Working out with dreads installed?

[pixychick]

what do y'all do about working out with dreads? So I just installed my wool dreads and went to the gym today and well my head was sweating like no other. Can I shower or should I just spray that dry shampoo on?

thanks yeah I read that on and that kind of helps.,But i have WOOL(eep) dreads in and I am scared that I'll start smelling. its my first time ever wearing installs and my first time ever wearing wool dreads as well. Also I just wanted to find out what needs to be done or if since I am going to be woking out from now on hopefully everyday if wearing installs is even possible.

i just rinse the roots/scalp really well

How did i not think of that!
I wash with installs just be prepared for the weight, its hard to just get to your scalp so alot of hair gets wet.
And of course make sure they dry out. I normally use the hair dryer no the lowest setting.
