Sweatproof & Sleek: How to Keep Your Hair Frizz-Free Through Every Workout
A great workout leaves you feeling strong, empowered, and unstoppable—but does it have to leave your hair frizzy and out of control? In this A Toda Madre series with Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine, we’re sharing the ultimate sweatproof secrets to keeping your locks sleek, smooth, and frizz-free, no matter how intense your workout gets.
For many Latinas, an active lifestyle is essential to staying healthy and fit. Whether we’re hitting the nearest gym for a class, lifting weights, or letting our pasos prohibidos take over the dance floor, we know a thing or two about getting our bodies moving.
All that movement can wreak havoc on our hair, though. Navigating busy schedules combined with humidity, sweat, and movement can lead to unwanted frizz. The good news is that there’s hope. We’re sharing our most practical tips, tricks, and the best water-resistant and humidity-proof product recommendations to keep you fit and fab at the same time.
It all starts with a good hair-care routine
Before you hit the gym hard, create a hair care routine that works for you. Sweat contains salts and minerals that can disrupt the hair’s pH balance, leading to dryness and frizz. Humidity is also your enemy when it comes to rocking your locks.
Products that offer water-resistant and humidity-proof benefits are essential for maintaining sleek hair during workouts and beyond. Garnier Sleek & Stay Serum for ultra glassy sleek hair that lasts up to 5 washes is a prime example. Sleek & Stay creates a protective layer around the hair shaft, preventing moisture from penetrating and causing frizz.
Opt for strategic hairstyling
When headed to the gym or your next dance session, use Sleek & Stay before putting your hair up in high ponytails, buns, and braids. These styles help keep hair off the neck and face while Sleek & Stay keeps your hair water and humidity resistant.
Use Sleek & Stay Before Your Workout
Before getting your groove on, use Sleek & Stay to ensure your hair stays humidity and sweat proof through your entire workout. Move around all you want without worrying about the frizz one bit, because Garnier has you covered.
Use deep conditioning treatments
Latina hair is often prone to dryness and more frizz than others, which can be exacerbated by frequent washes. Deep conditioning treatments are essential for replenishing moisture and maintaining hair health. Try Sleek & Shine leave in conditioner for instantly smoother, shinier hair for frizz control even in 97% humidity.
Take care of your scalp
Sweat can accumulate on the scalp, leading to irritation and clogged pores. A healthy scalp is crucial for keeping hair in optimal shape. To remove sweat and buildup, cleanse the scalp regularly using gentle massages. You can also use a scalp scrub or clarifying shampoo once a week to deep clean.
Stay hydrated
It may seem like a no-brainer, but healthy hair starts from within. Staying hydrated and maintaining a healthy, balanced diet is crucial for good health. Drinking plenty of water helps keep hair hydrated and prevents dryness, which can lead to frizz. Also, eat a diet rich in proteins, vitamins, and minerals to support hair growth and strength.
Apply a protective serum
Applying a lightweight, water-resistant serum can make a big difference in your hair. If you’re an active chica, applying a serum to damp hair before styling will leave you looking fabulous even if you just lo diste todo on the dance floor.
Fructis Sleek & Stay is a heat activated serum that protects hair up to 450F and delivers up to 5 washes of frizz control and high shine!
Your hair should be as strong and resilient as you are. With the right care, styling, and Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine, you can slay your workouts without sacrificing sleek, frizz-free locks.
