For guys sometimes it's simply put on a cap or hat to hide the mop of hair, or just not bother. I tend not to mind too much about my appearance in the gym as I'm there for one reason only, to work out and get/keep fit! Just as long as I am clean and healthy then it's ok.

Still, it's always nice to be presentable for many reasons, especially in the gym.

Sometimes I just use some gel, wipe that though my hair, brush it back with my hands and it's done! Yet it always seems to look better when I do it like this than if I try to "do it" before going out for a meal or a night out! - Typical! :)

For women it can be a real pain on how to wear your hair in the gym, as longer hair can be harder to manage and you really don't want hair getting in the way of your eyes when you're exercising. So... after looking through some forums, hair based websites, and various information I found some good answers for women's hairstyles when in the gym, one of the best solutions for women's hair in the gym was on "Yahoo! Answers"

The question:

Hey! What type of hairstyles can I do that won't get messed up from running around in gym except for the common pony tail? Thank you to everyone who answers!

The best answer:

Pull your hair into a tight pony tail, then make it into a loose/messy bun. making a tight ponytail first will keep it from falling apart during gym, it will just loosen up a bit. try adding a cute headband or hair clips to spice it up.

Another good solution for fitness fanatics would be to change your hair style to a more manageable style that would work for both day to day as well as the gym! There is some great information and tips on hair styles at www.hair-craft.co.uk
