5 Best Hairstyles for Summer Running
Running in the summer can be a refreshing and invigorating experience, but it comes with its own set of challenges. The heat, humidity, and glaring sun can make even the most dedicated runners reconsider their usual routines. Proper hydration and sunscreen are essential, and so is choosing the right hair tie.
The combination of sweat, humidity, and the need to keep hair off your face and neck can make it difficult to find a hairstyle that stays in place and keeps you cool. Unlike other seasons, summer running requires hairstyles that are not only functional but also quick and easy to do. Here are the five best hairstyles for summer running that will help you enjoy your runs more, even in the heat.
1. High Bun
- Gather your hair into a high ponytail and secure it with a TIY hair tie.
- Twist the ponytail around the base, forming a tightly coiled bun.
- Secure the bun with another TIY hair tie.
The high bun is perfect for keeping hair off your neck and out of your face. When coupled with a TIY hair tie, it'll stay in place no matter how many miles you go. Plus, it's a stylish option that transitions well from running to casual outings.
2. Ponytail with Braid
-
Pull your hair into a high ponytail and secure it with a TIY hair tie.
-
Braid the ponytail all the way to the end and secure it with another TIY hair tie.
This hairstyle combines the simplicity of a ponytail with the added security of a braid. It keeps your hair from tangling, is suitable for various hair lengths, and reduces bounce, making it ideal for longer runs.
3. Low Ponytail with a Hat
- Gather your hair at the nape of your neck and secure it with a TIY hair tie.
- Put on a running hat, threading your ponytail through the back opening of the hat.
The low ponytail with a hat offers sun protection for your face and eyes. It's a great option for those who prefer to run during peak sunlight hours.
4. Double French Braids
- Part your hair down the middle into two equal sections. Tie one section up with a TIY hair tie to keep it out of your way while you work on the other.
- Starting from the front of your scalp, French braid each section separately, starting at the top.
- Secure both ends with TIY hair ties.
Double French braids distribute the weight of your hair evenly and stay secure throughout your run, even during high-intensity workouts. This style also minimizes frizz and keeps your hair neat.
5. Bubble Ponytail
- Pull your hair into a high ponytail and secure it with a TIY hair tie.
- Every few inches down the length of the ponytail, add another hair tie, pulling gently to create 'bubbles' between the ties.
The bubble ponytail is not only fun and trendy but also practical. It keeps hair secured and prevents tangling, making it a fun and functional choice for summer runs.
Hair Care Tips for Summer Running
Running in the summer can expose your hair to harsh sunlight and heat, which can cause damage. Here are some tips to protect your hair:
- Use UV Protection: Opt for hair products that contain UV filters to protect your hair from sun damage.
- Hydrate: Just like your body, your hair needs hydration. Use a deep conditioning mask weekly to keep your hair healthy.
- Avoid Heat Styling: Minimize the use of heat styling tools to prevent additional damage.
- Rinse After Running: Sweat and salt can build up, so rinse your hair after your run to keep it clean and healthy.
