22 Innovative Gym Hairstyles for Your Next Sweat Session
Alright, let’s get into the good stuff! Here are 22 fantastic gym hairstyles I love trying. From simple fixes to more intricate looks, there’s something here for everyone and every workout. We’ll start with some familiar favorites and work our way to some truly innovative gym hairstyles.
22. The Classic High Ponytail

Ah, the high ponytail. It’s a classic for a reason! Just gather all your hair up high on your head and secure it with a strong hair tie. It keeps your hair completely off your neck and face. This style works for pretty much any hair type and length, and it looks great on everyone.
21. The Low Ponytail

If a high ponytail feels too bouncy during your workout, try a low one. It sits closer to your neck, which some find more comfortable for things like weightlifting or yoga. It’s super simple to do. For a little extra touch, you can wrap a piece of hair around the tie.
20. The Braided Ponytail

Take your ponytail up a notch by braiding it! Just make a regular ponytail first, then braid the length of the hair. This keeps everything really contained, so you don’t have strands flying around. It’s especially good if you have medium to long hair. Start the braid higher on the ponytail to keep more hair off your neck.
