There are many excuses that one could make up in order to skip out on exercising; however, not having the right hairstyle should not be one of them. Follow these guidelines about which hairstyles to wear to the gym and how to maintain your hair afterwards!
Weave
With a weave, you can basically wear whichever hairstyle you fancy, preferably one that keeps your hair out of your face. Hair should be shampooed biweekly and you shouldn’t use hair oil on your weave. Try Elucence Moisture Benefits Shampoo ($6, curlmart.com) to keep your weave and your own hair clean.
