Hair wax and bjj

[hotborsh]

Hey guys, to those of you who use hair wax, do you always wash your head before going to a bjj class? I started growing my hair and use hair wax everyday, but i wash it off before bjj, wouldn't want it to get on the mat/gi/other people's face or hands.

For those of you who have long hair, do you just put them in a knot? I'm no where to use a knot on my hair, but i will be there in a few months.

Depending on your hair, you might be able to use hair spray instead, it doesn't rub off in the same way.

having long hair and grappling is a bitch, I just have it in a "man bun" most annoying part is when you just can't wipe the sweat off your head like somebody with short hair or a skin head can.

Never tryed hair spray, might actually try it.

Couple guys at our gym have dreads. Not fun for anyone involved.

I'd expect that hair gel would get washed out when you start to work up a good sweat. Kinda weird/gnarly but what can you do?

Petroleum based pomades FTMFW.

Just make sure it's not an alcohol based spray. Sweat + hairspray running in your eyes burns.

Some visitor I trained with a few weeks back had some kind of shit on his hair, gel or whatever. When he sweated it ran out and made his collar so slippy it was impossible to grasp. That's cheating IMO

This is almost worth growing out hair. There's nothing in the rules against hair products.

People complain about gel and wax, but grease seems to be fine.

You could just wash your hair before training.

What the heck is hair wax? Do you mean Jerricurl? The 80s are long gone.

I use coconut oil in my hair and I only have one guy that complains about it but he complains about everything.

Has anyone competed against anyone with a huge amount of thick dreads, I assume it would make it much more difficult to grab the collar and/or hit chokes???

Just grab a dreadlock and do a loop choke with it. They should have done this in Marked for Death starring Steven Seagal

If they have long hair and aren't tieing it back during training, it's their fault when it gets torn out by accident. And I say this as someone with long hair.

 

[Tori Applegate]

If they have dreads and they're long enough to pull back they def should. It would be courteous anyways. I would say to rinse the gel out. We used to have a guy that trained with us and he used pomade(not the same as hair wax, but similar) and I always got it all over my hands and if he sweated and it dripped in my eyes, it wasn't pleasant in the least. :-/

True. I would hate to compete against someone like that though in a tournament, unless they would have to put their hair back.

 

[StevieSparkZ]

The guy who introduced me to the gym told me to wash gel out of my hair before training in order to be considerate to others. I thought that was standard.

i use freeze hair gel in my hair, and no one complains. holds my hair in place hard.
id rather roll with someone using gel than not, and having it down the back of my throat while rolling, fucking bugs me when i end up with hair in my mouth rolling, balding fucks lol
