Keeping your hair at bay while exercising can be a real hassle. However, thanks to a few simple hairstyles, you can focus all your attention on the sport instead of a rebellious bangs or an unruly ponytail.
Steps
Method 1 of 4: Classic Chignon
This hairstyle is ideal for those with long hair and don't want to feel it swinging from side to side during sporting activity.
Step 1. Apply a few drops of straightening serum to your hair
Step 2. Gather the hair behind the head at a medium-high height and tie it with a suitable elastic
Step 3. Twist your hair, then wrap it around the base of the ponytail to make a bun
Step 4. Apply another elastic around the base of the bun to secure it
Step 5. Lock the tips into the elastic or with bobby pins
Step 6. Apply some hairspray to set the hairstyle
Method 2 of 4: Ponytail with Hair Pulled Back
In some sports, such as football, it is forbidden to wear metal accessories. If you have bangs or shorter strands of hair that you would like to pull back, this is the hairstyle for you.
Step 1. Take a small amount of hair wax and rub it between your hands, then distribute it along your hair
Step 2. Tilt your head back and pull up your hair by holding it tightly behind your head
Step 3. Tie your hair with a strong rubber band
Step 4. Use an elastic band to make sure each tuft of hair stays in place as you move
This way, you will also add a touch of class to your sportswear.
Step 5. For a better fit, use two bands
Place the first one just over an inch from the hairline and the other about two inches from the first.
Method 3 of 4: Side French Braid
If you want a trendy hairstyle, but still be able to tame your hair, try this one.
Step 1. Part a section of hair on one side either with your fingers or with the help of a comb
Step 2. Make a French braid starting on the opposite side and working up to below the ear
Make sure the braid is firmly attached to your head to prevent it from coming loose easily as you move.
Step 3. Gather all your hair behind your head, wrap it into a bun and secure it with a special elastic
Step 4. Lock the ends of your hair with bobby pins (if allowed by the sporting regulations) and apply hairspray to secure even the most rebellious locks
Method 4 of 4: Dutch Braid
Step 1. Brush your hair
Step 2. Move a large part of the hair to the right side and leave only a small part of it on the left side, forming a side parting
Step 3. The procedure for obtaining a Dutch braid is very similar to that for the French braid, but instead of weaving by passing the outermost strand over the central one, it must be passed underneath
Start at the side parting and make a tight braid to keep the ends from sticking out.
Step 4. Continue braiding following a diagonal along the nape of the neck
Start at the top left of the head and work your way to the bottom right, going all the way around the head. Proceed like this, gradually adding new strands of hair.
Step 5. Once you have reached the bottom right end and all the hair has been inserted into the braid, lay it over your right shoulder
It should now look like a side braid.
Step 6. Tie it tightly with a rubber band to prevent it from loosening easily
Advice
- To make a high ponytail just turn upside down, brush your hair to flatten and tie it up.
- Don't pay too much attention to what your hairstyle may look like while exercising.
- If you use bobby pins, make sure they are well hidden. In many sports it is forbidden to wear accessories of this type, and checks are made before you play.
- Bangs, if you have one, can be a source of distraction during sporting activity, so don't have it on your eyes.
- If you have wet hair, apply gel or foam for extra hold.
