Bootcamp: Workout Hair

Hey everyone! Leah here....


Well, 3 girls tackled bootcamp this month. Today is actually our last day. Z and myself will be attending today's last session, while Lauren catches up on schoolwork. We have pushed ourselves to the limit, worked on our eating habits, and hopefully, gotten a head start on our beach bodies. 

Just wanted to say a few words before heading out to my last session. I can not count how many times I have heard someone say, "I can't work out, I just did my hair!" or "I don't work out because I will sweat my hair out." Well people, if hair is more important than your health, then you may want to think about cutting it all off. LOL Admit it, we have to just get over it sometimes. OK OK, I've probably said it a few times, but I have recently realized it's just a part of life and something I must learn to deal with.

So what to do about the hair, when you are getting your sweat on??? For me, it helps to wear a hat. I pull my hair through the back in a bun or a pony tail. This not only keeps the sun out of my face, but also keeps my hair up and back,  and catches some of the sweat.

If i'm working out indoors, I don't wear a hat. I just pull my hair back into a high pony tail. An elastic head band controls the front and keeps my hair from getting on my forehead. If your hair is shorter I would suggest a thicker band to hold it back and up. A few pins could help too. It seems as though I usually perspire most on my neck and forehead. I've heard some people say they sweat in their scalp, but I have never experienced such a thing. Sometimes I wonder if they are being honest about that too. :)

When pulling your hair back, you don't have to pull it so tight. If you make a loose pony, or just pin back, you shouldn't loose your curls or current style. Once you take it down, you should be good to go. Just think of it as taking a shower without a shower cap.

Lastly, I know we all care about our hair and virtually how we look. Lets continue that care from our heads to our entire body. So for now, take care of your hair, and......take care of your body.
