Ladies, how do you wear your hair to the gym

[Misslittlebeast]

Like everyone has already said if I'm squatting its a half way pull through ponytail/bun thing so my hair doesn't get stuck in the bar... Other than that it's a ponytail...

[christina2x]

Usually I'll do a ponytail.

[cactusflower]

Hey all! My hair is pulled up in a messy "bun" - sometimes I don't think it's even a bun - it's more the pineapple look. The feeling of my hair on my neck while working out really bugs me so I have to pull it up . It's either with an elastic or a claw clip if I can fit it all in lol.

[EPolis13]

Bun, pigtails, fishtail braid, or in a long ponytail with little rubber bands going down the entire length. I wear it differently pretty much every day, and it will largely depend on what my training calls for that day.

[MadAlice]

when it's long a pony tail, now it's short so just a head band...

[Lunu]

Pony tail or high messy bun when my hair was long.

It's the shortest it's ever been now and it doesn't all quite fit in a ponytail, so I rock little pigtails lol or have a low pony and some hair out at the front around my face dependent upon what I'm training.

[Bitsibabbit]

I just tangle it up into some sort of bun on top of my head so that it all stays... then spend half an hour unwrapping & de-tangling it when I get home lol.

It's waist-length when it's down atm so if I put it in a pony tail it still touches my back & I don't like that. It's really thick & heavy so if I have it up at all for too long my scalp starts to hurt.

I also like a high messy bun! I think it is actually the best cause it doesn't look like you spent half an hour on it!


I have noticed that some Asian chicks have a really perfect bun. I'm forever envious if there are any Asian chicks on here It'd be really cool if they'd share their secret!

[nitefeatherz]

My hair is super thick and down past my butt. It's long enough that the last time it was in a pony tail it got caught on someone ELSE'S workout when I was walking by. (Oops. Luckily the guy stopped. I was so embarrassed. LOL.)

I do a French braid then wrap the French braid into a bun...but if I am doing anything where I am leaning the back of my head against something bun comes down and it's just the French braid.

I would cut my hair but in a few months it's back at the same length again. I also can't tell you how many times I have had the hair ties snap and go shooting off into the distance. I need 2-3 to keep my hair contained and up. I'm an LVT...hair needs to be up to be out of the body fluids I work with! LOL.

[SilverCeltic9]

Most of the time low pig-tales. Sometimes if I know I'll be working out for awhile or in-between sets I'll braid them. For me it's the best way to keep it easily out of my face and out of the way.And it's super easy. If I do need to do a bun I'll do a two part pony tale with the top half on one tie and then the bottom and the top in the bun.
And if I'm doing fighting then take that last one up a stage, do a two level pony tale, then a messy wrap bun. Stuff kicking off if that happens.

[whatevergirl]

Braids, or a tight bun with a hair band to pull back any strands.

[YesBaby]

Fishtail braid. 100%.

Its secure and keeps everything in place

[Membutterflies]

French braid

Yes! It seems like Asian women always have perfect hair no matter what style. I want all their hair secrets!

[HapaHaoleOkole]

Usually I start out with a bun but if I have to do anything that I am laying on my back then I take it out.

[Summersalt]

I pull my hair under the bra's strap if I don't have hair elastics or a hat with me.
I have very fine hair, usually ends up in a poof on my face.

[latebloomingmom]

on my head...duh

[Bravoiswhiskey]

Asian hair is thick and straight and silky, so you can pull it into a nice ballerina type bun pretty easily. It's absolutely hopeless for anything other than tying back or laying straight, though. It won't hold a curl or any kind of style for more than an hour unless you get a perm (which is what I did, because I was so desperate for body) or douse it in 1950's hairspray. If you want to do the sleek low-neck bun, look into the stretchy nylon hairnets that equestrians and dancers wear. That's what I use when I'm at work. Keeps my hair neat and they're invisible once you put them on. If you style your bun when your hair is damp, it will look neater, also.

Anyway, when I'm working out I braid on one side towards the front. That keeps it away from the bar. I had a ponytail bar-yank once and I learned my lesson. Hats are good for keeping my baby hairs away from my forehead and neck. I can't deal with that wispy touch feeling when I'm sweaty.

[nanimango]

Ponytail. My hair is thick so it stays in place and doesn't flop around.

[euco09]

A messy rushed early morning didn't even look in the mirror pony tail

[mizztism]

on my head...duh

Wouldn't of thought of that one!
Always wear mine in a bun... kind of looks like a pineapple.

[ClassyGirl1]

Loose and low pony tail. I have a lot of hair so a tight or high hair do give me headaches

[DNABabe]

shoulder length mad curls here... so up in a messy bun as high as possible. Pineapple look :-) And then of course spend a good amount of time detangling elastic from curls. So obviously not best technique. Maybe I'll try braids...

[SelenaQPerez]

Ponytail/bun w/ a headband

[ms_mac]

stuffed in a ball cap.

[pWanda]

bun

ponytail my hair would be all over my neck and face while Im sweaty lol I know ew

[roxie411]

i don't care much about my hair, i just don't want it in my face, it is usually in a messy ponytail or a random bunn

[CeliaLifts]

Side braid

[Magnolia916]

Usually a bun or ponytail/loop with the hair halfway pulled through. I hate my hair touching my neck when I'm working out.

This. It's basically just piled on top of my head.

[Cheers00]

I usually get a big hair clip and put it all up. I don't wash my hair every day so I don't want it to touch my face, which gets all sweaty. I don't like ponytails, I can never find good hair elastics!
