What's In My Gym Bag? Hair Edition | Fitness Friday


I love working out at home because---well---I can wear my old faded holey alum sweats, workout in my pre-shampoo oil treatment, and sport that sexy plastic cap that all the guys love. Lol. I've been married long enough that nothing that I do to my hair surprises my hubby. However, when I know I'm gonna hit the gym, there's no way that I'm sporting the same look. It's #FitnessFriday *round of applause* and here's what's in my gym bag...for my hair:
Bun Maker: Scunci Banana Clip 
My secret to a big doughy bun is a banana clip. I love a polished messy bun. Meaning, I want it to look casual but chic---even in the gym. 

 Moisturizer: Jessicurl Too Shea
Moisturized hair is happy hair. Period. I slap a little on my edges then put on my headband to keep my edges tame.

Dent Free Elastics: Karina Elastic Ties
When I'm trying to save a blowout or flat iron, I reach for my dent free hair ties. Plus these ones skip that pesky metal that your hair gets caught in. I found these hair ties on sale at Ulta a few weeks ago for about $2. That clearence section is my bestie!

Bobby Pins: Conair Black Bobby Pins
Who is eating my bobby pins? I bought a 60 pack last month. Now I have 20...maybe 30. Smh. There is a bobby pin monster in my house tormenting my soul! (I'm not dramatic though...) I use bobby pins to secure my buns and keep my hair from distracting me from putting in work!
 
Several Headbands: Scunci No Slip Grip
I found these in the dollar store. Yeah---the dollar store! Then I promptly purchased ten. Headbands are like bobby pins---they just disappear into thin air.


 My all time favorite gym style is a Double Dutch Braid into a bun. It's taut, cute, and works for just about all of my group classes. What's in your gym bag for your hair?

    Great post KLP, definitely need to look a lil cuter at the gym but anything goes at home. I have some Argan oil in my gym bag to add some to my edges once I take the sweat band off. :)

      Usually am in a high bun or french braids. Sometimes if am wearing my hair out after a fresh touch up I would cross wrap it. Wwhen am done I just let it air dry and voila! Edges are tamed and my hair stays straight.

      I keep a scarf on because I do a lot of floor work outs and cannot stand my strands touching/rubbing on the ground!

    4. KLP @ SavingOurStrandsApril 25, 2014 at 3:50 PM

      I totally feel you on that! If I'm doing mat work in the gym I put my towel down first. I will not believe that those mats are clean...regardless of what they use to rub them down!

      I haven't mastered the cross-wrap or just a regular wrap. LOL. My hair always looks wonky when I try.

    I usually go to the gym to run on the treadmill because I dont have one, but I am hoping to get one at home soon. Im like you I can got to the gym in anything, I have a to match my outfit, lol! Even though I usually running early in the morning when noone is there, but just in case, lol! I usually wear my hair in a top bun or knot with a headband to catch the sweat.

    At first the price of gym might be seem high to you but that price may include being able to take part in a spinning class, a Turbo Jam course, or another aerobic session.Legal anavar for women
