Swimming
While you don't really need a style that looks good enough to walk the runway, you do need one that fits under your swim cap (if you're wearing one) and won't be a fussy, tangled mess post-workout.
What the experts say: "For swimming, wear your hair pulled back into tight bun under swim cap," says certified trainer Kyra Williams, also known as the Get in Shape Girl. Bonus points for moisturizing with a deep conditioner before your swim. "This helps pull more of the nutrients into the hair," says Williams.
The look: Double twist low bun
Try it:
1. Part your hair down the center from your forehead to the nape of your neck.
2. Begin twisting one side back toward your nape. Be sure to keep your twist tight as you go. Secure momentarily as you begin the other side.
3. Repeat on the opposite side. Then take the two sides and twist them together.
5. Secure with bobby pins or a separate elastic as necessary.
