Keeping your hair out of your face can be challenge at the
gym, so here we have come up with some chic styles to keep your hair under
control and out of the way.
Simple
Braided Ponytail
This simple style is easy and pretty, and takes just seconds
to do. To get this look, pull your hair up into a high ponytail, and secure
with a snag free fabric hair tie. Make sure the ends of your hair are smooth
and brushed through, and then plait the length of the ponytail before securing
with another hair tie. For an updated take on this, try doing a fishtail braid
instead of an ordinary one. This looks effortless, and will keep your hair off
your face throughout your workout.
Low Bun
Create a low, messy bun to frame your face while you
exercise. To do this, create a deep side parting instead of slicking the hair
back. This is more flattering for your face, and can help you to cover any female
hair loss at the side or back of your head. Pull hair back loosely at the nape
of your neck, and twist your hair round into a messy bun before securing with a
hair band. Spray with hairspray to keep shorter hairs at the front from falling
down, and you’re ready to go.
Sweat Band
Sweat bands are a useful accessory to keep hair off your
face, while also absorbing sweat to stop your scalp from overheating or
becoming saturated. Sweat can block the pores in your scalp, resulting in female
hair loss. This style is good for those with thin hair as the headband lifts
the hair at the crown, giving it the illusion of volume and thickness. After
your workout, spray dry shampoo along your crown and roots to freshen up your
hair. This also makes hair appear thicker due to the ingredients in the spray.
Half Up,
Half Down
Go half and half with this easy style that will keep hair off
your face, while still leaving some of the hair down for a feminine look. Pull
the top of your hair into a high ponytail, secure with a ponytail and you’re
ready to go. Alternatively, twist the top half of your hair into a bun on top
of your head, while leaving the rest of your hair down.
Crossover
Pony
You can add elegance to your ponytail with this crossover
design. Simply separate two sections of hair on either side of your parting
before pulling back the rest of your hair into a low, sleek ponytail. Brush the
two pieces of hair back, and crisscross them over the base of the ponytail
until you get to the end of the pieces of hair, before securing the ends
underneath the ponytail with bobby pins out of sight. Spray a touch of
hairspray if needed to keep fine hairs in place.
Braided
Pigtails
This slightly more complicated style looks fabulous in the
gym as well as on a day out shopping. For an easier approach, split your hair
into a centre parting and then tie up one side out of the way. Start with the
other side and pull it into a classic braid before securing with a hair tie.
Repeat on the other side. For a more detailed look try out Dutch braid pigtails
which have become increasingly popular in recent months.
Bunched
Ponytail
For a quick twist on a normal ponytail, slick your hair up
into a high ponytail and secure with a band. Then, bunch your hair up in
between to add a bubble effect. This will keep hair in place, while making your
hair look thicker. This looks equally good on a night out, where hair can be
styled with a pomp at the front to add height and drama to your hair.
