If we all had our way and didn’t care about what people thought, I’m sure many of us would exercise with our favorite bonnets on, hair wrapped up and protected from whatever sweat and mayhem is sure to come. But instead, many of us do our best to just keep our hair out of our way, and in turn, it can get damaged in our tight ponytails and filled with gunk when we end up sweating up a storm. But there are a few products out there that help you cover up and protect your hair (like hair rings that don’t leave dents or pull on the hair like ordinary scrunchies), and in some cases, keep the sweat at bay. Check out a few we’re fans of, including swimming caps for women with extra long hair, socks that cover up and help you style locs, and a moisture-wicking cap from actress Nicole Ari Parker.
