Hair care for athletes who train twice a day??

I've heard most stylists recommend washing one's hair every other day. However, I'm an athlete, so I often wash my hair twice a day, resulting in a great deal of frizz. What can I do to ensure healthy hair??

I was one as well and I remember how dry my hair used to get. But I'd have rather risked dry hair rather greasy smelly hair, or worse dandruff. =) Use the mildest shampoo you can find. Condition your hair after every shampoo, use an intensive conditioning formula (there's one by St. Ives for example) once a week. A hot oil treatment once in a while. There are also several brands of anti-frizz serums available.

It would also be brilliant if you can manage to get an aloe vera treatment for your hair. It soaks your hair in pure aloe vera extract for about half an hour before shampooing off. That would make your hair soooo shiny and feeling so healthy.

Hair care for athletes who train twice a day??

Hi! I run competitevely on my high school's XC and track teams, and we often get together for morning and evening workouts.

What I've found best is to take a shower at night, after running in the evening (so you're not gross for the morning) then french braid/braid my hair and wear it that way for morning practice. Then if you can shower just your body, the braids should still be okay, and your hair won't be too gross, and you can just keep it that way throughout the day.

I've tried washing my hair two times a day and it does not work!! It's horrible for it and dries it out--you're almost better of to deal with it being a little gross during the day (but the braids should help). Or you can put a little hair powder in it to soak up any sweat/oil from morning practice (never tried this but they sell at at beauty stores).

Hope this helps, and what sacrifices we athletes make :-)
