After a hard workout in the gym today, I looked at myself in the changing room mirror, and was horrified!! I had sweat everywhere, my face for bright red and my fringe (bangs) was plastered to my head. Girls - how do you stay looking at least half decent in the gym whilst working really hard???????

    You don't. That's what you look like when you do it right.

    Don't worry about how you look, if you are working hard enough to look bad then you are burning calories.

    No possible way to do... you are either there to workout or to look cute you can't do both.

    Not looking to get laid, but I just seem to be the only one looking a mess!

    Well if you want to look like them, work out like them. Which is to say, you wouldn't be working out at all.

    If you want a true response other then "That is how you are supposed to look if your working hard" get a headband to hold the bangs back. I always have mine pinned back with a headband or barrett and its not about looking good it is because they annoy the hell out of me when stuck to my forehead or sticking straight up.

    Honestly wouldn't worry about it too much, but you can get some no-slip headbands to hold your bangs away from your face so they don't get all sweaty and stick to your face!

    I'm not there to impress anyone. If you look as perfect going out as you did going in, then you didn't work out.

    don't worry about it!!! That's the best part about the gym.

    Twist your bangs back and clip on sides, if headband slides off. Pull hair back into tight pony tail and wear some tinted moisturizer and waterproof mascara! Invest in some good quality workout clothing, like Lululemon or Lucy and you'll look great and burn calories!

    ^This. Or use a clip for your bangs.

    It's not a fashion show.

    I use a headband, but that's just because having my bangs flop in my face annoys me. I also leave red & sweaty, but I don't mind. I actually kind of love work out sweat. It helps me feel like I've accomplished something (although maybe those are endorphin induced hallucinations).
