Just recently my brother got engaged which instantly kicked my butt off the couch and into the gym! It’s funny how a strict end date can finally be the push we need to get going. Anyway since then I’ve hit the gym every day (today being day 16 as I write this), go me! But one thing most of us don’t realize as we pull our hair into that ponytail every day is how much that ponytail is actually damaging our hair! We need to switch up our gym hairstyles but we also want to look stylish and cute! That is why I have come up with a list of my 13 favorite hairstyles that are perfect for the gym!
I love this list because it helps me up my gym hair game while also protecting my hair! I don’t know about you, but if I feel like I look cute on any given day or situation, I am going to feel better about myself. And at the gym, I tend to actually work a little harder!
While most of us tend to throw our hair into that same old ponytail every day, we don’t realize the amount of stress and breakage it actually causes especially will all that movement that happens at the gym. So it is actually best to switch up your gym styles for the integrity of your hair but we don’t have to sacrifice style! So mix it up with between ponytails, braids, and buns! Here are some of my favorites!

remy tape in hair extensions are the most luxurious hair extensions available. Remy hair is collected in one direction so it doesn’t tangle or shed easily and it won’t become damaged by cutting. Remy hair is ideal for those who like to designate their own color, length and density and can be styled as desired.
