I was thinking about using that to clean between my braids after work outs, but I wasn't sure if it would be too drying.

I am also a yogi and I also workout frequently. My scalp sweats while working out and this is one of the reasons why I went natural (BC Jul 09). I started washing my hair once a week in the fall for fear of it drying out during the winter and soon after I developed folliculitus. The itching was unbearable and I washed my hair after every work out and along with medication it began to clear up. However, people have been telling me that I wash my hair to frequently. This is why I am glad to find your recommendations. I think it just depends on the person. Weekly washing isn't working for my scalp. Frequent co-wash and/or washing, Qhemet Biologics AOHC along with weekly DCs have been working for me so far. Thank you for this information. I am also a yogi and I also workout frequently.

I'm an active natural who run on the treadmill, bikes around town, lifts heavy weights, and sweats ALOT. My hair, after any wash, including a no-poo is EXTREMELY dry...so much so that it takes a few days it seems like for the hair to snap back to a proper level of moisture. I know this is anecdotal, but a few years ago i took a micro class. The teacher had us all swab our hair and see what grew, after a few days i took mine out and there was virtually NO microbial growth on the plate what-so-ever. Everybody elses hair, white or black,..had a disgusting amount of growth on it. At that time I had not washed my hair for at least two weeks, more like a month. It also stays fresh because of the products i use, and the antibacterial properties in some. (Carol's Daughter) My hair also takes FOREVER, to dry, even with a blow dryer. I also have very thin wiry strands, but it's so densely packed that it's a pain to have to wash and dry, and de-tangle like that everyday. (nearly everyday with workouts) And thus far i've had no bad comments about the smell of my hair, you only smell fresh herbs. Honestly , that sounds like too much washing for me.

It's nice to have fresh hair.. I'm leaning more and more towards rinsing, putting in a few twists over night and rocking a slightly messy but still cute shrunken kinda fro. I'll add in accessories if I'm feelin it..but I don't think we should stop doing anything because of our hair..natural or not natural. Yay for fellow yogis! :)
