Crochet Braids and exercise

[sgold04]

Hello ladies, I posed this question in the health and fitness forum too. I am thinking of trying crochet braids for the first time pretty soon. I would get the added hair twisted into Havana twists. Once I come back from vacation, I plan on resuming my workouts, about 5 times a week, and I sweat a lot from my head. I would like to keep the crochet braids in for about 6-8 weeks. Has anyone exercised on a regular basis with crochet braids? How do you keep your scalp clean and dry after a work out? Do you have any techniques for keeping your own hair healthy? Thanks!

Hey OP when I wore crochets and worked out I would water rinse my hair every few days unless I sweated a river.
Once a week I would dilute shampoo with warm water in an applicator bottle and use that on my scalp. I'd separate the hair into big buns or flat twists to access my scalp better.
