Exercise and not ruin my hair?

Let's get to the nitty-gritty. I'm 5'7". Here are my measurements.

Bust: 38

Waist:34

Hips: 42

Weight: 165-ish

Pretty bad right? I really like exercising, and I obviously need to lose weight, but I hate what it does to my hair. In case you didn't know, ethnic hair doesn't go well with sweat. Please tell me I there's a way I can exercise without my hair looking like I just got into a fight (and lost). If there isn't, fine, but, if there is, I'd like to know. I'm 13 btw. I'll understand if you don't believe me. =)

you could try doing exercises that dont get you tooo sweaty. like sit ups, or arm exercises, or a fast walk. that will help keep your head from getting too sweaty. but if your going to run, and you want to lose the weight, you will have to run, then just do that last and then shower

Sadly, as black females, we have to make a choice: our body or our hair. I recommend either getting braids or weave. Make sure you wash your hair more often since you are sweating.

What I do is hairspray my hair in the mornings with a good strong one that will keep the frizz and hair down and at least presentable. When you workout, make sure to put your hair up in a tight bun or use a big clip to hold it together. That way it minimizes the amount of hair that gets in your way. Nobody is going to look great after a workout anyway, so don't worry too much about it. Another alternative is do your workouts at night and take a shower just before you go to bed.

There are lots of ways to be a more active person without getting sweaty. Walking more, riding a bike at a leisurely pace, even cleaning or gardening or shopping- anything but sitting on the couch watching TV. Yoga and pilates are also really good for toning.

By the way, I don't thing your stats are too awful. If you can tone and firm what you've got you'll be fine. Ask your doctor what they think about your fitness. And try to love your body and your hair.
