FAQs

What hairstyles can help protect your hair during workouts?

Protective styles like power plaits, stealth buns and bootcamp-proof braids are ideal for gym sessions. These hairstyles help minimise damage from flipping, flopping and bouncing, keeping your hair secure while you exercise. Choosing the right style reduces tangling and breakage.

How can you keep your hair looking fresh at the gym?

Choosing from eight fresh gym hairstyles can help keep your hair looking neat and manageable during workouts. Secure styles like plaits, buns and braids limit movement and reduce sweat-related frizz. This helps preserve your hair’s appearance before, during and after exercise.

Why is it important to pick a hairstyle that suits your workout?

Wearing a hairstyle suited to your workout can prevent hair damage from constant movement. When hair is loose, repeated flipping and bouncing increases the risk of tangles and breakage. The right style keeps your hair contained and protects it during intense activity.
