    Yes, usually leave it on a little stand I have in front of my bathroom mirror.

    I cut my hair to a pixie cut mostly because I was tired of dealing with it sweaty. Love it like this, too short to get in the way and I don't have to bother with ponytails. Hell, it's short enough that I don't even need to brush it, just run some gel through it when I get out of the shower and call it a day.

    I always put my hair in a pony tail, even a low one. If I don't it feels all gross.

    My hair is very straight and goes down to about my lower back. It would be a mess if I didn't put it in a high pony before exercise!

    Never, ponytail everytime, I sweat buckets and it would just get annoying if I wore it down.

    If I had to go back to work afterwards I wouldn't because even though I shower I don't re-wash my hair and the band would put a crazy wave in my hair... If no work afterwards I would... Now I've cut my hair and it wont' go all the way up so it's always down now.

    NEVER! Gosh, I can't even imagine not wearing a ponytail! I even buy the hairbands for my side bang so it doesn't get in my way. However, I think I used to wear my hair down at one point... long... long... long... ago. lol :)

    Yes in a pony tail. I am stay a lot more cooler if I have my hair up. When I forget a hair tie, I seem to sweat more with my hair down.

    I can't stand my hair flying around and getting stuck to my sweaty face, so I either wear it in a french braid or in a pony tail.

    I did this workout video the other day, and the girl had waist length hair and she was wearing it down! I can't imagine doing that, I would feel so hot, sticky and annoyed! :huh:

    eeek I forgot to put a hair tie in my gym bag yesterday and it sucked! I don't know how anyone with longer hair can do an intense workout with their hair down.
    oh, and after I left the gym I discovered that I actually had like 10 hair ties, they were just hiding haha

    Usually, except when I'm in my Sh'bam, Body Jam or other dance classes when I let my hair down in more ways than one lol

    I can't stand hair touching my neck when I'm exercizing. It's always been a nuisance for me, even before I started working out. I've learned to get used to the feeling of hair brushing my neck, and when my hair is clean and washed, it's awesome.
    But the moment I get sweaty...

    It takes all my willpower not to cut my hair off mid-run.
