Hair Concerns May Discourage Exercise for Some Black Women
December 17, 2012 By Alan Mozes
For black women, a desire to protect expensive and often fragile hairstyles
can be a barrier to exercise, new research suggests.
The finding is gleaned from responses to a small poll conducted among
roughly 100 U.S. black women. The upshot: At one time or another, about 40
percent said they have avoided running, swimming and other gym-related
endeavors out of concern for their hairdo.
Pricey and complicated hair issues did appear to tamp down on the will to
exercise. For example, 62 percent of women said they typically had their
hair chemically relaxed, a time-consuming process known to increase hair
fragility, particularly during washing. Many also engaged in multiple forms
of hair care practices -- involving various combinations of chemical
relaxers, braiding, flat ironing and wigs -- that led them to limit hair-
washing to once a week or every other week.
Perhaps as a consequence, more than half said they often grappled with scalp
issues, including itching and hair breakage, while flaking and scaling
affected nearly a third. And nearly a third responded that the sweating and
humidity that comes with physical activity aggravates scalp problems such as
itching.
For his part, Gary Bennett, an associate professor of psychology, global
health and medicine in department of psychology at Duke University,
suggested that such hairstyle adjustments could be key.
"This is a serious issue," he said. "Those of us who have worked in black
communities have observed this for a long time, and there aren't many easy
answers."
