Ok.. so, I've been trying to not wash my hair everyday because it dries out if I do.. However, I feel like I sweat a lot through my head and feel like i need to wash it. Is there anything i can do? thanksss

Keep in mind that shampoos at every price point are moisturizing if you get the right one. One of my favorite shampoos is 88 cents!
I try not to wash my hair every day because:
- I dye my hair very rarely and like the color to stay in longer.
- I hate washing my hair and restyling it.
Whenever possible I go a day and a half between washes. Or two days, if I'm not going anywhere - I'll tie my hair up when I shower.
Most likely, you could get away with every other day washes; most people can, once their hair adjusts. Or just rinse your hair out, without using shampoo. Do a little experimentation and decide what works for you.
Another possible solution is dry shampoo. I'm not 100% crazy about it but it works wonders for some people. They're pretty cheap for some brands (Tresemee and Suave both make them now) and do their job.
Also, I've noticed that my hair feels sweaty/icky/generally gross only around my face after I work out. Try tying the front part of your hair up (or at least pinning bangs back) when you're sweating/working out. I use bands like this when I work out at the gym:

(DON'T pay that much for them, you can get them for less than $5 or so, or even at a dollar store!)
