19. The Fishtail Ponytail
Want a ponytail that looks a bit more intricate but is still gym-ready? The fishtail ponytail is your friend. Make a ponytail, then do a fishtail braid down the length. It looks really cool and trendy. Once it’s braided, you can gently pull the sides to make it look fuller if you like.
18. The Bubble Ponytail
This one is fun and modern! Gather your hair into a ponytail. Then, place more hair ties down the ponytail at even intervals. Gently pull each section between the ties to create little “bubbles.” It’s a stylish way to keep your hair tidy.
17. The Simple Bun
The simple bun is the ultimate quick fix. Just twist your ponytail into a coil and wrap it around the base. Tuck the end under and secure with another hair tie. It’s practical for keeping hair off your face and neck during intense movement. Add some bobby pins for extra security.
16. The Top Knot
A top knot is basically a bun placed high on your head. It gives a more casual, effortless vibe, even when you’re working hard. Just gather your hair into a high ponytail, twist it, and wrap it into a bun. Make sure it’s not too tight, or you might get a headache!
15. The Messy Bun
For a relaxed gym look that still functions, try a messy bun. It’s less about perfection and more about getting the hair up. Gather your hair high, twist loosely, and secure. It’s okay if a few pieces fall out; it’s part of the charm. You can leave a few face-framing pieces out too.
14. The Braided Bun
Adding a braid to your bun gives it extra security. Braid your ponytail before you twist it into a bun. This helps keep everything locked in place, which is great for high-impact workouts. It’s a little more effort, but totally worth it for a bun that won’t budge.
13. The Low Bun
Similar to the low ponytail, a low bun sits at the nape of your neck. This can be much more comfortable for certain exercises, like floor work. Just gather your hair into a low ponytail and twist it into a bun. Secure it right at the base of your neck.
12. The Double Buns
Also known as space buns, this style is playful and keeps hair off both sides of your face. Part your hair down the middle and create two pigtails. Twist each pigtail into a bun and secure. Make sure your part is clean for symmetry.
