Wear hair up for a month/few months/year challenge!

**Kina** · December 12th, 2011, 08:37 AM

I have a question for people. On Saturday, i went to the gym and put my hair in a high pony, clips, sticks and forks don't hold my hair up when I am jumping around, so I kept it in the pony.

Afterwords, my hair was tangled and matted. What go to styles do you use that use minimum amount of fastening but still keeps your hair up?

My hair has plenty of texture, so it's easy to put up, but gets heavy.

Thoughts? suggestions? should I take my question elsewhere? :-)

My hair is quite fine, so this may not work for you, but I find a hypno bun held with a flexi8 is solid enough for me to play badminton in, which has a fair amount of jumping around. I would have thought something like a flexi8 would be better at holding hair firmly than a stick - more grip!

I am going to rejoin this challenge. This year I managed to wear my hair up for 5-6 months but for the past 2-3 months i have been using the hair straighteners 1-2 times a week, been wearing my hair down almost everyday and have slipped a little on my hair journey. But I have had a trim (finally found a hairstylist who actually listened when i said trim!!), am ditching the hair straighteners again and joining this challenge...again

I currently have my two French braids pinned up, which is probably one of my go to hair styles along with my high bun.

I do Zumba several times a week. I usually wear an English braid or a clippy bun.
