Strength Training
What the experts say: "As a general rule when strength training, it is always recommended to pull the hair away from the face for safety," says Rachel Martin, certified personal trainer and female body strength training specialist from New Jersey. "Buns, braids and ponytails will ensure maintenance of body temperature and minimize overheating."
The look: Triple Braided bun
Try it:
1. Divide your hair horizontally into three sections, securing each section into a ponytail as you go. You should have one section at the top, middle and nape of your neck.
2. Next, braid each section down through to the ends. Secure with a clear elastic as necessary.
3. Wrap each braided piece around the base of the elastic. Use a bobby pin or separate elastic to secure.
4. Finish with hairspray as desired.
