I have long, heavy hair too, and swear by a high pony with a bun, and a headband. The higher the pony, the less your hair pulls downward when you run.
I hate hate hate how it feels when I sweat and my hair gets damp. ICK
That feeling of taking your hair down and tussling it after a good workout is my favorite. Amazeballs. Scalpgasm.
Oh God I know, when I take my hair down after working out it's like the most amazing feeling ever!!0 -
I have really long hair (down to my waist) and when I work it I put it into a ponytail and then plait the ponytail (hope that makes sense) and it stops the hair from sticking to my back.0
-
I throw it up in a big messy bun or wear a hat (although I hate a hat when I am really sweaty because it makes my head itch)......what I worry about is having to wash it after each session because my hair is soaked in sweat. WIth all the processing I have in it, I really don't want ot make it even drier than it is......I wish I had the problem of my hair being too thick to stay up....I have like 4 hairs on my head since I had my last baby. They need to warn us about that before having kids...just sayin! God, I hope it grows back0

Lately, I have been putting it in a Kim K bun. It is kinda tight....:grumble:
But when I put it in a ponytail it has gotten so long...it smacks me in the face when I get wild and crazy teaching my Zumba class.0 -
I have super long hair so usually a bun. if its chilly a ponytail or pigtails.0
-
I cannot wait to try this!!!!! Thanks!0 -
This was an issue I was battling with. It wasn't long enough to be heavy, but pony tails gave me headaches and I couldn't stay it touching my face or neck. One day, I got fed up with it and just had it cut off. Nice and short now. I know that's not an option for everyone, but man it helped me.0

I pull mine up into a high messy bun and then I put one of thos elastic bands around my head to keep my short bands up and spray it. I have pretty intense workouts and it stays up. Plus it is easy!
^^^^ this.
if I do a pony tail it sticks to my neck, if I do anything tight like a braid I get a super bad headache because my scalp is super sensitive, the bun keeps it tight and away without giving me a headache, and if a few pieces of hair fall out ti's okay, it looked messy from the beginning :P0 -
:happy: Messy bun on top of my head and a hairband!0

I actually never heard about hair thinning after kids! My hair's pretty much been the exact same thickness wise since I was a little kid (I have a 5 year old). Blessing and a curse I suppose, because it can be a real pain in the *kitten*0 -
Also have super long, super thick hair. I prefer it in a high, tight pony tail. but I have trouble finding good enough hair things to keep it up while I run. Pig tails work if I only have bad hair things lol. My hair is also layered so simple braids fall out quickly. I wish I knew how to french braid. That would be ideal. I'm really bad at girly things. I have to keep it off my neck so it doesn't get gross from sweat. I only wash it a couple times a week.0

I usually wear a hat when I run...with the ponytail out of the hole in the back. And my hair touches the back of my neck too when I start sweating...so I'll braid it. I can't wear those headband thingys...either my head is too small or shaped funny because no more than 2 minutes of wearing it, it's slipping back and slides off. I've tried so many....
Other than a hat....a bun or a doubled up ponytail.
I am glad to know I'm not the only one that has trouble with headbands.0 -
I just do a french braid, holds up pretty well0
-
I'm a proponent of the single or double french braid, and to remedy the headache thing, I just don't braid them TOO too tight. Just a smidge tight. *shrug*0
-
When I run in a race, I do two pigtails, lower on the sides of my head. This keeps the sweaty hair off my neck.
When I workout regularly, I make a pony and then loop it halfway back through. You know, make the motion of wrapping the elastic but don't pull the pony all the way through.0 -
I have long thick hair and usually tie it in a super tight bun with a headband when I'm on the treadmill.
^^This
It keeps my hair from bouncing and swinging around. It's just too heavy to handle sometimes. But I've found that a tight bun keeps it off my neck and shoulders (way too hot), which drives me nuts when I'm working out.
Same.0 -
Mine is long and black and I live in Florida... It just depends on what mood I'm in as to what style I wear.
I have ran with it down and other than it sticking to sweat (which is a little annoying) it actually keeps my
head alot cooler (which is very nice). my favorite way to wear it though is one braid (regular or fish) with
a band at top and bottom then my favorite spiked not tight headband.0 -
I do a bun when I'm gonna work hard and sweat a lot. If I'm just walking, I will do a ponytail and occasionnally even leave it down.0
-
I cannot wait to try this!!!!! Thanks!
I love them! its supre easy too.. Youtube has tutorials... Also, if you do a sock bun when its wet, when you take it out dried, it leave beautiful curls0 -
I actually just workout with my hair down0
-
I have a chin length bob, so wearing it up is not an option. I usually just go as is, or I might wear a ballcap.0
-
just a quick thought, if the only thinbg wrong with the pony tail is it getting your neck hot+sweaty, can you put it in a ponytail, and jaw clip it up? like this0
-
A half-ponytail on top to catch my bangs, then one big ponytail to catch it all, or just a pony with bobby pins to keep bangs back. Can't stand headbands.0
-
Those of you with thick, long hair who do buns....how do you get it to stay in while working out? Are you running or doing something simliar?0
-
I have the same problem and I too pull my hair back in a pony. I get headaches so bad and i just cut it all off recently. But now I'm trying topull it back still but instead of pulling it all the way through I just pull it halfway so its not touching my back. But you gotta use a good ponytail holder or you'll be fixing it repeatedly0
-
when my hair became that much trouble & work, I whacked it off & haven't looked back. I LOVE my short hair. NO hassles, save a ton on shampoo & products and it's cheaper to color. It takes me less than 10 mins to dry & style my hair and my arms NEVER get tired.
If you MUST have long hair gonna have to take the work, headaches & aggravation that comes with it. me? I'd rather spend a few bucks on extensions or a wig for the few occasions that I want to wear my hair long. I wore long, curly hair for over 20 years, and many times ended the day in a pony-tail. After a motorcycle ride, even with braids, it would take me at least an hour to untangle it. I'll never understand why I waited so long to go short.0 -
I just put mine up into a high bun.. I get annoyed when it falls down again though:/ Sometimes a high ponytail but my sister says I look like a tennis player.. rude:/ lol.0
-
I have to have it in a messy bun or it falls out or annoys me0

I have long thick hair and usually tie it in a super tight bun with a headband when I'm on the treadmill.
this.. put your hair in a mid to high pony. twist the pony until its a tight rope, wrap the rope around your pony tail until its all up around there. secure with a scrunchy (wrapped 2x around your bun) when my hair was long (i'm 5'8 and could stick the ends in my butt pockets ).... its VERY THICK i have a double crown and enough hair for 2 people i used to do it like this... and it wouldnt move no matter what i did (except sleep on it)0 -

Google sock buns. It holds the hair really well. I used to have hair down to my butt, and would sock bun and it stayed perfect.0
