5. The Two Dutch Braids
These are my absolute favorite for a secure and stylish look. They offer maximum control, even during intense cardio. A little bit of hairspray before you start braiding helps keep everything smooth.
4. The Messy Bun
Ah, the messy bun. My quick and easy go-to when I’m running late. It might look effortless, but there’s an art to making it gym-proof. Using a textured hair tie gives it extra grip and helps it stay put.
3. The Sleek Bun
For a more polished look that stays in place, I go for a sleek bun. It requires a good comb and some hairspray to get it smooth. Using a boar bristle brush helps smooth down any flyaways before you twist it up.
2. The Braided Bun
This one combines the security of a braid with the neatness of a bun. It’s super secure for high-impact workouts. I usually make a ponytail, braid it, and then wrap the braid into a bun. It doesn’t budge!
1. The Top Knot
The ultimate gym hair hero in my book! It keeps every single strand off your neck and face. It provides maximum security for any workout imaginable. I always use several bobby pins, crisscrossing them for the best hold.
