Preserving your hairstyle is no longer an excuse for not hitting the gym

Braided Bun
"This classic style is a great way to mask damp hair and is supereasy to execute," says Markham. Apply a volumizing mousse from roots to ends. This helps create volume in the bun as it air dries, he says. Brush your hair back into a ponytail and tie it off with an elastic, then braid the ponytail and secure it with an elastic. Twist the braid around the base to form a bun, and pin into place with bobby pins.

Beachy Keen
Skip your usual workout ponytail and opt for two French braids instead, says Markham. Once you're done with spin class, take out the braids and comb through your hair with your fingers. Then he says to mist hair with a texture spray and work it through your hair with your fingers for that textured, messy vibe. If you need any touch-ups, a couple wraps around a large-barreled curling iron should do the trick. Set your style with a hairspray.

Sleek Bun
"Embrace damp (or even wet hair), and go for a supersophisticated slick bun," says Markham. He recommends using a detangling spray first to prevent snarls and snags. Use a hard hold gel throughout all your hair, then brush your hair back into a tight ponytail and secure it with a hair tie. Wrap the ponytail around the base of your bun, tuck in the ends and secure everything with bobby pins.

Braided Headband
"For short hair, try a headband braid," says Markham. "This dresses up a short style, while the natural texture achieved from your workout helps keep the braid intact." Create a deep side part in your hair, then separate a section of hair from ear to ear, he explains. Then, apply an anti-frizz serum to your hair and French braid it toward the opposite temple. Use a clear elastic band to tie it off, and pin it underneath your hair to hide the ends.
