Hitting the gym doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style for function. Whether you’re powering through a cardio session or lifting weights, your hair should complement your workout, not complicate it. Here are some cute and hassle-free hairstyles that will keep your locks secure and out of your face.
The Braided Bun
The braided bun is a stylish and practical choice for the gym. Start with a basic braid and then twist it into a bun at the nape of your neck or at the back of your crown. Secure it with bobby pins or a thick hair tie. This hairstyle keeps your hair tightly in place.
The Bubble Ponytail
For a playful twist on the traditional ponytail, try the bubble ponytail. Pull your hair back into a high ponytail, then add elastic bands every two to three inches down the length of your ponytail, fluffing out each section to create “bubbles.” An energetic and fun look!
Boxer Braids
This style involves creating two tight Dutch braids that start at the front and go all the way down to the nape of the neck. They’re ideal for keeping your hair out of your face and neck, and they work well under a cap or hat if you’re running outdoors.
