C'mon sistahs that's why they make headbands! 
It is hard to make the committment to work out, especially with all the things we do in a day. Honestly, we need to make working out a priority....

Girl, sometimes I'd sweat right thru that headband and my hair would still be jacked!
Then, my beautician would tell me not to use it cuz my hair might break off. So, I tried a silk scarf. It helped a little bit. I'd still sweat through it.
For real, you're right, hair is one reason why black women don't work out. My college roomate would wait until she had her hair braided before she would even consider going to the gym. I was the same way, though...we'd sit in our room complaining about our guts and how reminiscing on we used to look in high school, making excuses constantly.
I had to make a conscious decision to make my health a priority and get in shape and eat better. Part of that was deciding to grow out this blasted perm, so I won't have to use hair as an excuse not to go to the gym. Not saying that all black women need to go natural, but I think we should take the necessary steps to be healthy and fit.
