Post-Workout Hair

Some flair with a hair wrap will enable you to return to work with more style than just simply pulling the hair back like this.

Margarita Johnson, a hairstylist, discusses styles that can be done in a jiffy after a workout--especially if there is no time to shower. The key is preparation and planning.

Wearing a baseball cap or bandana during a workout actually keeps the perspiration away from the hair and face. When the cap is removed, a lot of the moisture will be in the cap itself.
Use an antiseptic spray to freshen the hair and scalp. By reducing the smell and bacteria, this will reduce the anxiety that accompanies returning to work after exercise.

Hair clips (figure A) work great for putting hair up (figure B). Decide what size clip works best for you and drop it in your bag.

If you want to leave your hair down, use leave-in conditioner, moisturizer and gel after the antiseptic spray so that your hair won't be too dry.

With a little pomade and leave-in conditioner, African-American hair will take a curl quite well. Be sure to test the curling iron with a tissue to make sure it's not too hot and drop a few curls on the hair ends.

Figure C

Using small butterfly hair clips (figure C) after brushing the hair through allows you to gain sophistication while spending less than a minute clipping it back. Don't forget to add a little mousse to the hair with this look.
