You need to make sure you are cleansing the hair and neutralizing the pH of the sweat being left on the hair and scalp. The salts and proteins in sweat can break down as they dry becoming acidic and can result in drying out the hair and sometimes irritating the scalp. Even in the best of cases, unless you do something to remove the sweat build-up after a workout, you can have some pretty bad odors as a result.



Another idea for dealing with post-workout hair is to use light spray oil shine enhancers with a pleasant fragrance to "freshen" the hair. Some makers even have new hair freshening sprays for people who work in polluting environments to help them eliminate the problem odors from working in bars and restaurants and other places where there are specific smells associated with the locale.
