They should be treated properly especially for people who are gym goers. While you have been exercising in the gym, the hair tends to fall on your forehead or neck line which usually gets sticky here after. The reason here explains that the hair stickiness is due to the sweat accumulated around your forehead and neck line areas. So to get an answer to your concern, here are some tips about how to care hair for gym goers.
1. Use of Shampoo
Especially for gym goers, you would feel the need to use shampoo each and every day, because of your dry and dull looking hair. Moreover, after you return home from gym you can feel the stickiness between them. The trick here says, do not shampoo everyday this will remove the natural oil which is present in the scalp. You can rinse your hair with some warm water and use the conditioner latter.
2. Use of Dry shampoo
This is the most demanded product and the market is flooded with many types of dry shampoo. Dry shampoo is an alternate idea of using shampoo; they are not as harmful as shampoo can be on your scalp and hair. Use some dry shampoo before you leave to gym so that the dry shampoo controls the excess oil from the scalp and also absorb them.

6. Hairstyles
Instead of always going for those high ponies you can try out some different hairstyles too. They can be anything between fishtails, braids and plates.
