How do you put your hair up for exercise?

Hello curly gurls. After a decade of straightening my hair, I am embracing my natural hair texture and returning to the curly life. A lot of things are very new for me.

My question is, how do you put up your hair for things like the gym? I usually brush it (!) into a bun. This will obviously break up the curls and ruin them. But my hair is too heavy and hot to work out without putting it up. What do?

static_caster,

Pony tail or folded bun, but I also have an undercut so I don’t have to worry about gathering the hair from the sides/back of my head.

JackbyDev,

I put my hair into a pony tail and then use a head band to keep my bangs in check.

RBWells,

I just high ponytail it in a scrunchie no brushing. If too long leave a loop, if too heavy low ponytail but usually high pony.

rave_demon,

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll probably have to wait. My hair is too short to get in a high pony without a brush

SomeoneElse,

How about twisty bun(s) secured with satin scrunchies? No brush, just twist with your fingers - shake out when you’re done. That’s what I do as a quick fix before I sleep if I can’t be bothered.

Something_Complex,

Hey!! For the record, the sub is curly hair. I'm a guy, should I be here XD?

Also I would braid or do some other type of curly-made hairstyle. It means you will have to keep it up but my hair is not so heavy. I can make a bun without brushing

rave_demon,

Haha sorry for some reason I thought gurls would make it more gender nooch? I just like to rhyme

Tbh my hair isn't long enough to braid yet but I'll keep that in mind

Missjdub,

Messy bun. No brush. Unfortunately I sweat too much to preserve curls. I’m showering afterwards

rave_demon,

Yeah I sweat too and I live in a very hot climate :/
