9 Ways Black Women Can Protect Their Natural Hair While Working Out

A pineapple is a good options for workouts because most of the ends of the hair are brought to the top of the head, keeping the hair along the face where the curls would normally get wet, away from the perspiration. "This style is protective in a sense because it moves the hair away from the moisture," Pekela noted. The key is not fussing over it while it's damp. This will only lead to frizz. "Never allow for your hair to dry from that perspiration not repositioned. If you're working out and sweat out your hair, you should reposition it by retwisting it with twisting creme; if not it could ruin the style," she added.
