I wash my hair in the mornings so I can style it for work and I am about to start couch to 5k training after work. I don't want to have to wash my hair twice a day as it takes along time to, is it icky to have a quick shower after training and not wash my hair. How do you all manage exercise and hair washing? If you go to the gym in your lunch time to you go back to work without washing your hair?

Yes this is an age old problem, I know people who used to go running in their lunch hours and always thought it a little yuk, even though they had a shower they didn't wash blow dry their hair and reapply their make up did they.
I think the answer is one day of pain do not wash your hair in the morning then from that day forth you wash your hair after training.

I go to the gym after work and I just have a quick shower without washing hair, and then wash my hair the next morning, I think this is fine personally.

If I was exercising in the morning or at lunchtime though, I wouldn't want to go to work with sweaty hair...

I would have to wash hair. fact. I used to swim at lunch time and had to wash and blow dry hair. Got into a routine and it was fine.

I wash mine every other day so I do it after running (I run after work so have the time to do it then). If it isn't looking great the morning of the day it is due to be washed I use a bit of dry shampoo and tie it back (I don't have to be smart for work).

I do the same as Ephiny - morning workout = hairwash before work or doing whatever I am doing that day. By the time I get home from an after work workout, it is usually after 9pm. I will have had a quick shower at the gym and then when I get home, I usually just have a snack, let that get down and then head to bed, washing my hair the next morning.

I go to the gym most lunchtimes and never wash my hair. I tie my hair back to work out so it doesn't get sweaty. I grab a quick shower and get back to work - I'd never fit it in if I washed and blow dryed my hair too.

I often run in the afternoon - I tie my hair back and often wear a buff as a hairband which soaks up any sweat - lovely!

I have a quick body and face shower after running and leave my hair to the next morning. It is fine! I think...
