How To Wear Your Hair For Pilates | Fitness Friday

Pilates is kinda my think right now. If you're not similar with Pilates, think Yoga practice with intentional focus on sculpting, toning, and strengthening your torso, while increasing flexibility, circulation, and mental/physical well-being. Right after I signed up for my class, being the hair obsessed chica that I am, my next thought was "How in the world do you wear you hair for Pilates?" Ha-ha. Well, today on #fitnessfriday, I'm sharing my Pilates hair do's and don'ts plus a few hairstyles that will keep your hair looking amazing whilst you tone your body. 

Pilates Hair Do's:

• Wear your hair up: You know that girl who does more work trying to fix her hair during class than she does working out? Don't be that chica. 
• Secure your tresses: If you have bangs, pull them up. If you have layers, grab a headband to keep them out of your face and off your neck

Pilates Hair Don'ts:

• Say no to ponytails: My instructor told me a horror story about the time that someone got their long low ponytail stuck in one of the machines whilst working on her side bends. Enough said right?  
• Say no to low buns: Mat work requires proper head positioning. So those low buns will annoy the heck out of you.
• Say no to pins or barrettes: I suffered through a Pilates session with a bobby pin probing my brain. It was the worst thing ever! If you need to use pins, be sure that they are flat to your head not digging into your scalp.

My favorite Pilates hairstyles are combinations of braids, side tucks, and high buns. All of these styles keep you from fussing with your hair and allow you to concentrate on your body.

Have you ever tried Pilates? How did you wear your hair?
