WHY SHOULD I TIE MY HAIR UP DURING A WORKOUT?
Keeping your hair away from your face and eyes is a sure fire way to keep all concentration and focus on your workout. Because is there anything worse than having to stop mid-workout to fix that annoying section of hair that keeps wafting over your eyes with every rep?
Along with this, when you exercise, you tend to sweat (a lot!) to the point that hair becomes damp and sticky. Loose hair is prone to trap sweat, dirt and bacteria — which can lead to scalp issues including dandruff and bacterial infections. Having your hair down during a workout combined with the perspiration can even cause issues such as 'bacne' AKA back acne, whereby excess sebum and oil from hair become trapped in the skins pores causing an outbreak of unsightly spots on the neck, shoulder and upper back area.
THE SPIKED BUN
No gym workout is complete without the complimenting hair to match. The Feathered Bun Booster (£16) is incredibly easy to apply and featherlight, meaning you can keep the focus on burning the calories and less worrying about whether your hair is still in place.
THE SLEEK BRAID
If your Braid isn't pristinely sleek and smooth from root to tip, you're doing it all wrong. Jokes aside, to keep your hair perfectly prepped and 100% away from your face during any workout, you'll need our Slick & Fix and Slick Back Down Baby Hair Styler. Use these products in conjunction with our Backcombing Brush for the sleekest braid you've ever seen, trust us.
