do you put your hair up when you go to the gym?

beadalicious · March 2013

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've always done a ponytail. Otherwise it gets in my way

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.

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.

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 always put my hair up, but Sunday I was running late for Zumba and forgot my ponytail holder-boy was that a mistake!!

Factory_Reset · March 2013

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

Skernan1644 · March 2013

Always up in a pony tail. No way I could leave it down.

bannedword · March 2013

Goes up for most stuff. But not for zumba.

Gusman14 · March 2013

Hair down. Glasses on!

TrailRunner61 · March 2013

Not unless I want my hair stuck to my neck & face. Never. IMO, anyone who doesn't isn't there to work out.

JoanB5 · March 2013

I have short hair and still have to clip the front out of my face or it drives me crazy. I keep it short to make it easier to care for after workouts, honestly.

bellaa_x0 · March 2013

my hair is always up at the gym.. i never understand the women who work out with their hair down! well yes actually i do - they are never doing anything that requires them to break a sweat! (at least at my gym)

chrislynn_marie · March 2013

I hateeee the feeling of sweaty, sticky hair on the back of my neck! It's a distraction for me, so yeah, my hair is always in a pony tail or a bun

EpitomeOfSxy · March 2013

I leave my hair down but I don't have much of a choice because it's a bob cut. Once it grows out though, I will be putting it up again.

BabyCerise · March 2013

Ponytail for me too ! Hair is useless during the gym

LizardQueen4PointOh · March 2013

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

This is totally what I pictured! :laugh:

Up in a half pulled through pony bun, personally.

AmandaW01 · March 2013

I always have my hair up when I'm working out - I can't stand the feeling of it heavy on my neck when I'm getting sweaty - yuck! I'm in a high ponytail or messy bun every time - it looks dreadful but I don't care, I'm there to work out and get messy not to go to a fashion show (unlike one girl at my gym who reached down off of the bike, took a brush out of her bag and proceeded to brush her hair.... the whole gym watched in astonishment :-))

You have a butt length mohawk?? Bad *kitten*. Pics or it didn't happen :P

mummyzena · March 2013

I have really long, thick, wavy hair so would be a nightmare so it's piled on top of my head in a messy bun or pigtails if my hair is wet. :-)

_mrsgigi_ · March 2013

Only when i forget my hair tie =( lol.. :sad:

ThisGirl2013 · March 2013

I left my hair down once. Once. *lol* I don't have long hair so I have to do pig tails or ponytail with bobbypins.

cole_ashleyy · March 2013

oh god i would die!! there so much of it! always a pony tail

Elegra2006 · March 2013

All up, every last bit of it, I have really thick hair and I can't even stand it being in a pony-tail as find it still sticks to my neck. I have it in the most unattractive bun thing, and also kirby-grip back all my fringe as I find even a whisp of hair in my face while I exercise drives me insane!!

If I'm feeling like I want to make an effort then I might put it up in a pleated ponytail but that's few and far between!

I really cannot understand when I see girls with really long, thick hair running on treadmills etc in the gym, that must be horrendous! I even get freaked out with seeing people with floppy fringes exercising!!

lithezebra · March 2013

It's in the way whether it's up or down. I've been leaving it down, but we've had warm weather lately, so it may be time to put it up.

queenbee47340 · March 2013

Yes, I always wear my hair up. my neck is soo much cooler. I also noticed that if I pull my bangs back. I might look like a dork...but I do not seem to sweat as much. just a heads up on that.
