then this is the video for you.
We're bringing you our favourite gym hair hacks
and hairstyles to keep your hair super healthy
and looking super cute at the gym.

As you can see, I'm without my Milk and Blush
hair extensions today, as you wouldn't advise
that you wear your dreamy hair to the gym.
We're working with natural hair.
All hacks are really easy, as well as the hairstyles,
so let's get straight into it.
If you didn't know already, dry shampoo
is your ultimate best friend.
And you may be in the habit of putting dry shampoo
into your hair after your workout,
once your hair is that little bit oilier,
and you want to refresh it.
But putting dry shampoo in your hair before you workout
can actually benefit you for after
you've finished your workout.
I always keep a mini dry shampoo in my gym bag,
so I get into the habit of putting the product
onto my roots before I workout.
Spraying dry shampoo onto your roots before you workout
means that the product can absorb all the sweat and oil
before it makes your hair greasy.
That way after the gym, you can simply brush your hair out
and you're good to go.
The dry shampoo also gives you a lovely little root boost,
which is great if you have plans after the gym,
and you don't want your hair to be flat.
So it'll clean your hair and give you volume,
what's not to love.
Our second hack is to use a blow dryer after you workout.
Now, if you completely work your butt off in the gym,
you're going to want to wash your hair,
but as we all know, washing your hair too much
isn't great for your tresses.
So if you don't want to wash your hair after you've
worked out, simply grab a blow dryer,
pop it on the cool setting, and blow dry your roots.
This will dry any damp hairs at the front and freshen it up.
Now I know what you're thinking.
This may sound a little gross to some of you,
but if you blow dry your hair what it's done
after your workout straight away,
the sweat and oils don't have a chance to build up bacteria,
which can make it smell.
So if you get rid of it straight away, you won't have
a problem, and your hair will still feel nice and fresh.
That if you have plans after the gym, you may want your
hair to look really nice and textured and wavy,
so it's a good idea to do this before you workout.
This works really well if you want to rock
beachy waves or natural texture.
So simply style your hair however you wish.
Then put your hair up into a bun or a ponytail
using an Invisibobble or a scrunchie,
do your workout, and then afterwards
you can just let your hair down,
add a little bit of dry shampoo or blow dry your roots,
and you're good to go.
Hack number four is to choose your hair accessories
wisely when it comes to working out.
If you have plans after the gym, you don't want to have
weird kinks or anything in your hair.
So instead of regular hair ties, opt for Invisibobbles,
scrunchies, or bobby pins.
These work really well at keeping your hair in place
and they won't leave any kinks in your hair afterwards.
Also using hair tools like this as opposed to regular
hair ties will minimise the amount of damage to your hair.
If you think about it, if you have your hair
in a really tight hair tie, and you're jumping up and down,
whether you're running or on the cross-train
or anything like that, that can cause tension on your hair
and the hair can break.
So Invisibobbles, scrunchies, and bobby pins
are much kinder to your tresses.
Hack number five is to use mousse on your roots
before you workout.
Stay with us, this sounds really silly but it really works.
Before you workout, simply take a little mousse
and rub it into your roots.
Put your hair up into your chosen gym hairstyle
and start your workout.
When you begin to workout, and sweat and oils
start to develop on your scalp, they'll actually soften
the mousse and it'll work in a weird kind of salt spray way,
which will allow your roots to have lift and texture.
So when you finish your workout and you let your hair down,
you'll have gorgeous volume and lovely root left.
Don't worry, you'll thank us later.
Now it's time for our favourite gym hairstyles.
Take the top section of hair and twist it into a small bun,
and secure in place with bobby pins.
This hairstyle is ridiculously simple and perfect
for the gym.

Smooth your hair back into a low ponytail,
keeping it as neat as you can.
You can use a comb to neaten it out
and smooth down any flyaways.
And then tie this with a small elastic.
And to jazz this ponytail up a little,
you can take some colourful bobby pins.
We've used these super cute pink ones here,
and create a bobby pin stack at the side of the ponytail.
You just slide them in and put in as many as you like.
And that's it, a super cute way to brighten up
the boring ponytail.

Tie the top section of hair using a clear elastic,
and keep this as neat as you possibly can.
Once that's done, you can gather the rest of your hair
into a low ponytail, and secure that with an elastic too.
And there you have it.
You've created a super cute and simple bubble ponytail.

This clever braid is perfect if you're planning on getting
super sweaty in the gym.
Start by dutch braiding your hair from the part,
and work your way to the back of your head.
And once you've done that, you just want to switch
the position of your arm slightly, and carry on braiding
up the other side of your head.
This can be a bit tricky, but with a little bit of practise,
you'll be doing it in no time.
Tie the braid with a small elastic,
then pinch and pool on the outsides of the braid,
for a more relaxed look.
Once that's done, you just need to grab a few bobby pins
and pin the tail of the braid underneath
the start of it, like so.
And that's it, a super cute braid perfect for working out.
