How do you care your hair after Exercise?


according to the hairdressers, they look at hair care differently than someone who is not working or was in the hairdressing profession

   What is hair care?


Hair care goes further than just washing the hair and blowing dry with the hairdryer of the gym. It is surprising that how rough some people deal with their hair: rubbing the hair dry with a towel is fine, but do it carefully and with care. Drying is even better than rubbing the hair dry. Wet and just washed hair is very fragile.

What is the best way to care for your hair after exercise?


The hair scales are open due to the shampoo and the warm water. The hair scales are easily damaged by a towel or the wrong brush. Because even a brush can seriously damage the hair. A coarse comb is a better choice than most brushes that I saw coming from sports bags. With many brushes you break the hair, they damage the hair because the hair around the pins tangles. With a comb you have that much less.

A wide-toothed comb has a lot of space between the teeth so that your hair is less stressed. You get through wet hair much easier with a wide tooth comb without damaging the hair. A tangle teezer also has coarse teeth and the hair will not stick in this brush. Also always comb the hair from the points upwards. So: in the points start with the confusion and slowly untangle towards the start.



   Wet hair

Most people know that wet hair is fragile. Most people don't know that it will take a while before the scales close properly. Especially damaged hair takes a long time before the scales close and until then the hair loses its moisture. You can therefore better help the hair with the closing of the scales, so that the hair shines again and it looks less dry and fluffy. You do that by washing the hair after washing the hair with lukewarm or even better: 




   cold water.

Of course you want to wash your hair at a pleasant temperature. But too hot is not good for the hair. It dries out the hair. So do not set the tap too hot and turn the tap a little lower in terms of temperature when you start rinsing the hair. Then the hair scales can close a little so that the hair is less vulnerable.

You get a nice shine and it starts to shed less. A cream rinse or mask also closes the hair scales. In the gym you may not have the time or desire. Then there are also very good leave-in products for sale that you do not have to rinse from the hair. People with healthy hair certainly do not always need this: the hair scales close faster after washing the hair and are also less open to water and shampoo.




    Rinse the hair well

Rinsing the shampoo well is very important. If you do not rinse the shampoo properly, residues of shampoo may remain behind, causing itching or flakes on the scalp. The hair can therefore quickly feel greasy or sticky.



   Let the hair dry

Allowing the hair to air dry is the most healthy way to dry hair. It is understandable that you do not always want this because you would otherwise leave the gym with wet hair. Many people will also grab the hair dryer that is hanging in the dressing room.

To prevent the hair from drying out from the heat of the hair dryer and because the hair scales are still a little open from washing, it is better to protect the hair. Protect the hair from the heat of the hair dryer with a firmer in the form of a spray or mousse. These products are not only meant to give your hair strength and shape as most people think. They have an important function: they protect the hair against environmental influences such as a hair dryer. Do not set the hair dryer too hot anyway. It is not necessary and only burden the hair.
So if you have taken good care of the body in the gym, take good care of your skin and hair. Then you are doing well twice!



   In a tail

Some have long hair. They may not be used to blow-drying the hair daily and allow the hair to air dry. Very well! However, what I often saw in the dressing room was that an elastic band appeared and the long wet hair was tightly tied back in an elastic band. This is really very bad for the hair. Hair is in fact elastic and especially when the hair is wet the hair can stretch a bit.

the hairdresser always said to their customers for convenience:

    "The hair is longer when it is wet, so if you put it wet in a tail it will break off while drying."

 But hair is elastic: it stretches and it shrinks.

Wet hair can indeed be pulled a little longer with putting in a tail. When drying, the hair comes under tension. It can snap.
