How to care for hair after a workout and maintain its health

Remove sweat from your hair as soon as possible after your workout. This will help prevent the sweat from drying on your hair and potentially damaging it.

Gently wash your hair with a mild, sulfate-free shampoo to remove any remaining sweat and dirt.

Apply a conditioner to your hair to help hydrate and nourish it. Focus on the ends of your hair, which are more prone to damage.

Avoid using hot water when washing your hair after a workout. Hot water can strip your hair of its natural oils and make it more dry and brittle

Avoid brushing your hair while it is still wet, as this can cause damage. Instead, use a wide-tooth comb to gently detangle your hair.
