Managing Oily Scalps in Humid Conditions

Product Selection Strategies

• Choose water-soluble gels that wash out easily with cold water after the climb.
• Avoid heavy silicones that attract dust and chalk particles, creating a gritty mess.
• Use dry shampoo to absorb excess sebum between washes to keep hair slick.

Practical Application Hacks

• Secure hair with a tight braid or low bun before applying climbing chalk.
• Wear a breathable headband to catch falling powder and prevent sweat dripping.
• Rinse hair with a diluted vinegar solution to balance scalp pH and reduce oil production.

Control over your hairline is essential for maintaining focus during technical sequences.
