    My hair is in a ponytail 24/7. I get hot otherwise & hate it. No way on earth I'd have it down at the gym

    Always up in a high ponytail, with my fringe pulled back with a hairband.

    I'm amazed by girls who can go for kickboxing class with their long hair let down, dangly earrings, bracelets, rings and even a full face of makeup O.O

    I always put my hair up in a ponytail when I go to the gym but I actually like my hair down when I go for a swim.

    I have tried working out on the treadmill with my hair down, but it's hard. Constantly having to tuck my hair behind my ears. Really not worth it if you ask me.

    My excuse for not working out was ' my long thick hair'. So in August I cut it all off.. Now it's a cute 'fro... By the time I lose the weight I want my hair will be long again.. Headband and Afro is my hairstyle!!

    Oh you betcha! In fact, I grew my bangs out, in part, because I was sick of sweaty bangs sticking to my face, lol!

    Always wear a pony tail while working out. Not only that, but when I get my haircut, I make sure the stylist cuts it in such a way that in spite of any layers, it can go fully up in a pony tail.

    Forgot to pack a pony tail holder the other week, it was awful. I kept trying to tie it in a knot or around my bluetooth headband, but it would never stay more than 5 min. I now have an arsenal of them in my gym bag, I'll never forget again!

    I'm a bit over gyms atm but I still try and go for a 30 minute walk most days (burning about, oh, 10 calories) and I would never leave my hair down. Sweat ruins a blowdry pretty much instantly and I'm not coordinated enough to repair the damage myself. I'd basically be a mess of frizz every day if I didn't have my hair elastics.

    Yep, in a ponytail all the time. Because of my current job, it has always been up and in a bun. I have no idea what to do with it when I wear it down.

    At the gym, in a ponytail and if I can catch my middle child in a good mood, sometimes she braids the ponytail for me.

    I try to but it's shoulder length and won't all go back. It is driving me nuts so I'm going to get it all cut off ;-) Well, most of it, anyway.

    I just went to a new stylist and made sure to emphasize that the hair has to go in a ponytail without pieces coming out. I hate using clips on the side. Definitely goes up when I am in the gym. I've done some walks outside with it down, usually on cooler days when there's a nice breeze. I work in a delivery room, so I'm used to the hair up on a regular basis. If I didn't hate my forehead, I'd use a headband for the bangs too.

    I used to always put my hair up before a workout, but then I got a mohawk. Now I'm kind of either/or. It still goes down to my butt, however, without hair on the sides, it doesn't seem to flow over my shoulder or get in my way like it used to.

    I leave it down. It makes it easier when people ask to touch it or smell it.
