Is It OK to Skip Washing Your Hair After Working Out? A Stylist Weighs In

Can You Apply Dry Shampoo on Sweaty Hair?

While not washing your hair isn’t necessarily bad for your hair or for your scalp, it can still make your hair look dirty or greasy To transform your post-sweat, wet, flat hair into a fresh-looking style, Lopez recommends first towel-drying your hair as much as possible to absorb excess moisture. Then, once your hair has air dried for a bit, grab a blow dryer to smooth out ends and remove any remaining dampness. Finally, take horizontal sections of hair and spray dry shampoo directly into your root. “Allow the dry shampoo to sit — I call it cooking your dry shampoo,” he says. “After five or so minutes, rub the dry shampoo into the scalp and brush through to remove excess powder.” This will give the hair body and help eliminate odor.
