Want to know how to style your hair so that it survives your workout? These genius hair tips will keep your locks looking gorgeous even after a sweaty gym session.
1 Try a power pony
Where there’s moisture and humidity there’s also frizz or limp and stringy strands (yuck)! So, it’s important to keep your hair off your face and neck. A ‘Power pony’ will do the trick: your tail should start at ear level or above. The less contact the tail has with your skin, the less sweat it will absorb.
To avoid a dent, keep your elastic loose. And if you’re doing an crazy intense exercise class like S.W.E.A.T 1000? Wear a headband made of moisture-wicking fabric, so that strands stay put.
2 Get beachy waves
For a cute, tidy style that’s also sexy afterwards, pull hair back into a ponytail, secure it with a snag-free elastic and then plait your tail. Post-workout simply unravel the plait and refresh your hairline with a blast of a blowdryer on the cool setting. The, work a little dry shampoo into your roots. Hello sexy, textured waves!
3 Catch those stragglers
Got a layer style? Try a tight French plait, starting at your crown to incorporate shorter strands as you move down. Once you’ve woven all the strands above your ears, draw your hair into a ponytail and do a second, classic plait for the ends. Bonus? Post-workout you’ll have amazing tousled locks!
4 Spot-clean strands
OK, so maybe your strands are seriously sweaty. Now what? Use a 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner for a quick tress turnaround. But, rub it in just where you need it most (like your roots), then wet slightly so the suds drip down your strands. Rinse, and comb through a styling product with your fingers. Ditch that dryer! Just pull locks up into a ‘wet-look’ top knot – so on trend!
