I can't help much since I don't sweat very much if at all, but whenever I do, I just... let it be. I might take a shower since I can't stand being sweaty but my hair won't bother me so I still don't wash it until whenever is my next wash day. The sweat will just evaporate and I don't see any issues with my hair after that.
Have you ever tried just leaving it alone after working out? What happens to it? Does it look more oily, or does it look ugly? Does it smell?
If it's a matter of it looking oily, you can try spreading the oil with a boar bristle brush. If it's a matter of it looking ugly, you can wear it up until the next wash day. If it's a matter of it smelling, then... well... you should wash it... LOL
Thankfully, it doesn't appear to become stinky. Or at least, it offends no one except my grandmother who randomly sniffs my head because she's in the second-childhood-I-can-do-whatever-I-please stage. Anything less than Lysol fresh and she'll comment. Of course, she also considers it horrible that I do anything that makes me sweat. Ladies aren't supposed to play sports.
My objection stems from how my hair looks. The top will appear shiny, and the rest of it will be its usual baby fine frizzy self. :wall: It's a weird combo. I should invest in a Mason Pearson but they're so expensive (@$140) I wince every time I approach the local hair salon that carries them.
The only thing that really helps with shedding is to cut the hair short, which I'm sure no one here is interested in. Mind you, short hair doesn't decrease the amount of shedding, it just looks like less since the hair is shorter.
