HOW I MAINTAIN MY HAIR WHILE WORKING OUT 

The definition in your arms is *chef’s kiss

Recently straightened my hair for the first time in 10 years. I was scared to work out so I searched and saw this video first. I tried this method. Bought two of those wraps and a wig cap, worked out at night, let it dry all night and unwrapped it this morning and my hair is still intact, roots still pressed and everything. Thank you for sharing! Worked like a charm.

Yes I like to workout 5 times a week and straighten my natural hair. I like to use a lululemon dry headband to keep my edges from touching any perspiration. It actually works unlike the cheaper $3-$5 headbands I would get on Amazon. And for my hair, I keep it twisted up with a big round plastic clip. So much better than fabric scrunchies which can trap moisture, and I never leave my hair down or even in a pony tail down my back since my back perspires. And when I leave the gym I don't take my hair down until I'm home and cooled off, then hit the roots with some warm air on the blow dryer just to dry out any hidden moisture

Just became a “straight natural” getting silk presses every two week, this was so so helpful and thorough!! Thank you!!!

Great tip: keep your hair wrapped while its still wet. I needed this!

I really would like to wear my natural hair straight, but with working out its hard. I've been looking for tips and tricks. Thanks for sharing!!

Nike hats do SUCH a great job of keeping the hair by your scalp flat/straight while you're working out! You'd never know that they'd work so well, but they're a blessing 😭🙌🏽

Just started getting a silk press about a month ago and used this technique. It definitely helped and was also helpful when it rained for like a straight week. My hair lasted about 10 days after the first press even with the rain. I also found it useful to flexi Rod my hair at night to keep the curls. Thank you!

Love the idea to wear a cap over your wrap to workout. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for smiling so much in this video, Have a great day!

I've thought about starting my straight hair natural journey but I was worried about the working out. You have now convinced me and I will be starting this month!!! I'm so excited!!!

I just started working out two weeks ago and also have a relaxer. I was getting frustrated with the way my hair looked post workout that I was going to cut down on my exercise. I’m happy I found your video and will definitely be incorporating these tips.

Thanks for sharing these tips! I will try them out since I’m going back to the gym.

Also, if anyone needs satin lined protection, Curl Cap has great hats and Grace Eleyae has beanies. Both black owned 🤗

Girl i did think you have a relaxer. Cudos to ur stylist. You r right that is my biggest issue with working out on a regular basis. Thank you so much for the great tips!! Loved them💕💕

Thank you so much for this video even a year later! I decided to intensify my workouts but the first thing I thought was.. my blowouts won’t last with more sweat🥴 thanks now I know to get Keratin treatments once a month! I am just like you, I don’t do wigs/weaves and barely braids so this is my only option.

But Sis., I sweat like a grown man when I work-out. 💁🏾‍♀️

Yes! No to scarfs and bonnets in public lol. Thank you for doing this video, I decided a long time ago to not let my hair dictate what activities I choose to do. It is a struggle but I still make it happen 💪🏽 I’m a curly natural

Well detailed AND visual. Thank you so much. I'm definitely going to follow all that you've shared. Much appreciated!!

I’m going to try this. First time getting a slim press in years. I’m a sweater and cardio lover. I’m trying on my next off day.

Amazing. PERIOD!!!! 💕😂 I've recently decided to become a heat trained natural and you're giving me a lot of hope, lol! You're hair is very nice + healthy!

The dry fit hats are a great suggestion. I'll have to experiment with this.

Ah! So that's what I'll need to incorporate during the spring and summer months--keratin treatments. I'm on schedule with you for the most part during the fall and winter months, but I keep my hair braided and under wigs in the spring/summer because it'd revert back in less than 7 days. Thanks for the major key, Babes!

Best workout hair video. Thank you!

Thanks for sharing ❣️Merry Christmas to your family! 🎄🎄

This was super helpful and an obvious solution that I should’ve thought about already lol

Shanna!!!! I hollered....scarfs and bonnets in public.🤣🤣 Hard no for me. Thank you for the tips. I needed this. By the way, love your channel.

Hey the intensity tips make sense 🤷🏾‍♀️ thanks sis

This information was amazing! Thank you!

I KNEW IT!!! Design Essentials products are the BEST!!

Thanks for sharing very informative I go hard in the gym and I was wondering the same thing great tips I will keep that in mind

Thank you for this video! Thoroughly enjoyed it, this is my first silk press as an adult 😊 100% with you on the public bonnet/scarf situation lol yeah no.

at the beauty salon and i’m watching this will try it tomorrow am.

Thanks for the tips.. Merry Christmas to you and your family❤

Really beautiful hair!

Such a beautiful and healthy hair 😮 thanks for sharing and merry Christmas 🎄

so so good! Thanks a lot for the tips 😁

These are some great tips. I love DE products. I actually order them at home as well. Been the biggest help when washing and maintaining my hair at home. ❤️

sooooooo glad I found this video and your channel :)

Thank you for this video 🙋🏾‍♀️

Girl your pony is luscious 🥰

Very helpful! Thank you

Thank you for this! Fresh perm after 3 years. Needed help lol😂

Your hair stylist does a great job with your hair but you also do an amazing job maintaining your healthy hair!

I love your hair and video. Beautiful healthy hair.

It’s the no scarf and bonnets in public for me!! I CAN’T and WON’T do it!! YES to letting your hair dry after a workout!! My silk press last pretty long too, up until my hair starts snowing 🥴… I typically pin curl because wrapping has never worked for me and my thick hair.

Thank you for this ❤️

Love your video!! Thanks

Merry Xmas! This video is very helpful 😊 Sad that many women of color don't workout because of their hair BUT like you and the suggestions you gave, we can do it 👍🏾 it's finding a method that works...like always...thanks for sharing 💕

Yaaas maaam thank you for this video cuz I was about to give up and just leave my hair curly lol

Great tips! Thanks

Agree about the bonnets but I am more open on the scarfs because I do see women going through medical treatments and those who have other issues wearing scarfs while working out. Really good tips and very pretty hair!

Merry Christmas to you and Sefton 💖💖💖

I can’t stand a bonnet & scarf in public either lol thanks for all the tips❤️

Hi HSM great video, I can’t seem to find the perm rod video to revive your curls.

Thanks for the tips just bought some dry fit hats x

Girl say it again...scarfs and bonnets in public is unacceptable 🤣🤣🤣

Helpful thank you!

Best one so far

That ponytail 😍

Thank you for this information.

Your hair is gorgeous by the way!!!😍😍

Thanks for the tips....new subbie...love your channel 😍❤️😍

Best video!! 👏🏼

Back again for the 3rd or 4th time. Love the tips and tricks and I needed to get the name of the ball caps. Since I have been getting dogged in the comments for wearing my scarf LOL!! When you know better, do better! Thanks Shanna

THANK YOU SO MUCH💕💪🏽

Great Video! Love the hair 😍

thanks for such an informative vid!! also youre stunning :)

Nvm I got it Perm rods, dri fit cap men's section, don't go as hard, mesh wraps, dri fit scarf and hat. Keep hair wrapped or tucked until it dries, let it air dry (blow dry) or wrap it up, let hair fall after wrap, ponytail with scrunchie and wrap mesh around it. Workout in evening is easier,

I was searching for this video and couldn’t find it lol. Thanks for sharing. I only press my hair 1-2x a year. I wear protective styles the rest of the year because I workout 5-6x a week as well. And I’m not willing to sacrifice my workouts or my hair 😂

Best hair on RU-vid!

Just ordered a wrap and hat cus I’m looking bustedddd right now after today’s workout and I just got my hair done yesterday!!!!💔😮‍💨😂

I clicked cus I was like okay her hair is beautifullllll

Yep!! This is it!!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽❤️

Thank you for this video!

Can you talk more about keratin treatments

You are lovely.Thank you for sharing theses tips.You have a positive attitude,I pray all the black women seeing this video, experience the satisfaction you have in being Beautiful and happy to be yourself!

Merry Christmas 🎄

Hello , I am new to your channel . Thank you for sharing . I found your video to be very helpful and I will try your techniques. Looking forward to workouts again.

Great tips👍

Excellent standards. No scarfs or bonnets in public. Why can't we be fit and have nice hair? Well, we can!Thank you for this PSA! More helpful than u know.

Thanks for the tips! Definitely a huge reason why don't go to the gym! I live in an area where there are not a lot of stylist for black women. can you talk about the keratin treatment a little more? Im curious to know how it works and what it does for natural textures!

Great tips!!!! I screamed about the scarf and bonnets comment. It’s so true. I have a student that comes to school with one on and I die inside every single time I see her with it! I’m still waiting patiently on that capsule wardrobe video, I know it’s coming because you keep your word. I have told my friends that you are like the woman I aspire to be so I’m always sharing your video. Merry Christmas to you and Sefton!

Mine too design essentials is great

Do you spray any hair refresher/hair perfume to keep it from smelling sweaty between salon visits? Also, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!🎄

Your hair is lovely. Do you get is straightened every two weeks?

When I got the Cleo struggle braids I GOTTA wear a scarf to the gym…it’s super big tho so it’s cute😂

Watched the whole video!

She is extra pretty!

Thank you for the tips, I wondered how your edges would stay straight while working out consistently but I never asked. I’m natural as well but my edges shrink really bad. I’m going to incorporate these tips and hopefully they’ll work for me. Merry Christmas 🎄

My relaxed hair gets so frizzy and looks dry after my workouts, what recommended products can I use to replenish the moisture bk in???

Hi. Thanks for the info. Where did you get the velcro and mesh wraps?

Hey! Great hair tips! I'm natural as well..and currently wearing it straight since the weather is cooler in TX. I am so intrigued by this keratin treatment.. would love to hear more! I wore a ponytail last night but I didn't have the other items you mentioned and can see the results in my edges lol will head to Sally's 🙈❤️ P.S. I share your sentiments on public scarf and bonnet sightings womp womp womp!

Hi... could you please tell us who’s your hairstylist?

I also have very thick long hair but girlllll after I work out my hair poofs back up like Micheal Jackson’s Afro in the 70’s 🤦🏽‍♀️and I have to go get braids or a sewin to keep my hair done

When I wore my hair longer I use to wrap it and eventually your hair just kind of conform to the wrap per se, your hair is like it knows it's routine lol.

I work out in the morning so I may invest in a hooded dryer so my hair can be ready for the day

I agree with you about the scarfs and bonnets it really gets under my skin, I really can’t stand seeing that. Thank you for your tips, I’m going to pick up a dri fit Nike cap and some of those hair wraps.

I don’t mind bonnets and scarfs in public. ( I feel like, they were originally made for public wear, and was made to seem taboo for yet another reason to shame black women and deem them “ghetto”) my mother and older sister however feel the same way you and didnt allow me to publicly wear them so now it’s ingrained in me lol I will instead wear it as a head wrap or wear some type of turban, but now I will invest in more baseball caps, thank you!

Lol we have three girls and no bonnets in public is one of our top rules lol 😂
