- Hey everyone, Kayley, your friendly neighborhood
hair stylist here, and today,
we are doing some workout hairstyles.
Every time I make a workout hairstyles video,
I get comments where people are like
literally I just put my hair in a ponytail
and go to the gym.
I'm not gonna go through this entire like process,
this entire glam session to put my hair up for the gym,
and I get it.
I feel like when I go to the gym,
I'm either full Robin Scherbatsky
or I'm ready to shoot a Lulu Lemon campaign,
and there is no in between.
So I have made a whole lot of videos
for the Lulu Lemon side of my brain,
but I think today, I really wanna focus on functionality.
I really wanna focus on how to make
hairstyles stay super duper well,
how you can do quick little upgrades
to make sure that your hairstyle's not gonna move,
and how you can make that a put together moment
without spending an entire glam sesh on it.
But of course, it wouldn't be a Kayley Melissa video
if I wasn't giving you guys little hacks
to make it also like a cute, like, more Lulu Lemon moment
if that's what you want.
So I hope that you guys enjoy this,
and let's just jump right into it,
starting with the v functional stuff.
Okay, let's start off with more
of a Robin Scherbatsky kind of situation.
So we're gonna throw our hair into a ponytail,
wherever you like your ponytail.
Okay, so, we have our standard ponytail.
Normally this would be it, and you would go.
But if you wanna make it a little bit more functional
and a little bit more vibe-y, here's what you can do.
You grab your middle school favorite,
snap clips, and put them in where you feel like you need it.
So if you have a lot of baby hairs right here
or at the nape of your neck or wherever
they tend to really get in the way, snappy clippy.
Here's what I do, because like obviously right now,
my baby hairs are hidden, and they all look like
they're super sweet and like follow direction very well,
so we're just gonna kinda like
give them a chance to misbehave by massaging the hairline.
Okay, now, if you're trying to look
like cute and Lulu Lemony, you can leave these out.
But if you're trying to work out,
you grab all the pesky baby hairs,
and you twist them a couple times.
Then you pull it back.
Snappy clip.
Now it's up to you.
You can do snap clips on both sides
if you want, as I just did,
or, if you prefer just like the one
and you feel like it's just way too much middle school
if you have both, you can use bobby pins.
So you still do the whole twisty thing,
then you pull it back, you take your bobby pin,
and you're just gonna pin directly into the twist
in the direction that it's going, just like so.
And depending on how long your baby hairs are,
you can get probably up to three
or four bobby pins in there, I'd say at least two.
That's your best bet for getting it to stay.
And that way you can have the same functionality.
The baby hairs are pinned back equally on both sides,
but you don't have to wear the same hair thing
on both sides if you don't want.
That being said, I'm gonna go back to the double snap clips,
because I liked it.
And there you go, that's our first option.
Super super easy, it's like 30 seconds to a minute.
I would give it like one Robin Scherbatsky,
because it's super super easy,
but it will keep those bobby pins out of the way.
It gives you a little bit of a vibe,
and at least for me, when I feel a little vibe-y,
I work out harder, so it's also like,
at least in my mind, it's like 20% more calories burned,
which is very much worth it.
So this next one is for those of you guys
who are like okay, that baby hair trick is cute,
but my baby hairs are an army, and I need full on defense.
I've got you.
Let's talk about it.
So I'm gonna assume that you might not
even need this little hair trick to loose the baby hairs,
and if you do, you have like five times as many as I do.
My condolences.
So here's what I'm gonna do.
I got these Revlon essentials snap clips.
These are uber snap clips.
Little dots here to help catch your hair more.
They're got a comb with teeth on the back.
I mean, it's gonna hold.
So I'm gonna grab a comb, gonna pull these back.
You might need a little bit of like light hold gel.
You could go firm hold if you want,
but you and I both know that means
you have to wash your hair after.
Either way, we're gonna use the comb to pull it back
and use your hand to grab the hairs.
And then we're gonna take these clips
and we're literally going to go
all the way around the hairline putting them in.
But that will look crazy, you say!
Just wait, I have an idea.
Now, I mean, this is a look, and if you feel it,
you can wear it, but you don't have to.
My next step is to grab a work out headband.
I grabbed this one specifically for this video
because it's wide, it's elastic,
so it's gonna be comfortable,
and it has these rubber dots on it,
which will help it stay in place.
And this is from Scootsy, their Fit Girl Club line.
So I'm gonna put the rubber on the inside
so it's gripping against my hair,
and I'm going to put the headband over the snap clips
so that it covers them all up
and adds an extra layer of protection.
So I can feel this guy already wants
to kind of like slide back a little bit,
so what I'm gonna do is over my ears,
I'm going to pin into the snap clips with a bobby pin
that same color as the headband,
and the snap clips are acting as an anchor,
so the headband is sticking to the snap clips,
so it's probably not gonna go anywhere.
The bobby pin is into the snap clips,
so they're definitely not going anywhere.
This whole thing is a Fort Knox defense
against the baby hair army.
And for me, I typically am betrayed
by the treacherous back of the headband
that likes to like pop up as I'm working out,
so I'm gonna do a little criss cross bobby pin action
on top of that, and we're gonna be done.
And that is that hairstyle.
I'm giving this one two Robin Scherbatskies,
because it takes a little bit longer.
I can see where this would take, like, two minutes max,
once you have it down, and your baby hairs
are not gonna get in the way.
Your hair is not gonna fall out.
So whether you just really like to have it back
for your like hour long workout at the gym,
or if you're an athlete working out
hours on hours on hours and you really need your hair back,
it's gonna help you out,
it's gonna be that line of defense that you need.
Oh, you know what this hairstyle
would be great for for me?
Boxing, because when you've got
freaking like lobsters claws for hands,
you can't sweep your hair back,
and it ends up all in my face,
and I'm very sweaty in boxing,
and then I'm just like.
To round off the very most functional of the hairstyles,
I think I need to mention a very important pony tail trick.
And that is to do your ponytail in two steps.
It takes a little bit longer,
but for those of you guys who have super big, heavy hair,
it's both gonna help you not feel
as much pain from the weight of your hair,
and it's gonna help your hair stay up better.
So essentially I draw a diagonal line from my ears back
and then you can either put the top half in a ponytail first
or you can put the bottom half in a ponytail first.
I like to do the bottom half first,
because that's gonna be like the anchor
that holds your hair in place,
and then you can just sweep the top back
and do what you want as you do that.
That way, if you need a little bit of extra control
to add in some gel or anything like that
as you're pulling the top back,
you have that and you're not trying to
wrestle with all of your hair at once.
And from here, you can do whatever you want really.
You can add in a scrunchie, you could do a headband,
you could do snap clips, you could do bobby pins,
or you can leave it as is,
but I do find that this is the best,
especially if you really want to distribute
the weight of your hair around your head.
It's basically just a good all around extra little step
that you can take, it's very much worth it,
because it helps, you know, with the breakage,
with the weight, with the hairline, all of that is worth it.
So to take our previous hairstyles
and make them a little bit more, like,
sporty spice, I'm walking around in leggings
because I wish I was in pajamas moment,
we're gonna loosen up the baby hairs.
Then you throw on a headband
behind the hair that we've left out.
Then we wrap a little bit of hair around the elastic,
and then throw on your sporty spice jacket
and you're good to go.
See what I mean?
You're fully like sporty spice,
ready to like run around, look like a productive human
while feeling as comfortable as you would
in pajamas and a messy bun.
Also this hairstyle has a lot more consistently good results
then a messy bun, which we know can be very cantankerous.
You know, while we're talking about it, you could have
some fully unnecessary snap clips in there too.
Oh my gosh, she's so cool.
She probably drinks so many smoothies
and works out so many times a week.
Like, oh my gosh.
Actually, you know what, forget it with the lime green ones.
Let's go all in with like a bedazzled one.
Who is she?
If you can pull that off, you're probably
like so much cooler than me.
Okay, that was my sporty spice athleisure take
on the first couple hairstyles we did.
Now let's keep moving on with our for the gym hairstyles.
We're gonna move on to a bun.
I already have my hair in a ponytail,
so I'm just going to wrap it around a few times
and pin it in place.
And from here, we're gonna utilize
the exposed bobby pin trend.
Essentially within this trend, you can get away
with just bobby pinning however you want.
I'm gonna make a little bit of a design,
because, like, I'm me, but you really can
go as crazy as you want here.
And the fun thing is you can either do it on the side here
or on the back to take care of some baby hairs,
but I do like to do it with a bun,
because I find if you do it with a ponytail,
then the free hair in the ponytail
gets stuck in the bobby pins, which doesn't look cute.
And then basically on any area where you're not doing
the decorative bobby pins, you can do
the little twist and pin method from before
to make sure that all the baby hairs,
whether it's on the side of your face
or in the back of your head are secured
and will not pop out throughout your workout.
And that is the bobby pin hairstyle.
I think this is both functional and pretty.
I'd give it like one Lulu Lemon,
because it takes a minute to get
the bobby pins in there right,
but it's not super hard or time consuming.
And another fun and even easier thing
you can do in the back is use snap clips,
that way you get like the functionality
of pinning everything up, but also
you have a little like peekaboo moment
in the back of a hairstyle.
This one is just ridiculously easy.
You can do it with your favorite messy bun
or quick bun of choice and it adds
that extra functionality and a little bit of look
to go with your active wear.
On that note, back to athleisure sport spice,
you could also do a little bit of like
an Ari G moment in the back
and have some bedazzled snap clips.
I think overall, it's a v cute style.
Who am I?
V cute, Ari G.
And finally, let's do something braided.
Now I feel anytime you're gonna like do a braid braid,
it's like three Lulu Lemons.
It's gonna take a minute, but it's also gonna pay off
and be very pretty, so let's do today's braided hairstyle.
I've already got a middle part going.
I'm gonna dutch braid the first side back from my hairline
to where a low ponytail would sit.
Now the key to the prettiest of the braids
is to take really tiny sections,
because that gets you the most links in a braid,
it gets you the most detailed looking braid,
and I think it also helps the braid
to stay better as you're working out.
So it feels like it's taking longer as you're doing it,
but in reality, it doesn't take more
than maybe a minute longer, and the result is much better.
And then I'm gonna do the same thing on the other side.
Ah, I love it when there's this one random hair
that didn't fully get pulled back.
If you have this little situation
with like a little rogue bump like this guy,
take a bobby pin, pin it through that,
and then pull it down to the braid,
and pin it under the braid.
What bump?
So I am going to pull apart the braid the tiniest bit,
just because I want these links right here
to look a little bit rounder.
That angle is a little bit acute right now,
and I just wanna expand it.
Acute, expand.
And that's it.
We're not trying to fluff,
we're just kinda giving it a little exhale.
And now we secure the braids together with an elastic.
I'm pulling out the bobby pins that were in the ponytail
and fluffing it out, and this is my athlete version
of the hairstyle, it's gonna stay in really well.
It's definitely held in place, but you know
you have the added effect of having braids
if that's what you want.
Now if we wanna like fluff it up a bit
and make it more of kinda like an everyday hairstyle
versus like a workout workout hairstyle,
here's what we're gonna do.
First, I'm gonna pull this braid apart some more.
So I'm going in and I'm pulling on the edges of the braid,
and just pulling kind of those outside hairs out.
And the thing is, I could still wear this to,
you know, a bar class or something, nothing crazy.
No boxing maybe.
See, you can still work out in it.
And you can fully leave that in a ponytail if you want,
I think it's really cute, but for the final option,
I'm gonna grab a scrunchie and turn it into a shinion,
by putting the scrunchie on and on the last rotation,
leaving the hair looped.
And that's another really pretty version
that you could definitely wear
as like a sporty spice athleisure moment
or you could wear for yoga, pilates, or bar.
I think I might actually wear this
to my bar class this weekend.
Okay, that is it for our workout and athleisure hairstyles.
I hope that you guys enjoyed it
and got some good inspo for your time at the gym
or just your time where you want your hair
out of your face and still looking put together.
I actually really enjoyed this,
and I'm definitely gonna be using these
as I get back into working out,
and I hope that you guys enjoy them as well.

I couldn't get the straw in my mouth.
- [Woman] It's on inside out.
I don't think you can tell.
- We're gonna change it after this one.
