DON’T SWEAT IT! Hairstyles That Won’t Sweat Out at the Gym

July 14th, 2012 - By Tiffany Washington

"sidebraid"

Braids

Braids are always a safe bet when it comes to working out. You can wear them in a multitude of ways that’ll endure a tough exercise routine. If you’re in a rush, a side braid is fast and will remain in place until the last sit-up and still be able to take you to your next outing in a cinch. Jazz it up a bit by giving yourself a deep side part and braiding the front from one side to the other.

If you have a bit more time, a goddess braid will keep hair out of your way while you’re working up a sweat and also look cute if you’re meeting friends after your workout.

A bonus? If you take them down at the end of your session, you’ll have plenty of pretty nice summer waves – or what many refer to as a braidout.

    DMVchick you said it all.lol…I just came from the gym. who writes this mess.

  • Ms. Spring

    I’d rather worry about getting my body in shape than whipping up my hair in shape. My hair isn’t exactly nice after I work out no matter how nice I put it up. Fail on this article.

    A side pony, really?! I workout 5 days a week and I put my dreads in an updo. At the gym I see on lady wear a shower cap during her workout and all I have to say is as long she’s getting her workout on……

  • DMVchick

    I feel like who ever wrote this doesn’t quite know what they are talking about. I exercise 5 days a week and was excited to see an article that I thought was going to help me out. The problem isn’t the hairstyle but what perspiration/exertion actually does to the condition of the hair. I promise you if i put my hair in a cute bun, run 2 or 3 miles, it is not going to look the same afterwards.

    I have already decided that as a black woman, my exercise habits drain on my hair. I can’t keep weaves in, relaxers sweat out…it is a trade off.

      Of course it’s a trade-off. But choosing your hair over your health seems crazy to me. But I’ve been shaving my head for 18 years so what do I know?

    I’ve heard a sista say that she doesn’t workout because she didn’t want sweat to ruin her hair, but I thought it was just her. I refused to believe a significant number of women would risk their health and quality of life over their hair!

    • Tesa

      Lol you would be surprised. My gfs tell me that all the time.

    • FattyFatKimye

      Before I went natural 5 years ago, I even worked out while having relaxed hair, better to be healthy than be unhealthy.

  • IllyPhilly

    Nothing like a smoking hot and healthy body to take attention away from your hair!

    • Nope

      Guys will notice that gut on a woman way more than that hairstyle it took a woman 8 hours to get done. I’ve actually never heard a man say “damn, did you see how fly her hair was!!”.
