This is how to keep your hair dry while exercising, 4 fantastic tips, if I may say so myself

When I once worked at Beau Monde in another life, Leco thought I should have my hair blow-dried by a professional once a week. The fact that I a. had no time and b. no money for that, he waved off the table. Such a weekly visit to the hairdresser and having great hair would ultimately do my career and wallet good, he thought. By the way, I think he might actually be right about that. “How is that supposed to work with exercising?” was my last point of defense. “Exercising?” Leco scoffed. I just shouldn’t do it. Sweating and smelling, that didn’t suit a Beau Monde girl.

In the meantime, I exercise a lot and often, and I believe Leco is fine with that now. But that hair, that remains a thing. So here are the tips to keep your hair as dry as possible while exercising.

1. The good old sweatband

Extremely Olivia Newton John and Jane Fonda back in the eighties, I know, but it really helps if the first drops are caught immediately and don’t seep into the rest of your hair. Whether it helps you is the question, but hey, the gym is generally not the place where you look your best.

2. Dry shampoo

It really seems to work if you treat your hair with dry shampoo before you go exercising. It absorbs the moisture.

3. The bun

Tie your hair up. As high and tight as possible.

4. Don’t exercise

That’s also an option, you know. Your hair will really stay dry from that.

And by the way, these are the best brushes from Leco, or whether you exercise or not.
