Anybody here has twists or braids and works out a lot?

[Beerus]

Yeah I got a high top but I'm thinking of getting the hair twisted or dreadlocked... do you guys find its an issue having that and having to work out tho?

I been working out at the same time I'm growing my hair out so I'd like to know too.
But based on the amount of Athletes with dreads/twist I'd think it wouldn't be an issue.

i used to have braids. the only problems are that they can smell, loosen up, or if you are tender headed

i'm natural but wear weaves n such all which require some form of twists or braids while I workout....my suggestions:

1. wear your hair in some kind of ponytail with a headband or durag...this helps catch sweat and keeps the hairstyle tight and less frazzled/mussed up

2. if your length is too short then a simple headband and/or durag will do

3. buy a nice blow dryer with a diffuser attachment (sounds a lil but will really help you out) the diffuser is made to dry curly/natural hair at the root without adding too much heat damage and it doesn't mess up the style. This will eliminate nasty stinky hair and scalp

4. read up on cleansing rinses for natural hair...normally distilled water with essential oils like tea tree and/or clary sage with some apple cider vinegar are good ways to treat your scalp and hair and to refresh it in between actual wash and style days

5. don't apply too much grease or other hair products as it will only cause buildup and stinky hair while you sweat all over it

I have braids right now; the only issues I run into is a sweaty scalp.

I'll generally rinse my scalp after working out with a mixture of distilled water + a little bit of tea tree oil. It does the job.

If you have starter locs look at dry shampoos because if you get them wet they may untwist.
