Share With Us: What's Your "Work-Out" Hair Do?

Before moving to France last year, you would find me in the gym at least 4 times a week. Spin and zumba classes were my favorite, but I would also do light strength building and occasionally swim and participate in a boot camp class. There is not really a "gym culture" here in France (let alone a "kids club" located withn the gym where children can play surpervised while parents work out).  came across an article today on a study pertaining to Black women avoiding exercise in order to maintain hairstyles. The article states that a third of women in the study indicated lower levels of exercise due to their hair.
Before moving to France last year, you would find me in the gym four times a week.  Spin and Zumba  classes were my favorite, however I would also do light strength training, yoga, and occasionally swim or participate in boot camp classes.  I have found that there is not really a gym culture here in France the way there is in the United States - there are not many around and the ones that do exist cost over $1200 per year and don't have kiddie care.  That said, I have had to find alternatives.  For the moment, I take Zumba classes in my neighborhood a couple times a week and will start running when the weather warms up.  So what does this all have to do with the title of this post?  Well today I came across an article on a study pertaining to Black women and exercise avoidance in order to maintain hairstyles.  So that got me to wondering what other exercising ladies out there do to their hair when exercising   Below is a photo of my post work out hair (before I got it cut a couple weeks ago). When wearing my hair flat-ironed, I generally make a high and tight ponytail and slide on a mesh or fabric type headband along my hairline. When wearing my hair curly, it's less of an issue because I rebrand my hair before sleeping.  Either way I try not to let my hair compromise my workouts...I'm a much better person to everyone around me when I exercise regularly : ) What is your workout hair do?
