Hairstyles suitable for sports?

I didn't catch how long your hair was, but what I do is coil my hair into a very tight bun and put a speedo lycra swim cap over it (like a bun cover) using a hairtie to hold that in place, then pull the edges tight. It gives the bun cover a scrunchie/ruffly look around the edges, and (in my personal opinion) doesn't look all that bad either. Stays put for days, even with the weight of my hair.

Pony Scrubs (www.blueskyscrubs.com) work for me. Pretty secure and very very protective.

For ballet classes I wear sort of a Gibraltar bun secured with 4-6 scroos. For trampolining I used to wear a braided bun with about the same amount of scroos.

Sock buns and french braids work well for me.

I always recommend this french braid technique for sports. The advantage is even with your braid doubled underneath, you can fit a helmet on. There's no hairtoys at all holding it-just a nice secure ribbon-and it doesn't have a long tail hanging down.

In the picture, it looks like they just double the braid tail under itself and wind it into place with ribbon. But I keep tucking until my whole braid tail is tucked under the french braided part on top. I make sure the ribbon gets wound around all of it, so the tail is secure under my crown hair.

It ends up looking like I have short hair in a french braid, because there's no tail left at all.

Does that make sense?
