For women w/ LONG hair
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 :)
