    We must be twin sisters, cherinyc.

    I had my hair at shoulder length, I was quite sick of it, it was a big mass and a lot of trouble.

    Got a shorter bob cut. It was GREAT for about 12 hours and now it's a mess. I can sort of make something out of the sides (if I spend about 20 minutes blowdrying it) but the back is just poking out in all directions. If I don't blowdry it, the whole thing pokes out everywhere. The only thing I can do to ease the mental pain I have when I look at myself is wear a headband.

    Not a happy camper. I got this haircut for convenience.

    Bottom line is: for me, I think a square cut a bit below my jawline is the way to go for convenience. This doesn't solve your sweat problem... Maybe hope for some cooler days?

    Sorry for venting.

    When my hair was long I would do my post-run or post-ride shower and try to keep the shampoo just on my head. Rinsed that off, then put some of Aveda's very heavy paste conditioner on the ends of my hair (only the ends!) and rinse that off.

    My morning shampoo I did as normal: shampoo everything and a light conditioner on everything.

    (I'm a huge sweat producer, and really need those showers and soap!)

    I just try to plan my showers so they follow my work outs/rides, and before I have to go somewhere. If I'm just hanging out at the house and the ride is in the evening, I'll let my hair dry and take a shower in the morning. My hair doesn't have to look good for hanging out at the house.

    It gets really wet in a pony tail and won't dry for a long long time.

    yeah, I'd forgotten, but that's just what I used to do when I had long hair (below the waist). Even when I only had one shower a day, the ends only got shampoo once or twice a week.
