Our heart goes out to all those sisters who are listening to the Surgeon General who told them that black women need to exercise.  Protecting your hair at the cost of your health has become deadly for all of us, and we have to do things better.  But what do you do when every sweat at the gym has you going home looking like Buckwheat?  You protect your hair and your health, that’s what you do.

Maria Lloyd at NaturallyMoi.com gives three tips on how you can protect your hair when you go to the gym.  It’s a great way for you to work off that extra fat to keep yourself looking fly from both the neck up and the waist down.   We do know that you can be beautiful and healthy at the same time, if you dare to try.  No offense to Buckwheat.  Says Maria Lloyd on NaturallyMoi.com:
