Hi guys welcome back to my channel so in this video I wanted to come and quickly show you guys how I like to preserve my straight natural hair. When I go to the gym, I am headed to the gym now and I was like. Let me go ahead and film this video, because I know when I was looking for videos on how to preserve natural hair, while working out it wasn't really much to find, and even once I did find, I tried those mythic styling and did not work for me. This is the only way that I have found that actually works for me, so I figured maybe have helped to some of you guys as well. So as I say, obviously my hair is straight. I am someone who sweats in my scalp, so my roots will puff up just a bit but they're already starting to do that because that's like one of the first places I start sweating and if less it will give your ends a wave. But it should still be pretty straight texture wise. So all I like to do is twist my hair and I do this pretty tightly it's gon na twist. It all the way down to the ends. Yeah, I'm gon na do a bantu knot and, as you can see, I did split my hair in half, so I do two dancing lights and you want to make sure you're tucking the ends and your little band to nut, and I wrap the ponytail holder around Pretty tight as well, I do it about three times, and these are like little like medium size, 22 holders, so there's one and I'm just gon na do the same thing to this side. Now. A key here is to let your hair dry in these fancy nuts kind of like with my preservation routine, for it on my washing goes. I let it stay in the pineapple all night until my roots is right. Before I take it down, I am going to be sleeping with these fancy nut scenes and, like I said it does give my hair a wave, something like this nice, like almost like beach waves, it's gon na have, but at this point I'm normally like I stick With my hair and made two nights some nights anyway, because I have an oily scalp so once my natural oils start peeking through in my root area, I'll start doing my hair like this, so it won't get even more oily and get like super way down and Play if I'm trying to make my straight hair legs now, I'm gon na take my little sweatband. I got this from Walmart. It'S not a brand dry, sweat I'll, try to find a link to it, but I'm just gon na take my sweat bin and put it around my edges and that's it. They don't go workout just like this. I'M actually probably going to put my visor on today, but yeah pretty much it like. I said if you're like me and you sweat in your scalp, you want to let this dry before you take it down, because if you don't mean it probably start freezing up, but I'm gon na go work out and then once I come back, I'm gon na Leave the bantu knots in and sleep with them in overnight, so they can dry and tomorrow, when I take them down, I will come back and show you guys when my hair is looking white, so you can see you know how it held up: okay, y'all! It'S the next day, I'm just going to recap what I did last night when I got back from the gym. So when I came home I took off my hat and my sweat van and I immediately tie my hair up with my hair scarf. So that's all! I did last night it's in my hair, so now I'm just going to take this down and I can say all right now that my edge is da poof up, but that's what they do. Nothing that a little edge control won't help. As you can see, it's a bit wavy now, I'm just gon na take the ponytail holders off and, like I said my roots, will most likely have pooped up a bit. I know back here where the party is in the back right back here. It definitely pulls up some cuz. Yesterday I have to I'd, eat legs, so one of the machines I said on, I had to like lean my head up against it, but I made my sweat just marinate all in my root area back there. So now I'm just unrolling it like. I said it's going to give your hair a wave as you can see, and I'm just going to comb through it, and I, like I said the roots will puff up a bit. But as you can see, it's not horrible. That'S just you know the price you have to pay. If you want to still work out while you're here is straight it I can't just not go to the souk with my hair straight. What kind of excuse is that, but I like the wave that it gives so I don't mind and then with the waves, your roots are like even less noticeable. So here's what looking like as you can see. Besides the waves, my ears are still straight and in poof up, so, if you don't mind the wave, I was just wearing your hair like this to the gym. If you want to preserve it I'll show you guys the back, so you have to see with these. At won't or look alike, that is all I hope this video was helpful to some of you guys as usual. If you have any questions, feel free to leave those down in the comment section and don't forget to Like and subscribe and I'll see you guys in my next one bye,
Comments
Tatyana Tutson: Omg so many people don’t understand this struggle, it’s so much work and stressful some days. Especially when you workout consistently
Deyana: My hero . I want to start wearing my hair straight more often after 11 years being natural, but this is a major obstacle for me. I run two and a half miles every morning and then I lift so I’m sweating a lot but I absolutely love these results so I’m not so scared anymore. Thank you so much!!!
MsMartin87: Your end results sold me on straightening my hair I was worried about sweating it out at the gym (because I go 4-5/week) and now I know what I’m going to do! Bantu knots!! Those waves and volume were everything!!! Your hair is beautiful!!!
Crystal Simmons: I am going to try that the next time I straighten my hair. I usually take a break from the gym for 2 weeks when my hair is straight. That's as long as I can go without working out. After a workout my hair is so wet it looks like I washed it.
TBella26: Yes this was really helpful. Hair looks gorgeous!
Fine Natural Hair ROCKS: Thank you so much for this video! Because of you, I was able to maintain my recently flat ironed hair during my cycling class today =D
neetrab: Oh this is perfect!!! Thank you!! And those waves look great. For me, as long as I'm able to comb through my hair with barely any problem, I'm good. I just started working out again and am now just trying to find tyr best solution to this issue. Your hair looks great! Definitely getting the sweatband!
Kendria Corbett: Thank you so much for this video! Very nice honest review and finally a video where I don’t have to wrap my hair!!!
Yienessa Warren: I LOVE IT. I straightened my hair for the first time in YEARS. I'm getting back into my gym routine this week. I was SO worried about sweating out all of this hard work. Hopefully this works for me P.S. The waves are Gorgeous!!
Movies Over Matter Productions: Excellent Fabulous Workable technique here! Thank you so so so SOOOO MUCH for posting this! not only is your hair protected, this is a look! Your waves are beautiful! I sweat in my scalp all the same so I can’t tell you enough how appreciated your advice/technique is! Hope you nod yours are well & you are appreciated Take care
Aamoriqualifiedswan: Thanks for this helpful video, and what a lovely preservation result! :)
Randi Alade: I sweat in my scalp I put my hair in a ponytail. The key is to let your hair dry in either the ponytail or Bantu Knots. Also after my workout I replace the sweaty band with a new headband that’s tight don’t take it off till my head is dry.
Ashleigh: Thank you! I haven't straightened my hair for almost a year because I started working out but kinda miss my straightened hair - love this video :)
O: Thank you! Work out at night. Noted! And the waves are pretty. Funny as a child I used to be mad when the waves came after my grandma pressed my hair
K Jenkins: Awesome technique. I love how wavy it gets after you take your hair down.
Quinn Terry: Beautiful head of hair- this was helpful! I'm gonna try this this morning!!
Nita Randall: I do this exact style with my hair when straightening it. I prefer the shave look so the puffy roots don’t matter. Only thing is I workout in the morning so my roots don’t have overnight to completely dry, but I don’t mind. My hair is about the same length as yours. Love this style.
Lannette P: Your hair is beautiful! What technique would you recommend for hair that is neck or shoulder length before working out?
Mixed Kidd: Those waves shouldve been a Tutorial on their own
Corrin B: Thanks for being short and to the point !!
Danielle Douglas: I have the exact same hair type. THANK YOU!!!!!
sinaminaful: Well done! I would also suggest moving the sweat band back more onto your hair to catch the sweat that puffed your edges up.
Angie D: Thanks! That is so helpful! I will give it a try!!
Katshell: My hero! I cannot wait to try this! I sweat pretty bad in my head.
nychica718: Definitely going to try this I sweat so much on my scalp ... thanks for the tip that wave is nice
Michele Jones: Love your beach waves! Takira my hair would have reverted when I hit the door lol!
Ariane Nicole: I love the waves so much looking like body wave bundles
Alex P: Thank you so much I wasn't going to go but I need too and I'm going because of you!
Shaniqua Lewis: I love how when you showed the back you wasnt shaking your head back and forth like the other millions of youtubers do.
Diandra Stewart: I love this! Thank you!

Selina Zinchuk: Easy and great method.
Dani Kay: Thank you will be trying ASAP
K M: I think its so funny that we have the same scarf and I use that rubber band trick also when I can't get it to tie in a knot. But it came out so pretty. Going to have to try this next time I get a flat iron cause mine is always ruined after working out.
AIU Tone: Has this worked for anyone else ? Gonna try this soon
Sachianna7591: Do the ponytail holders cut off your hair where you fastened them? I’m interested in this method but am afraid of having it cut off my hair where it fastens.
earthangel: Great tutorial
Aisha Waters: Thank u thank you. The struggle is really really real
Krystal Hardwick: Incredible! Do you put any products on it at all when it’s straight? Cause I got a silk press and imma bout to give up lol

Melody Safo: Do you think this will work for all hair types (4b/4c and high porosity hair)
Be Encouraged: Empty Nester Tshirt Printing: That is beautiful...thanx for this video...because I have avoided my treadmill like the plague
sierra rucker: Can you sit under the dryer or will that mess your flat iron up ?
Be Encouraged: Empty Nester Tshirt Printing: Any morning workout suggestions..I’m thinking..maybe I should get up much earlier and allow myself enough time to sit under the dryer for at least 30 minutes I wonder if thats enough time to dry my scalp what do you think?
