods you apply)? I work out 4x a week, but I don't wash/rinse my hair after every workout.
During the warm months when I swim 2x a week, I wash 1x with Elucence Moisture Acidifying Shampoo to chelate and remove the chlorine, 1x with Hair One (Olive Oil) to restore a bit more of the moisture. Then apply Tresemme Naturals conditioner, put a shower cap on and a scarf and drive home which takes me about 30 minutes (I consider this my mini DC). Apply my leave-ins and then airdry/bun or do a braidout/twist out.
During the cooler months when I don't swim, I DC and co-wash midweek. I apply Tresemme Naturals conditioner, put on a shower cap and work out for about 45 mins to an hr which steams my hair really well. Then I rinse in the shower, apply my leave-ins and then airdry/bun or do a braidout/twist out.
2. How do you wear your hair? Usually buns, braidouts/twistouts or flexirod sets.
