How To Nail Gym Hair Every Time

The best workout hairstyles do double duty: they stay sleek through plank and sprints on the spin bike, and still look pulled-together when you head straight out afterwards. Here’s how to outsmart sweat and keep your hair chic from studio to street.
The slick bun
A low bun smoothed with a touch of Almost Everything Cream looks elegant and disguises any sweat that may arise during your workout. Keep it at the nape of your neck for mat work, so you’re not lying on a knot.
The plait
Swap a ponytail for a single braid, which stays put through reformer classes and won’t whip you in the face. And a bonus? You’ll achieve subtle waves when you undo it.
The claw clip trick
Twist and clip your hair high on your head with a claw clip. Great for holding the hair without tension or a dent, it’s also easy to take down after class – simply mist some Air Dry Spray and enjoy perfect undone texture.
The old-school hairband
A soft fabric headband or sweatband keeps flyaways in check and saves your blow-dry. Polished but practical, just how we like it.
The post-class refresh
Work Zhoosh foam into your roots the minute you’re done. Massage it in, rough dry with a hairdryer and voila – the workout never happened to your hair.
