    my hair is super long, when i work out i put it in braids and wear a bandana like a biker chick haha

    MY HAIR IN ALL HER GLOOOORRRRRY:

    * ENVIOUS* This is why I am still growing mine even though it's a pain in my *kitten*. Thank you for that hair porn lol!

    Any who I usually throw it up in a messy bun and secure it with 3 pony tail holders... it's naturally curly/fizzy and super thick so if it's not secured really well I can feel it constantly slipping down during my workout and that is too distracting >_< I like the side buns/ponytails but its too heavy to have like that during a workout..... maybe I should just thin it out again /sigh..... The things us gals do for our hair!

    A bun and some pins for the front bit works best for me as I hate it when the ends of my ponytail get sweaty from hitting my back! Or something which looks slightly different, a high ponytail but the last time you are pulling through the band only go halfway so you have a kind of folded tail with the ends still secured if that makes sense?

    I first put my hair in a ponytail and then get a "kerchief" and tie it around to keep any small hairs from getting into my eyes :wink:

    I do this. I have to have the bandana or hair is everywhere. I alternate between a braid down the back or a ponytail. What I hate though is I end up wearing my hair up to work since it's got crimps in it ... Geesh!

    Watching this thread with interest!

    I just have to have it off my neck, cause it gets so sweaty, yuck.

    I like my hair loose when I work out.

    I spent three fricking years in the ARMY with short hair / my hair up. I'm darned if I'm going to put it up now if I don't have to!

    Besides, having an after workout shower is my reward, so I don't worry about sweaty hair :)

    I do this too. And I use a normal rubber band instead of a hair elastic--I know it's bad for your hair but it STAYS!

    love my long hair, but on a long run I get snarls because it's also curly. A bun bounces around too much on my head, so I started doing a pony with two extra hair ties in the middle and the bottom:

    I need new ways to keep my hair up when working out! I have pretty long hair so I can't just wear a ponytail - the ends really bug me :-/

    I wear my hair up in a bun but that's the only way I've found that works for me. I've tried braiding it back but its really the same issue as with ponytails.


    HELP :)

    I love to try new stuff with my hair and when I was performing in a group that sings and dances this worked well.
    And the woman in this video has long and thick hair.

    I use a headband and I do a pony-bun? Basically pull my hair through my scrunchie 2 times but on the third time, I don't pul it all the way through. I will also use a second scrunchie to make it shorter if I want.

    I hate having long hair but I find it is easier to manage than shorter hair. At some point I'll go cut it all off again but for now, it will do.

    My hair is maybe a couple inches longer than yours and I just do a ponytail. I guess it doesn't bother me. When I have it braided, it drives me crazy when working out.

    My hair gets me too hot and in my way when working out so i need it up but I still take a shower after.

    The funny thing is I hate having long hair because my mom forced me to have long hair until she got tired of my begging when I turned 14 to have short hair. I ended cutting it all off. My hair grows fast so I usually have these cycles where I cut it really short then let it grow really long then cut it short again.

    I put mine up in a loosebun then use an octopus clip underneath it. Its the best hold ive had the bun always comes out whwn im doing cardio with the clip holding it up it doesnt move at all and it holds up my fly aways.

    I just pull it back into a low pony tail, I find its the only thing that will hold! It's annoying sometimes... but nothing else stays up, and I hate having to re-adjust my hair mid-workout!

    messy pony-bun with a baseball cap! I just can't keep hair out of my face without a cap, I've tried sport headbands and bobby pins! For me nothing works better than a baseball cap.


    Yup, i just tuck everything under the cap and it's out of the way. The rim also helps with sun and keeps rain off my glasses :happy:
