DLers who work out every day

Rinse immediately in shower to get sweat and dirt out. Shampoo and condition as needed. Needs vary by hair type/thickness.

Also, you know you need a shampoo when your hair feels overly greasy to the point where you'd think it is holding dirt and smells. The oil on your hair themselves aren't bad, it's the dirt and impurities that gets stuck in that oil. That's why it's important to rinse instead of using shampoo to strip your hair of natural oils.

I am a sweaty betty, so I have to shampoo pretty much every time post gym otherwise my head stinks. I use a gentle, SLS-free brand, in the hopes it’s not too stripping. Even if I just wash with conditioner, when it dries, I can still smell the sweat.

If it’s a mediocre workout or my hair early fries on the way home, I can sometimes get away with using dry shampoo.

When my hair was longer, almost shoulder length, it was less of an issue because I presume the perspiration went down the length of the hair shaft and partially evaporated off. But post chemo my hair is short and it’s even more damp.

It’s urban air pollution that has me washing daily.

Of course, I also find heavy smoking of high-stink weed and tobacco compliments my workouts tremendously.

I too shampoo after using public transport, r4.

My personal trainer has an impressive mop of curls which he told me he only shampoos weekly using the “curly girl method”. He also claims it doesn’t smell. I agree with him, but I am lying, because he’s a nice dude and has improved my fitness substantially.

You should shampoo your heads every day, pigs.

* If it’s a mediocre workout or my hair dries early on the way home

Oh, dear.

"Hair"?

On my HEAD?

I don’t have hair on my head. Makes things a little easier.

People who don't bath and wash their hair are slobs and skanks, trainers are not someone to take advice from, they aren't really doing anything, just playing around pretending,

R8/9 do bald folks shampoo their scalps? Or do you use regular facial cleanser?

I shampoo every day.

R1, your hair varies?

Daily makes no sense; you’d strip the oils away.

I work out every day and use shampoo every second or third day, depending.

Rinsing your hair in the shower does a sufficient job in between.

Rinse with clean water after a workout, shampoo once a week.

Yes r24, let's get our filthy habits from Today.com, fucking bathe every fucking day, YOU FUCKING STINK, has society sunk to the lowest level, you're humans not animals, it is not acceptable you filthy POS.

Daily. If I don't wash my hair every day, it turns into a greasy mess.

I don’t think it’s necessary, or even advisable, for most people to shampoo everyday. Its a combination of how active you are, how much oil your scalp produces, and the texture of your hair which determines this.

It should also be said that most people, men with shorter hair use too much shampoo. Like with laundry detergents, many people think more is better which is not the case. For most short hairstyles, a dime to quarter sized amount of shampoo is correct.

The type of shampoo and conditioner you use plays a big role as well. Products that contain sulfates and silicones are harsher on your hair, and people with curlier hair types would benefit from buying products which don’t contain these ingredients.

How lucky you all are to have hair to wash.

Every morning for work. Shampoo/conditioner.

A second time after working out in the evening, before bed.

I'll take a third shower/shampoo on wierd days or weekends where I've sweated again after needing to be cleaned up for an event.

Stinky BO or hair is gross, and yes--if you're not cleaning with soap regularly you stink even if you can't smell it anymore.

As if there has ever been anyone on DL who works out every day.

Washing your hair every day can lead to hair loss. You can condition every day, but wash once a week

If your head sweats you need to shampoo it.

Use something conditioning if you're worried about "stripping the oil" from you scalp which is utter nonsense anyway. This doesn't determine the health of your hair or scalp. Who wants to walk around with smelly grease head? I smell this on fraus who wash their hair once a week and think they're doing themselves a favour. Even though they shower daily the smell of their dirty hair is overwhelming. It makes me gag. Don't be that person.

If you must, wash it every other day, but no less than that. On non wash days use J&J pure corn starch with aloe on your roots to absorb the extra oil. Do not use dry shampoo as it contains benzene which is known to be cancerous.

So many misinformations and scare tactics, ignore the reactionaries, but you gullible shallow gays will not sad

What scare tactics r24?

The only thing scary is your command of the English language.

Use Prell every single day. Twice if necessary

I use that apricot scrub on my whole head.

Everybody's working out yet everyone is on pills for weight loss, and getting fatter, there's a problem there I think

Who has time to work out everyday when you have a demanding stressful job like mine? I used to run 10 miles a day and go to the gym all the time. Now I sit on video calls all day and get yelled at and get fat. Fuck you Covid! I want my old life back.

Skip the cardio r29, total waste of time. Weights and stretches, get your heart rate high, in and out of the gym in 45m.

I don't work out much but I have washed my hair every day since high school (about 45 years). I usually use the same plain, mild soap I use to wash myself with.

Joke's on you. I work out every day and I'm bald.

The hair washing is incidental for me, as my main goals are to wash my ass and front bits. I don’t know how people survive not washing those regions daily.

I workout regularly and wash my hair every 3-4 days. Shower everyday and wash my bits. I use hair powder or sea salt spray.

Depends on the workout. I shower every day, and certainly after a workout, but don't always shampoo my hair. Excessive hair-washing is, well, excessive. Depends on where I'm going, if I'm heading out for the evening, etc., of course. My basic rule is, if I feel icky putting my head on my pillow I'll opt for the hair-wash.

I have a buzzcut, so I just use the same bodywash I use everywhere else.

If you sweat a lot from a workout, you should shampoo your hair afterwards. .

I swim laps and the chlorine and chemicals in the pool dry my hair out, so I wear a swim cap and shampoo with a shampoo designed to remove that gunk.

I didn't realize so many people don't wash their hair daily or almost daily.

I mean is the hair not on the body, and don't you wash your body?

Just put some Lume on it. It’s a million times better than washing your ass!

Yes. But I'm a blonde and my hair looks greasy if I don't wash it with shampoo daily. Plus I'm 55 and still have a full head of hair, so I gotta take care of this precious asset while it's still around!

Daily, sometimes twice with a gentle shampoo and conditioner. I have a full head of hair at 68.

Every day. I workout every day and sweat a lot. Wash my hair every day even if I don't work out.

Not me, r28. I'm not on any weight loss drugs. I lost 100 lbs with diet and exercise alone. I look and feel amazing.

r23, I am totally with you. I know so many women who, for some reason, started this "I'm only washing my hair once a week" thing and they STINK. One friend only showers 2 times a week. Gross.

"DLers who work out every day"

This. Never. Happens.

As a person who was taught to follow directions: I wash and then rinse. And then repeat. So, I again wash, then rinse. Then repeat the wash, the rinse... I have no time to work out every day.

r45, I beg to differ.

What hair, OP?

Stunning and brave, R47.

I wash my hair every other day but it sometimes makes me feel self conscious. It's more of a "what if it smells to other people?" thing than it actually smelling. I asked my mum once if she thought it smelt OK -- she's very honest and she said it was fine.

I think you'd need to get quite close to someone to be able to smell their hair anyway and I like to keep my distance from the unwashed masses.

Oh honey, all those roided out queens are bald.
