I keep a shorter business hair cut and run water through my hands and try to rinse my hair a bit, then wipe my head with a paper towel. I keep it pretty simple.
This is good advice about planning for enough time for a cool down.
I live just far enough from work that I have a nice slow(ish) easy ride in to try and avoid the sweat issue. Lately It's been just hot and humid enough that I'll hit the employee entrance mostly dry.....but if I don't have a cool down time, I've kicked in my metabolism and really start sweating when I get inside with no air moving.
Today I cut it close and was still sweating when I changed clothes (yuck). Luckily, I have a 10" electric fan under my desk and managed to be relatively dry when I had to go out front and deal with patrons.
Showering before your commute can help eliminate stink.
