I have long hair and I put it in a pony tail but when I work out, but it gets all tangled and nasty from me sweating so much and moving around because I do a lot of burpies and jumping squats, and things like that...
What do you do with your hair when you workout??

    Pony Tail. Sometimes I put a clear glaze in it when I work out and then wash it out afterwards. Or I just use Moroccan oil after the gym to make my hair "pretty" again.

    Sometimes if my hair is really being obnoxious, I'll put it in a ponytail, and then braid the ponytail. Be careful though that crap can be a potential weapon. People used to do that in soccer all the time and I swear it was deadly lol

    My hair is mid bottom length. I have to put it in a braid, bun, or pony or it risks getting caught in exercise equiptment. My favorite is probably a single braid. A bun makes my head more sweaty.

    Sock bun. I have waist length hair, and this keeps it nice and neat.

    A bun or a braid works best

    My hair is just getting to shoulder-length. I've been trying to let it grow for 25 years and could never get past the too-short-to-be-long-but-too-long-to-be-short stage. I'm almost there. I've very sad with every hair that falls out or gets broken, so I'm rather careful about what to do with it. Sometimes I let it fly so the commuters driving past can get a good look at this old lady with gray hair race- walking or slogging or whatever I'm doing. This morning I put it in a French braid. Other times I do two topsy-tails - one at the crown to get my chin-length bangs and another at the nape of my neck.

    I have a side fringe that doesnt reach a pony tail. grrr! so i braid my fringe over the top of my head and then put the rest of my hair into a bun at the back. just like a pony but only pulled halfway through. it works and its easy to redo in the middle of a workout if it starts to fall out and get in my eyes.

    A bun works for me, usually start it like a pony high up on my head then wrap it around itself and loop the band around it again., twice if it's really stretched out.

    I just pull mine back in a pony. I deal with it later :happy: (as you can see by my prof pic, I have very long, very crazy hair. During workouts it does tend to get in the way but I'm so accustomed to brushing it aside it's just second nature, now)

    You can pony it, then use several hairbands down the length of the pony. It will contain it a lot better. Not stylish, but it will work.

    sock bun or if your hair is long enough, the sock bun without a sock (looks like it has a sock in it but doesnt)

    or get a big claw clip and twist it up

    I either braid my hair or do it in a 'tiered' ponytail.

    sometimes i put the end of the tiered ponytail in my top so that it doesn't swish from side to side too much.. which annoys me.

    My hair is uber long-it's down to my butt. I wrap it in a Cinnabun (easy twist wrap -you can find tutorial on YouTube) and use metal hair sticks to hold it (my favorite sticks are pricey but I swear by them because they are thin metal sticks--so comfy). I've tried everything (absolutely) and this is my #1 style and my #1 hair tool it stays put during rigorous exercises from aerobics to running. Everything else falls out or is annoying and ends up disrupting my workout.

    ETA I know this wasn't the question but overusing hair bands will damage your hair if you use them in the same place repeatedly. If you use elastic bands at the very least use non metal bands if possible (unless breakage is not a concern for you). Sticks are much better for your hair and can be used on surprisingly short hair.

    I put it in a sock bun and make sure to use plenty of bobby pins and hairspray so that it stays put when I'm active.
