How to Wash Hair Less When Working Out | Post Workout Hair Care Tips for Sweaty Hair & Oily Hair

[@AbbeyYung]

Sweaty workouts are basically the one time of the week when my rule about wearing the hair in protective styles is put to the side... while the tight ponies and buns aren't great for long periods of time, I feel this actually helps prevents future breakage for me more- because then I don't have to wash as often! But with that said... video all about hair breakage coming soon! Stay tuned 🥰

[@brookeelle6879]

You should do like a 7 day vlog showing your hair and how you style and treat it on each day after wash day. I think that would be super helpful, because I’m still lost without actually seeing what you mean

[@AbbeyYung]

It’s on my list of videos to make!

[@raindroprampage1678]

Still waiting on this video!!

When my hair was highlighted blond like yours, I could easily extend my washes to every 4-5 days (without training!). The bleaching process dries out the hair and adds volume. But as soon as I went back to my natural colour, my hair became limp and greasy so quickly. I spent four months trying to train it, only washing it twice a week and trying to extend it even longer, but I saw no results. My hair would look wet by day 3, and dry shampoo could only cover up so much. The most I can go is every 3 days now. I don't think washing once a week is for every hair type. If I ever go back to blonde though, I'll definitely be washing it less.

[@gianny1457]

I second this!

[@K8D678]

SAME. Blonde always drier and brunette not so much lol.

[@charlyburmeister]

Same

[@fadedxdreamer0]

I also plan my workouts around my hair 😅 I have to talk it out with my boyfriend too. We train in our garage and he sweats so much, making the garage even hotter and I hate sweating because of my hair!

[@AbbeyYung]

Hahaha I love it 😂

[@wenchee123]

How do you wear your hair while sleeping?

[@AbbeyYung]

In a low loose braid or twist 😊

[@LucyBird]

The absolute best tip to apply dry shampoo before a workout!!! Can't believe I never thought of that. Tried it today and it worked great. Another added benefit is sometimes I would get a whiff of it which is always nice to smell something pleasant during a workout. Have you reviewed the Bumble and Bumble post-workout dry shampoo? That is what I currently have and would love to hear your thoughts on it.

[@lorenamercado409]

Yes do the video about dry shampoo I haven’t found one I like yet 🥺

[@dadamahe]

Thanks for all your wisdom! To be honest my issue is sunscreen. With all the reapplications throughout the it inevitably gets in my hair. Almost impossible at the hairline to avoid the “buildup”. IDk, I’d really LOVE to get to a once a week wash but I just haven’t figured out a way to avoid the yuck feeling of the sunscreen. Any suggestions?

[@AbbeyYung]

Totally get this! If I get sunscreen in my hairline I use a microfiber towel with micellar water to try to remove some! But like you said some of it is inevitable 😫

[@keyzaalmanza6971]

This was helpful. Thank you! If you could upload a hair progression through a regular week, that'd be great :).

[@AbbeyYung]

So glad! Definitely will do this 😊

[@curlygurlxo]

I've had suchhhhh trouble with this to the point my hair has been shedding and breaking off and I'm fairly certain it's from the sweat because I went to the doctor and all my lab work was fine and I eat really healthy, the only change has been exercising 6 days a week. I also have thick curly hair which further complicates things because I feel it's a waste to wash every day, plus my hair is too dry for that anyways. I think the sweaty scalp is what's causing my hair to become damaged though but it's hard to avoid unless I just stop working out, or start washing every day. Looking for tips, so thank you

[@ashleyturner3000]

I am trying to wash my hair less and was watching all your other videos about hair washing last night, was wondering about how you deal with it when working out a lot! perfect timing!! 🤩

[@AbbeyYung]

Read your mind!!

[@ladyexpenses7279]

Thank you! I blow dry the sweat in🤪and then sprinkle a little corn starch, that does the trick for me

[@nina-xw6ku]

Great tips!! I always wear a shower cap when showering and if I’ve gotten too sweaty depending on the area I will pull my bangs out and shampoo them no conditioner and or a tiny bit of shampoo at the base of my neck up under the shower cap and rise out . I don’t blow dry when I do this . I wash my hair on wed and sun 😊

[@spinfan1]

Can dry shampoos be used every day? I workout 5 days a week.

[@jkalous100]

I use a makeup brush to apply my dry shampoo power (arrow root powder) and then brush it through. I also apply it at night to get it extra worked in by morning. It works great!

[@bonnieanderson429]

Just curious if you have ever used corn starch instead of dry shampoo? I use it all the time and it works well to help absorb the oils. AND it’s economical. What are your thoughts on this?

[@AbbeyYung]

I haven’t! It’s a common ingredient in dry shampoo powders so I don’t see any reason why it would be a problem!

[@Donna-cc1kt]

Whoa that’s a new one for me! I use cornstarch in my shoes if I’m going without a sock or nylon. I’ll try your idea the day I shampoo In case my scalp won’t accept it. Thank you!

[@catalinarandle6420]

Oh Ouai wave spray on not freshly clean hair 🙌🏼🤗 thanks for the tip Abbey 🥰 I have that one so will use it on dirtier hair . I also heard it can be used on the roots to give volume 🤷‍♀️ I love the way you do your hair buns ☺️ how about a tutorial on that 😉? Few hair styles you use often ... 🙏

[@AbbeyYung]

I will absolutely include this in a future styling video 😊

[@CodiAB86]

Thank you! 3 weeks in to this journey from a super oily scalp and your videos have been life changing for my hair. It feels/looks so much better!

[@KL-tg9jz]

I’m here for a dry shampoo video!! I’m SO sensitive to fragrance, can’t stand the powdery feel, want it as natural as possible and I’m not willing to buy a ton to find the perfect one only to waste the others. So far the Not Your Mother’s unscented is my favorite.

[@AbbeyYung]

On my list! I totally get that

[@ashleylaurenhavanec4202]

Not your mother's unscented is the best hands down.

[@brandifuller6735]

i looooove dry shampoo powder! more eco-friendly packaging and i feel like it does a better job absorbing oil (i have fine blonde hair). bumble and bumble powder dry shampoo is *chefs kiss*

[@melissakirk8001]

I also plan everything around wash day lol I like bumble and bumble post work out dry shampoo mist. It's anazing!!!!

[@stephaniesandoval9827]

Living proof has the best dry shampoo!

[@suzinaccache]

Obsessed with your channel xx can I ask what part of the US you're from as love your accent xx

[@AbbeyYung]

Thank you! Basically as far north as you can get... MN gal 😅

[@rosannabules5681]

Yes to a dry shampoo comparison video! 😁

[@augustinecoulter3839]

Do you have any new/more recent tips for sweaty gym hair? Also any tips for a sensitive scalp? One of my biggest struggles atm

[@naomi503]

I hate dry shampoo but the bumble and bumble is *chef kiss, is so lightweight and i have dark hair for reference Highly recommend ❤️🙌🏻

[@feliciajohnson8944]

Yes one of my faves! It’s so lightweight, doesn’t feel heavy or build up at all

[@AbbeyYung]

I’ve heard great things!

[@muiawat]

Anyone use a jawclip while running ? I’m finding the weight of my lengths annoying .

[@user-tv4hg5ii8u]

I need a routine without dry shampoo,

[@mjl3753]

Wish this would work for me but I have atopic dermatitis even on my scalp I have to shower after every workout and even sometimes every day depending on how much the air dehydrates my scalp to put moisture and hydration back into it and seal it with a scalp oil

[@AbbeyYung]

Completely understand that! Tending to that is more important

[@moev29]

Have you tried Briogeo products? I feel like you’d like their moisture products but I ask specifically because I have altar fine, oily hair and I’ve tried a ton of dry shampoos. their dry shampoo is the first one I’ve found that I really like

[@Donna-cc1kt]

Ohhhh, thanks, I’ll look into that!💕

[@LaVaneBea]

I love the content, and you have great tips. I think this one is a bit of a miss in that sometimes, too little washing is just counter productive. Having a constant itchy scalp and loads of build up can end up being just as bad. As far as product, love the powder idea. Sprays are drying and lead to buildup. cornstarch works great too.

[@ladyexpenses7279]

I love your hair pulled back like this! Your eyes really pop!

[@AbbeyYung]

Thank you 😊♥️

[@roselynmvm]

Everything sounds great…BUT…all of these products seem kind of expensive (texturizer, powder dry shampoo, etc), and also a daily process to maintain. Honestly I think it would be much easier, and might even look better, to just wash your hair twice a week. Seems like less work, and more affordable, Lol. Also, none of these tackles one of the biggest problems with dirty hair: bad smell. In my experience , most hair products don’t really mask that well this issue. Hair starts to smell really bad probably around day 4-5, and by day 6-7, flies would be going around the head, Lol. I just honestly can’t comprehend how anyone can survive waiting 7 days to wash their hair unless is someone that doesn’t sweat at all. Kudos to all of you that are able to, but I don’t think most people are in this category 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@sherryg1838]

I can’t use dry shampoo because of the fragrance, I’m allergic. I wash every other day. After a workout, on a non wash day, I wash my bangs only. I have my hair up in the shower, and I rinse the hair above the back of my neck, where I sweat. That’s how I manage it. Thanks for the tips on how to wear the hair in a workout!

[@dr.niharikanath1111]

Even I can't use dry shampoo I use to lose hair's like crazy 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@veronicavalenzuela1957]

Loved your tips! One thing I used to do for really sweaty workouts (I haven't done them in over a month because I got COVID and I'm still recovering) is to rinse my hair off with water and put a tiny bit of conditioner on my ends to moisture it up a bit, rinsing it off later of course. I do this mainly because I sweat a lot and I couldn't survive the week without rinsing out the sweat, and with sweat comes smell so that's a no-no.

[@sqkoi]

such a good tip! just washing your hair and giving it a scrub without shampoo is such an underrated practice

[@peytonmaddox5283]

Omg I wish you’d do an update of this!

[@kimkjrulff1731]

Omg Girl … Breathe and slow Down ,your stressing me out With the super fast speaking with No breaks 😅😅😅😮

[@JungkookwifeN]

Will this work if you have Piercing? I workout every day and I shower and wash my hair every day, but I know for sure that will cause problems, but that's the only way from keeping the infection away from my piercings. They got infected so bad, so I have to be super clean. Will the dry shampoo work or it might cause problems and infection... Have Piercings and working out is a struggle!

[@emilyhill7622]

Ok why?!?! I was literally thinking today, does she not workout?? Like how does she deal with her hair?? And here you are answering my mind questions. Haha

[@AbbeyYung]

hahaha. She works out!!!!

[@HSisodia]

😍❤❤❤

[@debiduttamandal]

Can i wash my everyday after workout

[@A_Girl_named_nick]

Can you do an updated video on this. I crossfit 5 times a week, sometimes twice a day and by the end of day 3. The frizz in my hair is insane. I just started using K18 shampoo and their conditioner *i wash my hair once a week and WOWWWW after 3 uses, my hair looks way better. But the frizz comes back after day 3 or 4

[@yenniavendano9360]

Abbey this video!!! (Chefs kiss*). Thank you! Will be trying the remedy spray!

[@AbbeyYung]

😍 yayyy I’m so glad you loved

[@marcelavelasco6971]

Found your channel last week & I love it 🥰 thank you

[@jillianmaloney3544]

Thanks for doing this video! I also struggle with hair that gets greasy fast and for the past year or so I finally have been able to go without washing so often, but haven’t figured out factoring in workouts in the best way. Let me just say I am amazed at how many baby hairs have come back in from ditching former bad habits and washing less. I had no idea I had so much breakage. 🤯 It takes quite awhile they are still growing in after switching my pillow, less tight styles and scrunchies and silk pillowcase too.

[@SheLovesFubu]

I have been putting dry shampoo and the blow drying with low heat and it has been working great. I do have thicker hair though so the cool setting was not working for me.

[@Donna-cc1kt]

Bio ionic hair dryer - 250 to300$. Ahhh, no thank you. I’d like to see a different range of blow dryer, something in between the bio and the Conair please.

[@rachelhightops5261]

Immediately going to buy extra long hair ties and hosiery ties.

[@AbbeyYung]

I hope you love them!

[@gugapilar7446]

Maassa este video! Te desejo toda sorte com o canal! Continue postando os videos! Obs.: Não quero te incomodar, porem se houver um tempo para ir em meu canal e dar um feedback sobre meus vídeos (#gugapilar), agradeço muito! Um abraço e fica com Deus! 🙏🏼

[@chagoot1024]

I found a recipe for DIY dry shampoo on the Internet that just used cornstarch (they used optional baking soda--I didn't and it was fine). They suggest using some kind of brown-colored spice for brown or red hair, and unsweetened cocoa powder for darker hair. I was shocked at how well it worked, and for pennies! I have two cans of dry shampoo I bought before finding this, and I haven't even bothered using them yet. Thank you for this video. It was needed by so many!!

[@sabrinamandell4611]

Great video!! I’ve heard great things about the pret powder dry shampoo from bumble bumble. Been using batiste here and there but not sure if it’s that great for my hair too.

[@AbbeyYung]

Batiste works great! So many dry shampoo are pretty much the same thing...

[@xcrnner1218]

Bumble and Bumble has a workout dry shampoo

[@AbbeyYung]

And a spray! The spray has a high alcohol content though so not my favorite for daily use

[@raquiab19]

Can I do high intensity workouts in a jaw clip? Which is less damaging to work out in ? A jaw clip or a tight bun?

[@TammyTammy797]

💛💛💛 I would love for you to test out dry shampoos💛💛💛

[@ziziboss7299]

My tip is that, pls don't play with ur hair and don't touch ur hair that r near scalp it makes it sooooo oily and awful

[@TatumBorealis]

You probably can't really soften your water but they do have some cool shower head attachments!! Think brita for ur hair haha

[@ZizYoubizHERE]

idk the sweat makes my scalp feel soft the days after until I wash it lol. is it still bad?

[@robby7025]

Im a man.

[@jessicacampbell1903]

Have you used a product that helps grow hair for those who suffer from thin hair loss from hormone damage? Have you used a product (vegan and toxin-free)?

[@ModernClassicLifeStyle]

Have you discussed hair maintenance for outdoor workouts, like running or walking? I walk or run 5-8 miles every other day and I wear a hat to keep sun from fading and damaging my hair. Any tips for that? I am for sure sweaty underneath afterward. I do let it dry then apply dry shampoo afterward, but I will try your dry shampoo before idea. Loving your videos, recommended you to my hair stylists and she is telling all her clients. Thank you!!

[@reabrooke7744]

ur the most underrated youtuber, idk how u dont have 5m+ subs lol ur so smart and helpful and GREAT at explanations

[@Kudos2Ewe]

I don't know how to do anything but a low pony, but this video was so informative that I'm determined to learn! 🤣 Thanks!!

[@peachysquirrely]

What do you think about Trader Joe’s dry shampoo?

[@Marjooooo]

An immediate like for this video! I've been searching so long for tips on how to wash my hair less frequently but didn't know how to incorporate them because I work out 5 to 6 times a week and get swaety hair. Thank you so much!

[@AbbeyYung]

Of course! I’m so glad to help

[@cheesetoastee]

Yup. I'm only half way through the video, but I'm already with you because I use those extra large hair elastics. I double it to start with, meaning I start with the elastic already as if it were wrapped twice around my hair, but I put it like that on my hand before I put it on my hair and then I treat the 2 layers as if they were one single hair tie. They last much longer than regular hair elastics and don't stretch out of shape nearly as easily and they hold my high ponytail or high bun in place all day long. My work day is a workout itself because I have a highly physical job and I don't just sit inside all day

[@fadedxdreamer0]

For sweaty days, how do you ensure that the hairstyles aren’t pulling your hair out? A receding hairline\hair loss are big fears of mine. But I work out 6 days a week 😭

[@MsTraviesa26]

I'm ash blonde. Pureology dry shampoo..love it. 🥰

[@jennylindblom2146]

Great tips, so many of them I´ve never thought of!

[@melodythompson7755]

Stop sweating by washing hair with vinegar, use white, or use apple cidar.

[@Donna-cc1kt]

Doesn’t stop it but it calms the scalp- well, for me😉

[@parusudi1]

You are spot on. Thank you ❤

[@stephanied6711]

I stink at braiding my hair

[@barbied0ll88]

Definitely do a video on dry shampoo 🙂

[@izzybee2705]

I am not convinced. No hard feelings Girls

[@kelcie7609]

How do you avoid the terrible hair crease from high buns after putting it up? Towards the end of my wash cycle this is always a nightmare

[@abbycastillejos7642]

Love this needed to hear this

[@jgsardo6867]

Clever video. I usually do some type of updo towards the end of week before washing so I usually fit the sweatier sesh's in then. 😊 Love your content!💕

[@AbbeyYung]

Adjusting the workout schedule to the hair I love it! Thank you I’m so so glad ♥️

[@ervinsmoviecorner8748]

Awesome job, Abbey!❤️❤️

[@AbbeyYung]

Thank you!

You're welcome, Abbey!

[@swamp7child]

So helpful.

[@Italianqueen1966]

Good advice; especially the last part! Thank you

[@AbbeyYung]

Of course 😊

[@isobel5175]

Love these tips! Something I feel after working out is just that I want to shower my hair with water, not shampooing but just water. Now If you have hard water this is probably bad, but if you dont just a quick cold to lukewarm rinse makes me feel like im not dirty, you could probably have filtered water from a cup or something that you can just rinse the hair with

[@carolinaferreira9585]

I know what you mean but I heard that one of the problems with washing hair too frequently is the fact that the root never gets to fully dry which is also damaging, not sure if its true tho

[@elizabethevelyn7125]

Your makeup is on point in this video! Definitely interested in a dry shampoo video btw

[@abbyglawe7821]

Loving watching your videos!! FYI I went to get #20 and it’s actually linked to the blow out product instead of the texture spray.

[@fkoff0407]

Omg almost went crazy looking for this video. I'm working out 5 times a week now and needed this video. Ty for posting.

[@rottenDeathmoth_]

i only exercise on wash day 🤘😈

[@vivianrw7421]

Health before beauty. Once a week to exercise is totally inadequate.
