11 Gym Hairstyles You’ll Wear All Summer Long
Exercise is deeply personal. Whether you’re a can’t-miss-my-workout kinda gal or a hardcore yogi, keeping your hair under control during your sweat sesh is just as important as finding the right sports bra. Getting yourself moving can be hard enough as it is, so you can’t let something as minuscule as your hair hold you back. Trying to preserve that blow out? Going for the no-poo method? Just chopped off all your hair? No sweat… well, actually, lots of sweat, but we’ve got you covered!
