Just because you're exercising doesn't mean you can't look cute while doing it. They say sexy workout clothes can motivate you to put more effort into your workouts and ultimately feel more confident, and I'm pretty sure the same applies to beauty. After all, most women want their hair to look good even when they're working out at the gym. So even if you're planning on working up a serious sweat on the treadmill tonight, you can still look as cute as you did earlier in the day. So forget those boring loose ponytails and make sure to try one of these chic, fuss-free hairstyles that are perfect in and out of the gym!

Chignon bun
Jennifer Lopez’s sleek hairstyle is perfect for keeping strands back and away from your face. Make a mid-length ponytail and secure with an elastic. Then divide the tail into two sections and twist to form a chignon. Pin with bobbypins.
High bun
For a high bun like Christina Milian’s, turn head upside down and twirl into a high bun. Secure with an elastic and then hold with a light flexible hairspray. If you don’t totally sweat out your tresses, you’ll get a ton of volume once you let your hair down!
Sleek ponytail
For a cute and slicked-back ponytail style like Salma Hayek’s, pull hair back into a mid-length ponytail and apply a hair gel or shine serum to the front to tame flyways.
Side braid
A loose side braid like the one Selena Gomez is wearing here is a great style to sport during your workouts. Don’t worry about loose, stray pieces. A little bit of texture and messiness works in the gym.
Braided headband
I can’t think of a better way to wear your hair up at the gym. Try doing a tighter braided headband if you’re going to be engaged in activities that are going to have you moving or sweating a lot.
