Co- Washing

Using a great conditioner like the Curls Sublime Conditioner or the As I Am

Coconut Co wash are great options, but you can use whatever alternative to

preference, to help condition those strands.

For those of you that do not know what Co-Washing is, this process is a short word

for "Conditioning only" washing for hair, so in effect you are skipping the

shampooing stage and just conditioning your hair, this process will leave your hair

much softer and easy to manage and it will not strip your hair from moisture.

Oils

Peppermint Oil is a great one to use to massage into your hair after workout,

peppermint oil helps to break up the sweat built up in your strands

Peppermint Oil- is great when massaged into the scalp it helps to stimulate the hair

follicles and helps to promote hair growth. Peppermint has to be diluted before

messaging onto the scalp especially for those that have a sensitive scalp, it is

recommended to mix 3 drops of peppermint oil with 3 teaspoons of water then

massage into the scalp

Deep Conditioning on Dry Hair

If your workout falls on your wash day, like my workout days throughout the week

ends on a Saturday, my wash day, I always like to prep my hair early in the

morning around 6 am before I venture out to the gym. I use a great deep

conditioner Co- Wash As I Am, and apply this on dry hair.

Sectioning my hair into four's I apply the product into each section of my hair

detangling as I go along. Once this has been applied, I just twist my hair into two

buns, bobby pins them, and I am good to go and burn them calories baby!

After my work out, from the sweat and heat that has allowed my hair to penetrate

that deep conditioning goodness, I just co- wash my hair or if it is a shampoo day,

which I conduct monthly I just wash my hair, apply conditioner, detangle, conduct

the LOC method, and style to my desire.
