We consulted celebrity hairstylist Clariss Rubenstein on her favorite cute hairstyles for the gym. “Depending on my workout, my go-to hairstyles are a topknot, a low sleek ponytail braid, a smooth ponytail with headband,” Rubenstein tells PS.

If you will be lying down for some of it – pilates or mat work – you should avoid any hairstyles that sit at the back of your head,” she says. Rubenstein also suggests thinking about how you plan on wearing your hair afterward, how much time post-workout you have to wash your hair, and what tools and products you have access to after your workout. She also cautions against choosing anything that causes too much stress on your hair.
