Manage Your Hair During Exercise
An obvious answer to this dilemma might be, "Duh, put your hair in a ponytail." But if you have any amount of hair on your head, and you like to sweat on a regular basis, then you know how annoying it can be to manage your tresses during athletic ventures.
Instructions
1. For most athletes, the goal with hair management is keeping it out of your face and off your neck. With that in mind, the ponytail is the best starting place. If you have short hair, try two little pigtails.
2. Keep flyaways, stray hair and bangs under control with bobby pins or clips. Some sports leagues have very specific rules on hair accessories, so check with your coach if you have any doubts.
3. One-piece stretchy headbands solve the flyaway problem. You have several style options here: thin elastic, wide fabric or special athletic tape (See link below for details on the tape version). If you have picky hair, experiment with the different types and see what works best. When it's cold outside, opt for a fleece headband.
4. A hat or visor solves all of these hair issues, plus keeps the UV rays off your face. Look for a hat with a breathable, mesh top to stay cool in warmer months.
5. One last issue that affects those of us with thick and/or curly hair: the dreaded humidity hair. If you throw your hair up in a ponytail for a run in drizzly weather, you are likely to return home with a bird's nest protruding from the back of your head. If your hair is long enough, braiding the ponytail minimizes the frizz. Or wrap a second band around the bottom of your ponytail.
