Sweat-Proof Workout Hairstyles with Extensions: Keep Your Look Secure at the Gym
Two Pigtail Buns
This playful and practical style keeps your hair out of your face while distributing the weight of your extensions for ultimate comfort. Start by parting your hair down the middle, and creating two pigtails secured with hair elastics. Twist each pigtail into a bun, and pull apart gently to give a looser look. Secure with another hair tie and/or bobby pins. This style works great with Cashmere Hair's Classic Clip-in Extensions to add volume to your buns while staying secure during vigorous movement.
Tip: Make sure to clip in your extensions a bit lower on your head to avoid any tugging at the crown while you're moving.
Boxer Braids
Boxer braids also known as "double French braids," are a fantastic way to secure your hair especially for an intense workout. This hairstyle keeps all of your hair securely braided and also helps prevents tangling, making it perfect for HIIT workouts, cycling, or any other workout where you’ll be on the move. With Cashmere Hair, you can add volume and length to your boxer braids by effortlessly clipping in the Seamless Clip-in Extensions before braiding.
Tip: Use a texturizing spray or powder before clipping in your extensions to ensure they have grip and won’t slip as you move about.
Pigtails
Classic and cute, pigtails are a go-to for active days. Whether you’re lifting weights, going on a hot girl rock, or doing yoga, pigtails keep hair in check while still showing off your luscious locks. Opt for sleek low pigtails for a more polished look, or go for a more relaxed vibe by loosening the roots and taking out some front face framing pieces. Cashmere Hair Seamless extensions are the perfect accessory for this style, as they blend effortlessly with your natural hair.
Tip: Secure each pigtail with a sturdy elastic and make sure to place the clip-ins near the middle or bottom of your head for a maximum hold.
Messy Bun with a Hat
When you’re in a rush to hit the gym, nothing beats the classic messy bun topped off with a hat. This laid-back style hides unwashed roots and creates a chic yet practical gym look. The Cashmere Hair Ponytail Extension can add the perfect touch of extra fullness to your messy bun, giving it a voluminous boost while still staying securely in place for the entirety of your workout. Simply secure your natural hair into a ponytail, clip in the extension and secure with the velcro + bobby pins, twist it into a bun, and throw on your favorite cap.
Tip: If your workout includes intense cardio, opt for a looser fit around the crown to avoid tight tension on your scalp.
Workout Hair Extensions Tips:
- Pre-workout prep: Before clipping in your extensions, use a lightweight, sweat-proof hair product such as a dry shampoo or a texturizing spray. This will give your natural hair and extensions a little extra grit and hold.
- Avoid scalp tension: When creating any of the previous hairstyles, be sure to avoid pulling the extensions too tightly at the roots. This can cause discomfort throughout the day, and especially during high-intensity workouts.
- Post-workout care: After your workout, gently brush through your extensions with a our Cashmere Hair Brush to effortlessly remove tangles. If your extensions happened to get wet, be sure to allow them to air-dry before storing them.
Disclaimer: Be Careful When Working Out with Extensions
While Cashmere Hair extensions are designed to be incredibly durable, it is essential to take extra care of your clip-ins when exercising. Excessive sweat can cause extensions to slip or become matted. By making sure your extensions are securely clipped in, and avoiding tight styles that could put stress on your natural hair or the extensions themselves, you can ensure your luxury clip-ins will last as long as possible.
