Like a new fancy gym outfit, nice hair will make you feel better and be more motivated to workout consistently. Whether you are a dedicated weightlifter, a yoga advocate or just now and then rolling out a mat in your living room, we’ve rounded up a list of the best workout hairstyles that will survive your training session.
Two braids are one of those easy and versatile gym hairstyles that are both durable and flattering. They don’t take too long to make and ensure your strands are tightly together, helping to avoid tangling. Perfect for a run, Pilates session or yoga, though it might not be your best bet for lifting weights due to safety reasons.

Girls who lift weights know that keeping their hair out of the way is paramount to avoid any potential damage. A top knot is a first choice for many gym lovers, as unlike any other hairstyle, it prevents your hair from coming in contact with any equipment.
However, if pulling all your hair up makes you feel bare, a few loose strands around the front will soften the look.

Perhaps a high ponytail is the most popular hairstyle for working out. If you like a sleek finish and want all the hair out of your way, use some gel or hairspray to tame the frizz. Do you avoid using hair products when going to the gym? Use some bobby pins or wear a headband.

Are you worried about your layered hair sticking out of a braid? Try a bubble braid as an alternative to the classic style. It is equally secure and if you position the hair bands strategically, they will help to keep those shorter strands in place.

Not only a beanie hat will keep you warm during a winter running session, but it will also allow you to let your hair down. This option might be handy for those who get headaches from tying their hair up.

Are you an avid cross fitter and struggling with any hairstyle falling out during workouts? There’s probably nothing more secure than a braided bun. This hairstyle is great for absolutely any type of exercise – wind and sweat-resistant, it will withstand the toughest workout.

A headband is perfect for holding all those wispy hairs away even without using any products, let alone the fact this hair accessory is one of the hottest trends right now. Those with shorter hair will particularly appreciate it.
