6. The Braided Ponytail
Combine the security of a braid with the practicality of a ponytail! This helps prevent tangles and adds a bit of style. You can start the braid high or low depending on your preference. It’s a great hybrid option.
5. The Space Buns
These are super trendy and surprisingly secure. They keep hair completely off your neck and face. Space buns work well for medium to long hair. Make sure you secure the buns tightly with hair ties and bobby pins.
4. The French Braid Ponytail
This style keeps hair secure right from the crown, preventing those annoying flyaways around your face. Then it transitions into a practical ponytail. It’s a polished look that really stays put. Practice your French braiding for this one!
3. The Crown Braid
For ultimate security and a touch of elegance, the crown braid is fantastic. It keeps all of your hair completely off your neck and face. If you have long hair and need maximum hold, this is a top choice. Pin the ends securely.
2. The Boxer Braids
These are my go-to for intense workouts! Boxer braids are incredibly secure and keep hair contained, preventing tangles. They are perfect if you have longer hair and do high-impact exercises. Keep the sections even and braid tightly.
1. The Slicked-Back Ponytail or Bun
This is it. The ultimate secure style. A slicked-back ponytail or bun keeps every single strand out of your way. It works for all hair lengths when done right. Use a little gel or hairspray to get that super smooth finish that won’t budge.
