I Work Out A Lot & Play Sports. What Should I do?
For Afro Textured Hair That Is Natural
Put your hair up for your work outs and activities. Shampoo your hair with a mild shampoo after your activities. Use a conditioner, a leave-in hair strengthener, then use Afro Detangler--which is also a leave-in conditioner. You can do this daily. The Afro Detangler not only detangles instantly, but it will also prevent the hair from drying out without an oily feel.
