How to prevent my hair from sweating while working out?

Question

Answer 1

shave your head or put deodorant all over your head there is nothing you can do about that.have you tried to get braids for a little while.

Answer 2

you can stop sweat unless you get botox injections in your scalp-ouch!

Answer 3

Your body is going to sweat naturally.  There's no way you can keep your scalp from sweating, its just natural like the rest of your body sweats.

Sorry about that.

Answer 4

Understand how your heart works.  When it pumps blood, the first place it goes is to the brain, and then the internal organs and then the extremities.        You just have great circulation, that's all.  Hair itself does not sweat.  The scalp does and it is a steam bath up there.  Do cardio.   Wear a sweat band to keep the sweat out of the eyes.  If you don't like it in the hair, shave the head.   Or exercise naked or with the heat off>or both< (as you are overheating).  Simple solutions.

Answer 5

Nothing will keep your scalp from sweating if you get hot.  But wrapping a cold wet scarf around your neck or head may help keep you a bit cooler.  They even make products filled with gel that you put in the fridge for awhile before wearing.  

PS - I'm white so not familiar with black hair but aren't there any products you can put on after to condition and soften it?
