This works for various hair lengths and keeps the sides neat. It feels a bit more polished.
Tip: Start the twist tight at your scalp to keep it from loosening.
14. Double Braids
A simple braid on each side of your head is a classic for a reason. It keeps everything contained.
These are quick to do and effective for most hair types. I reach for this often.
Tip: Braid them tightly to minimize bounce and movement.
13. Braided Bun
Take your ponytail, braid it, and then wrap the braid into a bun. This creates a super secure style.
It’s one of my go-to’s for intense cardio. It simply does not budge.
Tip: A fine hair net over the bun adds an extra layer of hold.
12. Crown Braid
Braiding your hair around your head, like a crown, is both elegant and practical. It keeps all your hair up.
This style is great for yoga or lower-impact activities. It feels so comfortable.
Tip: Secure the end of the braid carefully with pins.
11. High Ponytail
The classic high ponytail is a staple gym look. It gets your hair completely off your neck.
It’s quick, easy, and effective for many workouts. Just pull it up and go!
Tip: Using a fabric scrunchie can help prevent that annoying hair tie crease.
10. Low Ponytail
When you need something fast for a less intense session, a low ponytail works. It’s simple and quick.
Secure it at the nape of your neck. It’s comfortable for stretching or light weights.
Tip: Don’t pull it too tight to avoid headaches.
9. French Braid
A French braid keeps your hair close to the scalp and controlled. It’s great for keeping flyaways at bay.
This takes a little practice but is so worth it for a secure hold. My hair feels locked in.
