Post-Workout Hair Don’t Care (Although You Probably Do…)
The situation: you just finished an at-home workout sesh and feel prepared to anything that comes your way. Insert mirror (aka “confidence crusher”), reflecting your flyaway hairs pointed up at the sky. Even though you may not have time to hit the blow dryer before heading out, the following easy hair fixes make your sweat-soaked strands look as good as new. Pair one of these looks with a cleansed complexion (Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit Oil-Free Cleansing Wipes work wonders), and you’re ready to hit the ground running.
1. Bananas for Bandanas
Chances are, your hair is a hot mess (literally) after your time on the treadmill. Refresh your look by scooping strands into a high pony at the crown of your head, and top it off with a printed bandana to tame flyaways in style.
2. The *Intentional* Mess
A disheveled ’do can’t hurt you, so feel free to embrace the untidiness. Take Selena Gomez’s lead by sweeping your strands over one shoulder and braiding all the way down, securing them with an elastic at the bottom. Bonus points for using a vibrant scrunchie!
3. Princess Top Knot
Honor Princess Belle’s half-back hairdo by scooping one-inch-wide strands on both sides into a top knot. Use an anti-frizz serum on the leftover pieces that aren’t in the bun (Redken Travel Size Dismiss Instant Deflate easily fits inside a bag) to ensure your locks look luscious as ever.
4. Playful Pigtails
Part your hair down the middle and sweep equal parts of your strands over each shoulder. Take inspo from singer and TikTok star Loren Gray, who braided each side sans worrying about stubborn strands that just didn’t want to be swept. The more tendrils, the better.
5. Bobby Pin Bonanza
Bring on the bobby pins! Let your long locks run free and use brightly colored hair pins right above your ears to decorate your ‘do. Not only will the colors add excitement, but they‘re guaranteed to keep flyaways at bay. If you have more time on your hands, you can even try experimenting with different placements of the pins; chevron patterns can look oh-so-chic.
