For a sleek and swingy finish, hold the dryer approximately 6 inches from the ends and flick your wrist as you blow-dry. Finally, tousle hair into position with your fingers.
No one will ever know that you were drenched in sweat just moments before!

9/7/2010 05:17:23 PM Report AbuseAnother tip what I do when I can't shower after my workout and believe me I sweat. I use antiseptic body wipes to clean myself off that way all the bacteria from working out gets cleaned off me. They work good I don't smell at all after and I feel clean. Of course people shower your body when you have a chance at home. I agree on the not washing your hair everyday it is bad and very drying!
9/7/2010 05:09:28 PM Report AbuseI have short hair and am drenched after my workouts. This hair tousling etc. won't work for me. A hat works is my go to until I can shower and I NEED to shampoo everyday. I agree, wash sweat.

3/25/2010 05:18:07 PM Report AbuseJSOT011-- what is up with you?? You probably don't even workout.. commenting about people being gross and what not. and most of the info you're spouting off is wrong!!
3/24/2010 10:12:01 AM Report AbuseMany hair stylists have told me to wash as needed. NOT DAILY! Unless you were swimming in pool, or in a smoke filled bar etc. These tips are just that "TIPS" not etched in stone. Use what will work for you. Try just a few seconds under a dryer with a spritz of your favorite body spray can work too. I use my light body spray in my hair. It gives it a fresh smell and I spray my body and I am good to go when squezzing in a workout.
3/17/2010 10:05:02 AM Report AbusePinkflamenco...I do have curly hair and I use dry shampoo that sprays in and it works great. My favorite kind is the cheap stuff at Sally in the green/turquoise can. I have bought Ojon and Frederick Fekkai but the cheap one is good.
3/10/2010 10:09:22 AM Report AbuseShower after workout good. Washing your hair everyday after workout...VERY BAD!!!! My hair would be trashed if I washed and blow dried it every day and so is yours if you are doing it. Dry shampoo works great...can buy it at Sally Beauty or Sephora or I may in fact try this out. Sounds like it would work.
3/10/2010 10:05:33 AM Report AbuseTo JSOTO11... Don't be so judgy. Of course you need to shower after working out, but sometimes it's not available right away! This is a good suggestion in some cases. I run with a group on Saturday mornings at a forest preserve, then go straight to breakfast. We change at the restaurant and I guess I can see doing a quick blow dry if necessary.
3/9/2010 10:57:17 AM Report AbuseI wish someone would write an article like this for people with curly hair. I can't possibly use a blow dryer after a workout!
