1. Bubble Ponytail
The pony is the ultimate gym hairstyle, but now it's time to elevate your look by trying a bubble ponytail! Simply tie your hair into a ponytail and add hair ties down the length, slightly pulling out each section to create a “bubble” effect. With this look, you’ll never need to worry about hair getting in the way during your sweat sessions!
Tip: Change up the placement of your ponytail to prevent repeated breakage and seal up any flyaways with the Solutions Glossing Multi-Task Cream.
2. Double Braids

Double braids are a chic style that will have you looking and feeling your best during your workouts! Not only is this look great for preventing tangles, but it’s also versatile. Whether your go-to twist is French or Fishtail, you can turn any braid into double the fun!
Tip: Secure any loose strands with bobby pins and use a hairspray like SexyHair’s Spray & Play Hairspray for even more support.
3. Topknot
Sleek, secure and stylish, a topknot is a type of bun that’s a perfect look for any type of workout! If you’re going all in at the gym, this updo is an easy style that will keep your hair off of your neck. Start by pulling the back your hair into a high ponytail. Then, twist it into a bun by wrapping your pony around its base. Once you secure it with your favorite hair tie and add bobby pins for any stray hairs, you’re ready to hit the gym!
Tip: Style your topknot using a gel like the Latitude by Great Clips Firm Style Gel Pomade and check out our other haircare products for all hair types.

We recommend using the American Crew Pomade, but check out our blog on Choosing the Right Product for Men’s Hair for even more product recommendations for getting workout ready!
5. Accessorized Styles

Wearing the right accessories for your workout and hair type goes a long way, keeping unwanted stress off your hair and making for a stylish look! Go the extra mile by adding a cloth headband to your gym fit, which will absorb sweat and oil. Pinning your hair back with a cute hair clip also makes a big difference for your go-to hairstyle.
