55 Quick Workout Hairstyles to Get Your Hair in Shape
There are a variety of workout hairstyles that are great options for the gym. Usually, a quick ponytail is the first sporty hairstyle that comes to mind but having your hair in a ponytail isn’t always the savviest way to protect your hair during your workout as your hair may end up tangled. Another important thing to keep in mind is that sweat dries out our hair. When your ends come in contact with your skin, it absorbs the sweat and in the long run, this may lead to breakage. Typically, however, you don’t need to worry about the roots. Natural oils that build up on the scalp protects your roots from drying out.
We recommend spending a few minutes preparing your hair before your workout. Here are 55 quick hairstyles to protect your hair during your workout and if ponytails are your thing, don’t worry, we included those too- just be sure to wash and condition your locks post workout!
