Whether you’re training to run 26.2 miles (major props to you, btw) or showing up to your weekly run club for the post-jog coffee, there’s one thing that I firmly believe in: Your running hairstyle should be just as cute as it is functional. Keeping your hair out of your face and off your neck is a must, but who says it can’t look good at the same time? I found a bunch of great hairstyles for running that are proof you don’t have to choose between style and practicality.
Think braided ponytails, bubble braids, and slicked-back buns that can withstand even the sweatiest workouts and look just as good in your post-run selfies as they do at the starting line. So, if you’re gearing up for race day, logging a couple miles with your running besties, or simply wanting a look that can survive your next workout, here’s your guide to running hairstyles that go the distance—literally—without sacrificing any style. Bring a little personality to your running hairstyle with a double bubble ponytail and colorful clips.
Any shorter layers will stay put thanks to the multiple hair ties, while the clips add some cute personality (plus double as flyaway prevention). You really can’t go wrong with a classic high ponytail. It works with practically any running outfit and takes approximately 10 seconds to style.
Just make sure you’re using a secure, non-slip hair tie so it doesn’t start falling halfway through your run. A bandana and two classic braids are basically a match made in running heaven. The braids keep long hair from getting tangled, and the bandana helps manage flyaways and sweat.
Plus, the whole look is giving total effortless cool girl. Not every running hairstyle has to involve a ponytail or braid. A wide, stretchy headband is oh-so comfy and keeps hair off your forehead while looking super trendy.
It’s an easy option for shorter runs, shorter hairstyles that can’t make it into a ponytail, or anyone who prefers wearing their hair down, for any reason (though longer hair may still tangle if things get intense). A single braid is one of those hairstyles that never goes out of style—and for good reason. But this one takes it to the next level by using two bubble braids that cascade down into that single braid.
