GOING TO THE GYM


Today I am on my way to the gym. Iam dreading going today in particular because I have just gotten my hair done. Someone told me to pin my hair up off of my face since I tend to sweat often and that would help not to mess my hair up. I am still doubtful at this but Iam always willing to try something new. I will send a pic of how I look after the gym. Stay tune and let me know what you'all think.

It has been noted that many African American Women avoid the gym for fear of messing up their hair. African American women are known for spending hours in the beauty shop (as though it is a family tradition) to create beautiful styles. For many once their hair has been sweated out, there goes those luscious locks and another trip to the beauty shop which can start to become very expensive, and over time this can become very time consuming. So how do we maintain our gorgeous locks while still getting adequate exercise?
