My hair really gets beat up when I exercise. What is the best way to get ones hair out of the way and secure? I exercise at home, so I don't care what it looks like.
I currently make a high pony tail with a tie (without metal). I then make a loop on the top of my head with the tail. I secure the loop with 3 metal bobby pins. When secured correctly it holds well, but so many hairs break of it concerns me. I don't know if my hair is just susceptible to breaking or what.
I need my hair secure because if it starts moving it pulls out of the fasteners. I also want the back of my head free for floor exercises. My hair is all one length, a bit short of mid back, fine and straight.
I would suggest, since you don't care what you look like being at home, to roll it all up under a good secure shower cap of some sort to hold it all in. That way there is nothing binding it like in a ponytail and all that metal paraphenalia that can break hair. Just a suggestion. Peace!!!!!
A braid works for me, it keeps all the tangles from forming. Sometimes to save time I'll just use a hair tie and do a ponytail but I usually get at least some tangling just below the tie...or a huge tangle if it's intense, sweaty, windy exercise. Besides, a braid can usually be tucked under a cap more easily which would really keep it out of the way.
i have the same exact problem, i'm in to wrestling so i work out a good amount of time and it's always falling in my face ,problem is my hair dosent want to stay back at all,just keeps falling in my face and putting it in anything to hold it back seems to damage it when your moving around a lot
Hi,
I have similar problems.
I have mid back length hair, and am into a lot of wrestling matches for fun and exercise. On the one hand, my opponents kind of like the long locks, but it gets to be a problem as the matches get sweaty
Best tactic for me is a high ponytail to keep things out of my eyes.
Dont know what else to do as I crave rasslin matches all of the time, and I will never give up the long hair.
Good luck, man.
