EXERCISE, NATURAL HAIR AND HAIR GROWTH- 4 Valuable Tips
Hey guys! In this blog post I will discuss
exercise, natural hair and hair growth.
Exercise is very important when it comes to
promoting hair growth and preventing hair loss. Many people overlook the
correlation between exercise and healthy hair growth. I will discuss how
important this correlation really is. I
will also discuss how to manage our hair while exercising so that we won’t let
our hairstyles prevent us from being active and healthy.
Exercise and hair growth. Are you hitting
the gym to lose weight or just to get a lot healthier? This is awesome but did
you know that exercise may increase hair growth rates? Many people who exercise
on a regular basis may experience faster hair growth which is an amazing benefit. This happens because exercising increases
blood flow to the scalp and hair follicles. The added blood flow provides much
needed nutrients and oxygen to the hair root causing faster hair growth.
1. Hairstyles and Exercising. So you go to the hair salon and get that
super cute silk press and Lord knows that you don’t wanna sweat it out! You
decide to take a few weeks off from your workouts so that you can be sure to
get your money’s worth. Decisions …Decisions!!! If you are sincerely dedicated
to living a healthy lifestyle, you can definitely look cute and wear hairstyles
conducive to that healthy lifestyle. We
shouldn’t let our hair prevent us from exercising and being in optimal health.
There are many hairstyles that we can wear while keeping up with our fitness
goals. Buns, braids, two strand twists and a wide array of protective styles can
be worn while exercising. We can definitely
get our workout in and still look super cute.
Sooooo…….what do you do with that super cute silk press? Try putting
your hair in a tight bun with a cute headband. Wait until your hair totally
dries to remove the bun and try pin curling it that night for heatless bouncy
curls the next day. This really works J.

2. Sweaty hair issues! If you are working out
regularly and sweat profusely, you may need to cleanse your hair in between
workouts. If this is the case for you, try co-washing during the week as needed.
As mentioned previously, co-washing is rinsing your hair with water and
conditioner. If you shampoo and deep condition weekly and you are working out
daily, you may want to co-wash your hair 1-2 times during the week to rinse out
the sweat, salt and any buildup that may be present. This will keep your hair
and scalp very healthy. It is totally not necessary to shampoo after each and
every workout. This will cause dryness which is what you definitely want to
avoid. Try conditioner washing with the Hydratherma Naturals Moisture Boosting Deep Conditioning Treatment or the Amino Plus Protein Deep Conditioning Treatment. Just wet your hair and apply the deep treatments. Let it sit on your hair for up to 15 min and rinse.

3. Try oil rinses. This is another option for those
who exercise daily. The method is super easy.
After your sweaty workout, just wet your hair to rinse out the salt and
sweat. Then apply a small amount of oil
to your hair and scalp. Massage and rinse. Your hair will be very soft and well
lubricated. This is one of my favorite
ways to refresh my hair after a workout.
If you decide to do this method in the shower, be careful not to fall.
The oil will make the shower floor super slippery J

4. Swimming and hair damage. If possible, it is best to seek out a salt
water pool because it is chlorine free which is healthier for your hair and
body. If this is not an option, be sure to protect your hair while swimming in
a chlorinated pool. Chlorine can be very
damaging to the hair and can cause breakage and severe damage. If you protect your hair, you can easily
avoid the damage and breakage that chlorine can bring. A great way to protect
the hair while swimming is to wet your hair first and then apply oil to the
hair before placing on the swim cap. Just think of the hair as being a sponge.
If you place a dry sponge in the pool, it will absorb a lot of chlorine. If the
sponge is already wet before placing it in the pool, it will absorb very little
chlorine. Wetting your hair is like
placing a wet sponge in the pool. Minimal chlorine will be absorbed and applying
oil will further protect the strands. I swim almost weekly and this is the
method that I personally use to prevent damage. This method works like a charm
and I have not experienced any breakage.

Proper cleansing after swimming. After
swimming, be sure to cleanse your hair appropriately to be sure that the
chlorine is removed. This is extremely important because you do not want for
the chlorine to be left in your hair. This will definitely cause breakage. If
you wet your hair and apply oil to your hair before swimming, chlorine
absorption should be minimal. The small amount of chlorine left should be
easily removed.
