How to Wear Your Hair to the Gym

Wearing your hair in a ponytail at the gym works well.

There's nothing worse than hitting the toughest part of your spin class or the highest peak on the elliptical trainer at the gym when your hair starts to fall in your face. Thankfully, there are some effective ways to combat this issue, which include using a few strong hair bands and clips that will stay in place and endure a tough workout. There are a handful of hairstyles that will keep hair away from your face and off your neck, allowing you to sweat your heart out during your next workout at the gym.

Things You'll Need

• Ponytail holder
• Bobby pins
• Plastic hair clip or claw

Instructions

1. Sweep hair up into a high ponytail and secure it with a ponytail holder. Secure it tightly, so it stays in place. This keeps hair out of your face and off your neck and is therefore appropriate for aerobics classes and cardio workouts.

2. Braid hair into two braids or one long braid down your back. This keeps hair away from your face. If you have long bangs that get in your way, you can create mini braids with your bangs and pin them back with bobby pins during your workout.

3. Brush hair back into a low ponytail at the nape of your neck and secure with a ponytail holder. This is appropriate for weight workout training because the hair won't get in the way of the weight machines.

4. Sweep hair up in a simple updo. Brush hair into a high ponytail and secure it with a ponytail holder. Twist the hair in the ponytail around itself and clip it with a plastic claw or hair clip. This is suitable for any workout where there is alot of motion and movement. The hair stays in place very close to the head.
