Prevent sweaty and oily scalp after exercise
Scalp sweating is normal, especially after exercise. But for many, increased sweating of the scalp can be annoying, both during exercise and in everyday life. As well as being uncomfortable, it can leave hair feeling greasy and flat. Fortunately, there are several ways you can deal with sweat and oily scalp.
Here are some effective tips to keep both scalp and hair healthy.
WASH YOUR HAIR REGULARLY WITH A MILD SHAMPOO
When you exercise regularly, frequent hair washing may be necessary to avoid sweat and oil build-up. However, it's important to choose a mild shampoo that doesn't irritate the scalp or dry out the hair. Mellow Minds Neutral Shampoo Bar is an ideal choice for this purpose. This vegan and fragrance-free shampoo is gentle on the scalp but effective in cleansing the hair. It is enriched with natural moisturizing ingredients that help maintain a healthy scalp without stripping hair of its natural oils.
Neutral Shampoo Bar is also pH-balanced and based on mild, sulfate-free detergents, which means it's suitable for frequent use and ideal for those with sensitive scalps. This also makes it great for those following the Curly Girl Method.
USE DRY SHAMPOO FOR BUSY DAYS
On days when you don't have time for a full hair wash, a dry shampoo can be a quick and effective solution to remove excess oil from the scalp. Mellow Minds Dry Shampoo Powder is a powder-based dry shampoo that contains organic rice and tapioca powder. These natural ingredients absorb the oil without irritating the scalp or leaving a white veil in the hair.
The fresh scent of rosemary and peppermint makes it extra pleasant to use while helping to add volume and lift hair from the roots. Using dry shampoo between washes helps keep hair fresh and reduces the need for frequent washing, which protects the scalp.
Choose dry shampoo powder instead of aerosol to avoid harmful chemicals like VOCs, butane and propane. Aerosols can irritate the eyes, nose and throat and cause headaches. The powder is healthier, gentler and better for you and the environment.
FRESHEN UP YOUR HAIR WITH HAIR SERUM
After exercise, a good hair serum with rosemary can quickly refresh your hair. Mellow Minds hair serum stimulates hair growth, moisturizes the scalp and balances oil production. Rosemary water and vitamin B5 keep the scalp healthy and hair moisturized.
USE A NOURISHING CONDITIONER TO CARE FOR YOUR HAIR
Sweat and oil can leave hair flat and lifeless, especially after an intense workout. That's why it's important to use a good conditioner that both nourishes and strengthens hair without weighing it down. Mellow Minds Conditioner Bar is a perfect choice for this purpose. It's enriched with natural oils such as broccoli seed oil, cocoa butter and vitamin B5 to nourish hair and leave it silky smooth and easy to comb.
The Conditioner Bar is also vegan, plastic-free and pH-balanced, making it sustainable and gentle on both hair and the environment. It's ideal for all hair types and requires no adjustment phase, making it convenient and easy to integrate into your hair care routine.
GOOD SCALP CARE ROUTINES
Besides choosing the right products, a healthy scalp routine can also help reduce sweat and oily hair. Make sure to exfoliate your scalp regularly to remove dead skin cells and product build-up. A healthy scalp is key to healthy hair and can help reduce excess oil production.
