Maybe it's because I don't sweat in my head a lot...or at least not to the point where my scalp or hair (which is usually still in its fat twists or plaits from the night before) suffers. However, when I swim or do Bikram yoga, the hair definitely has to get washed! SO glad you posted this…I almost never rinse or wash after a workout and my hair seems fine.

But I've started to work out five days a week (and rest on the weekends) and I rinse my hair in the middle of the week if it feels like it needs to be rinsed. I hope that makes sense. So yeah, I don't think you have to do that, but if it works for you, your routine, and your hair then keep on keepin on. It's just experimentation. Try only rinsing/cowashing in the middle of the week and see how your hair does with that. Might work out as well.

I haven't noticed anything negative from this process. If anything, my hair is growing faster than ever :) Also, when I was blow-drying and flat-ironing my hair weekly, I still worked out daily and I never had scalp problems even with the sweat and buildup of the week.
