Sweaty hair help

5 replies

Swettyelizabeth · 13/05/2025 06:56

I have always had a problem with my very fine, thin hair in that i sweat a lot in the summer if i get even the slightest bit hot and it's incredibly embarrassing because my hair then looks wet. If i have styled it then once it's already got sweaty, my hair looks crap for the rest of the day if I'm out as the style just falls out. It's currently a short bob with no fringe. I can't grow it long enough to tie up as my hair is weak and breaks easily.

Any solutions to prevent this people can suggest would be gratefully received. It makes me not want to go out in the summer. Headbands etc make me hotter.

I'm exactly the same, it's miserable isn't it?

Dry shampoo applied immediately after washing and styling will help. Don’t wait until it’s gone sweaty.

Do you use a styling product? I have very soft, fine hair and I'm always the one with a sweaty head in the gym, so I know how you feel.
