m starting to see more and more naturals at track meets. I love it. Last year the track was the one place where I felt alone after I did my BC because most people had relaxers or weave.
So many people tell me they don’t want to go natural because track makes their hair sweat out and if they straighten it then it will sweat out faster. I rock my afro every single day at practice. In fact, my hair is one less thing to worry about and I can do my workouts and sweat out as hard as I can without having to worry about my hair looking a hot mess when I’m done.
Here is a list of reasons why athletes especially should embrace natural hair:
- You’re always on the go and it take time to have to go to the salon every week to get a touch up, roller set or blow out
- You can always braid natural hair as a protective style
- You can wash it whenever you want (especially after nasty workouts)
- Do you do an outdoor sport/activity? Then you don’t have to worry about rain!
- If you do it right, being natural is cheaper and you save a ton of money
- You can put more time and energy at practices into your workout and less time worrying about your hair sweating out
- Even after workouts your hair still looks cute
- Exercise promotes hair growth
There is so much more but those are among my favorite reasons
