Gym ‘Dos .. Workout Tresses

You are working up a sweat.

Keeping an eye on those burning calories.

Making sure your favorite workout tune is turned up and jammin’.

You just found your workout groove and the last thing you need is a ponytail falling loose, those bangs you’ve been growing out getting in your face and flyaways gone amuck. Forget spending your valuable time constantly fixing your ‘do and pushing those flyaways back into place and try the following tress tips:

Sweet Buns: Get your mind out of the gutter, I’m talking about a bun in your hair. For those with extremely thick hair like mine, having a pony tail swooshing behind you is distracting and annoying. An easy solution is to pull your hair back in a ponytail just like normal (depending on your preference and length of hair this can be a low or high ponytail) and secure with an elastic hairband. Note: My favorite hairbands are thick and have non-slide grips. Twist the end of your ponytail until it reaches your hairband, the secure with an additional hairband. Those with thinner hair can use bobby pins as well.

Braid It Up: A simple solution for flyaways, braid them up. Braid your trouble spot flyaway areas and throw them back into your usual ponytail.

Accessorize, Accessorize, Accessorize: Yes, this one should go in the Urban Girl’s dictionary as a favorite word. I know thoughts of purses, jewelry and those cute stilettos you saw while window shopping pop into mind — but, this time I’m talking about hair accessories. They are simple, they are easy and the best part of all is they are cute. You can find adorable headbands anywhere from Target to Walgreen’s in the hair aisle (next to hairbands and brushes, etc.)

Keep It Simple: Go with simple braids. Part your hair into two ponytails and secure each ponytail with an elastic hairband. Take three equal sections of the hair and cross them over to the center one by one pulling firmly as you go, then secure them — most Urban Girls already know how to do this, but for the hair clueless like myself, I thought you might find this step by step helpful.
