My hair is long enough for a decent ponytail, but I have longer sideswept fringe. SO annoying when they get in my face (or when I wear a headband-tickle my ears.

How do you pin back your fringe when you're running etc

    Usually with the sweat that builds up on my head. It sticks it right back, haha. Seriously, I stopped caring about cute hair and am concentrating on rocking body now.

    I'm growing my hair back out now from being bald, so I look completely awful in the gym or when I'm running. If I'm in a particularly self-conscious mood, I throw on a ball cap.

    Sometimes I put on a bandana. I'd do a headband, but they're too tight and give me a headache. When my hair was really long, I pulled it into a bun and used the bandana.

    I don't care about cute. I'm going to get very sweaty and then wash it when I'm done, anyway.

    I either rock a cute hat, a bandana, or I sometimes braid the front...I really dont care if it looks that cute as I am there to workout not attract others! plus the hat puts me incognito so I can workout not socialize!

    Hey I figure I already look scary enough whilst huffing and puffing around the gym. The least I can do is keep my fringe out of my sweat

    Love the braid idea. Will try later

    I gave up on cute a long time ago (I work out at home or run outside), but I've twisted my bangs and pinned them to the side, kind of like LC's braid, but easier.

    My sweat works like hair gel basically, keeps it all slicked down.

    When I first started running I cut all my hair off.

    Failing that, kirby grip it out your face and get on with it.

    I have the same problem, and, for some reason (I must have a weird-shaped head, too), hair bands won't stay on when I am running.

    I usually do 2 pony tails (a little one closer to the front, on top of my head, to hold the bangs, which then goes into a regular one in the back) or I use snap clips (not barrettes/kind of like a paper clip for hair) just to hold my bangs.

    Is this question serious?


    Generally, when I'm busting my hump and working up a sweat, I give not one single crap about how my hair looks.

    Just two bobby pins criss-crossed. Either pull bangs to one side, or draw them straight back. They stay!

    Cute hair for the gym? What? You are going to be sweating and perhaps getting some serious swass (sweaty *kitten*) and you are worried about your hair? Ugh. Go get a fckn hairband.
    What's next, makeup?!

    Why are you so angry? She said it's annoying how it gets in her face, and needs a fix. Who cares if she wants it to look cute?

    I don't care what your hair looks like when I'm busting your hump either.

    Braid works like a charm. We'll see how it holds up later.
    BTW looking cute does not = a bad workout. I run 8 minute miles (not as fast as I'd like but it beats the pants off of where I was before I had a baby, @11 min miles)

    One of my resolutions was to be girlier :)

    who cares about cute hair at the gym? i am there to get my sweat on and not to make sure my hair is not out of place.

    use a clip to pin it back if it bothers you that much.

    I'm gonna go ahead and recommend some of you change your tampons! Goodness ladies. You don't care, I do. Why are you hating for?
    Your attitude is FABULOUS.

    Can't tell if your being facetious. Lol. Just wanted hair ideas, not to get penalized because I like to look nice.

    I have those short fringes too. I usually pull mine back with a bobby pin to one side and make a little poof. The rest blends into my ponytail. It's usually something like this, with less of a poof in the front and not quite as neat! lol

    I honestly don't see the need for the anger lol, but that's how some people are I suppose. I bought a pack of around 6 head bands from the dollar tree. All are skinny except one, that one is wide and its this spandex material so it doesn't seem to give me a headache which is good.

    For me the braid wouldn't work on somedays when I am jumping more but bobby pins are awesome as well.. Many good ideas floating around here!
