    Never. Ponytail, braid or bun for me.

    There is no way I could. Even if I have my hair in a low pony it seems to trap heat and make me that much more sweaty. I sometimes choose to leave me hair down for a yoga class but even then it can get in the way.

    o gawd yes :laugh:
    I only started doing it recently and wondered why the hell I didn't do it before:noway: It was comfortable and boy was it great not to have sweaty unattractive bangs in my face. No matter how I moved them, they still looked stupid :grumble:

    Now I pull it all up & pin it down, when I wear it curly, I leave bangs because the more I sweat & steam, the prettier they are. :laugh:

    wait....I mean I put it up not wear it down :blushing:

    When I exercise I leave my hair down sometimes, depends on how cold/hot I am and how much I'm sweating. If I'm doing walking or weights, I leave it down, it doesn't get in my way doing those activities. If I'm doing some sort of circuit training/fast paced cardio where it will def be flying around, I'll ponytail it.

    Too funny!! I'm a Spin instructor and I'm always soaked with sweat after class. I could never have my hair down. One of the other instructors teaches with her hair down and glasses on. I don't think it's possible to work really hard and keep your hair down :)

    I always wear it up. I saw a girl with her hair down at the gym the other day and it really did seem like a hindrance. Pretty sure she didn't want to let it get sweaty... during a workout. :noway:

    up always up. I love a messy bun. I feel like it looks sexy and it doesn't get in my way.

    If I went to a gym, I'd wear a ponytail. It's only gotten long enough to tie back this year.

    I always put it in pigtails, its just the most comfortable for me.. plus its way cuter than a pony tail...





    edit: I cannot STAND working out with my hair down,its like wearing a sweaty hot blanket on my neck! pigtails also give a nice breeze to the back of your head

    I wouldn't be able to see if I left it down.

    No way. There's so much sweat and bacteria at gyms esp. because not everyone wipes down equipment. I shower when I get home but, since I walk and it takes 20 min, I don't want gross stuff lingering in there.

    Yes, and I have to sleep with it up, too. Drives me crazy to have it on my neck when I'm trying to sleep.

    It's okay to let your hair down once in a while.

    any exercise I do except walking, I pretty much have to have it secured in some way. It is long enough to sit on so it would definitely be in my way with a work out. I can't imagine leaving it down.
