5 CUTE HAIRSTYLES BY AVANTI TOLBERT + HER FLAVOR

TO WEAR TO THE GYM

The time of year when women begin to work off the holiday feasts is finally here! It’s time to work off grandma’s famous turkey and dressing and head to the gym to get our bodies right for some summertime fun! Now, you may be feeling a little hesitant to go to the gym and workout because of the postworkout hair struggle. If there’s two things we women don’t play about, they’re our families and our hair. Luckily, gym workouts aren’t one of those activities that include the whole family, so there’s only one thing that requires our immediate attention. If you’re looking for ways to manage your hair during your wild workouts, you’re in luck. Here are five hairstyles that will protect your hair while you show your body some very beneficial care:

1. HIGH PONYTAIL This gym-time style is cute, yet courageous. It works perfectly for long, luscious hair, and it’s super simple to create.

2. LOW PONYTAIL Planning on doing a lot of bending or other downward motions? Slick your hair back into a low ponytail and go for those refreshing downward poses!

3. TWO BRAIDS Going for more of a sporty look? Two French braids is the style for you, then. These braids let those around you know that you don’t play around when it comes to your fitness routines. Plus, they’ll leave some killer waves behind when you take them out!

4. MESSY BUN Since you’re probably going to mess it up anyways, your hairstyle doesn’t really have to be perfect. Messy buns are really fun and cute, and they keep your hair out of your face and off of your neck while you work up those heavy sweats.

5. FISHTAIL BRAID If you’re someone who hates having any loose hair flying while you work out, a fishtail braid will surely be your cup of tea. Not only are these braids uniquely beautiful, but they also provide you with that “girly” feeling that you may long for during tough workouts.
