19 Quick & Cute Gym Hairstyles
Okay, let’s dive into the good stuff! Here are 19 incredible quick and cute gym hairstyles that will actually last through your workout. They are all super easy to do. You can totally master these. And yes, number 19 is a classic for a reason!
19. The Low Bun

This is my absolute go-to when I’m really short on time. Just gather your hair at the nape of your neck. Twist it up into a simple bun. Secure it with a hair tie. It keeps your hair neatly out of the way. It works for almost every hair type too. If you have layers, pop in a couple of bobby pins. This holds any stray pieces in place. It’s quick, clean, and gets the job done.
18. The High Ponytail

A high ponytail is another classic for a reason. It’s fast and keeps your hair completely off your neck. This is great when you’re getting sweaty. Just flip your head over. Gather your hair at the crown. Secure with a strong elastic. For a cuter look, add a fun scrunchie! It adds a pop of color and style. Plus, it helps prevent that annoying ponytail crease.
17. The French Braid

A French braid might sound complicated, but a quick one is easy. Start with three sections at the top. Braid, adding small pieces from the sides as you go. Braid all the way down. Secure the end. This style is super secure for active workouts. It keeps your hair from bouncing around. Practice makes perfect with this one. The more you do it, the faster you get!
