How to maintain your hairstyle whilst working out


Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and a healthy hair regime at the same time isn’t always easy. Scheduling hair-washing days, and styling your hair around gym classes can feel like an impossible task but it can be done.

Even in your short hair era there are styling options that make sure your tresses are kept in the best condition post-workout. When exercising with a bob or short hair it can be tempting to wear a headscarf to keep your hair at bay, however, a headscarf can leave your Afro, curly or coily hair flat, and in a sweaty mess post-workout.

Instead, tying your hair up in a top bun can be a functional way of styling your hair during a workout. It keeps your hair out of your face and helps maintain the volume you achieved with the silk press.

However, it’s important to choose your tie carefully. Too tight and thin and the tie can leave kinks in your hair that will stay for the rest of the day. The hairband could also cause the hair to break when taking it out. Instead, opt for stretchy, silk or satin ties to reduce the need for having to re-straighten hair after your exercise class or run. Should you need to give your tresses the once-over after exercise, Noma Sana’s straighteners make it easy and are kinder to fine hair than the majority of straighteners available. The adjustable temperature gauge gives you more control over the amount of heat you use on your hair, and the comb attachment enables you to straighten your hair in less than half the time.
